Prerequisites

To effectively work with the Dynamic API, you should be familiar with RESTful APIs and with 1010data Insights Platform concepts.

We recommend that users of the Dynamic API are already familiar with other service APIs such as REST or SOAP. While similar to REST APIs in several ways, the Insights Platform's stateful, session-based access model is different from traditional REST APIs. Therefore, we also recommend knowledge of Insights Platform sessions, directories, tables, and queries.

To use the Dynamic API, a valid Insights Platform account with API access is required.

Note: The examples in this guide are written in Python 3 and use the Requests HTTP library for Python. Refer to http://python-requests.org for more information. However, you may use any language that supports HTTP transactions, as well as any HTTP library.
