API ReferenceModels

Create Model

Creates a new model.

A model defines a query or view over a connection’s data — for example, a SQL query, a filtered object, or a joined dataset. Models are used as sources when creating model syncs.

The connection referenced by connection_id must have source capabilities. Use GET /api/connection_types/{id} to check whether a connection type supports use as a source.
