api: Delphix Data Control Tower (DCT) API v3.28.0
authentication:
  style: api-key
  scheme: ApiKeyAuth
  location: header
  header: Authorization
  token_prefix: apk
  note: >-
    Prefix the API key with "apk" in the Authorization header
    (e.g. "Authorization: apk 1.abcd..."). See authentication/.
base_path: /dct/v3
idempotency:
  supported: false
  note: >-
    The DCT OpenAPI declares no idempotency-key header or parameter. Many mutating
    operations are asynchronous and return a jobId (see async_jobs below) rather than
    relying on request idempotency keys.
pagination:
  style: cursor
  request_params:
  - name: cursor
    in: query
    description: Opaque cursor marking the start of the next page.
  - name: limit
    in: query
    description: Maximum number of items to return per page.
  response:
    envelope: object
    items_field: items
    metadata_field: response_metadata
    metadata_schema: PaginatedResponseMetadata
sorting:
  style: per-resource sort parameters (e.g. bookmarksSortParam, vdbsSortParam) with sort_by and ascending/descending controls
async_jobs:
  supported: true
  pattern: >-
    Long-running mutating operations return HTTP 202 with a job object containing a
    jobId; poll the Jobs API for terminal state. The dct-toolkit CLI waits for job
    completion by default.
  response_codes: [202]
error_envelope:
  formats:
  - schema: ErrorResponse
    fields: [error, error_description]
    description: OAuth/gateway-style error with code and human-readable description.
  - schema: Error
    fields: [message, object_name]
    description: Object-level error with a message and the affected object name.
  - schema: Errors
