Update the connection settings of an existing workspace. You can switch between datasource, datamart, or multi-datasource configurations. Updating a workspace also updates all associated metrics to use the new connection.
Important: Updating a workspace connection will automatically update all metrics in that workspace to use the new datasource or datamart connection. Ensure the new connection has compatible table and column structures to avoid breaking existing metrics.
The workspace name is used to identify which workspace to update and cannot be changed through this endpoint. To rename a workspace, you’ll need to create a new one and migrate your content.
Authentication
This endpoint requires a service token in the Authorization header. Service tokens differ from data app API keys and provide organization-level permissions. To access your service token:- Go to your Databrain dashboard and open Settings.
- Navigate to Settings.
- Find the Service Tokens section.
- Click the “Generate Token” button to generate a new service token if you don’t have one already.
Headers
Bearer token for API authentication. Use your API key from the data app.
