Models APIs

The model APIs allow you to interact with models in Omni.

Create a model

Creates a new model. The typical workflow for using this endpoint is:

Create a schema model using this endpoint
Use the refresh endpoint to load the schema for the created model
Create shared models based on the schema model

POST /api/v1/models
curl -L -X POST 'https://blobsrus.omniapp.co/api/v1/models' \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-H 'Authorization: Bearer <TOKEN>' \
-d '{
  "connectionId": "conn_123",
  "modelKind": "SCHEMA",
  "modelName": "My New Model",
  "accessGrants": [
    {
      "name": "test-grant",
      "accessBoostable": true
    }
  ]
}'
