Danaraj Ram Kumar breaks out the Python IDE:
There are several approaches to work with Microsoft Purview entities programmatically, especially when needing to perform bulk operations such as documenting a large number of tables and columns dynamically.
This article shows how to use the Python SDK for Purview to programmatically document Purview table columns in bulk – assuming there are many tables and columns that needed to be automatically documented based off a reference tables – as in this example, the data dictionary maintained in Excel.
On the other hand, Purview REST APIs can be used to natively work with the REST APIs whereas the Python SDK for Purview is a wrapper that makes it easier to programmatically interacts with the Purview Atlas REST APIs in the backend.
