Founded in 2016 by Dimitri Sirota and Nimrod Vax, BigID exposes every action available in its UI through a REST API rooted at /api/v1 — covering data sources, scans, catalog, cluster analysis, DSPM cases, and DSARs — plus an App Framework for building custom apps, a connector framework (Java and REST) for new data sources, and an MCP surface for AI agents. image: https://kinlane-productions2.s3.amazonaws.com/apis-json/apis-json-logo.jpg created: '2026-05-25' modified: '2026-05-25' specificationVersion: '0.16' type: Index access: 3rd-Party tags: - Data Security - DSPM - DLP - Privacy - AI Security - Data Catalog - DSAR - Data Discovery - Compliance apis: - aid: bigid:bigid-authentication-api name: BigID Authentication API description: >- Authenticate against a BigID deployment using either username/password or a long-lived user token.
