About APIs
Oracle LSH includes a set of APIs that enable you to do most of the things you can do through the user interface, including creating, modifying, and installing objects.
You can call Oracle LSH APIs from source code in a defined Program in Oracle LSH. In this case, no additional security or setup is required.
If you have an Oracle LSH database account with certain privileges, you can also develop programs that call APIs in a tool outside of Oracle LSH; such as SAS, Oracle SQL Developer, or SQL*Plus. You can then see views of all the Oracle LSH data you need, including data from both the LSH (CDR) schema and, for classification data, the TMS schema. You can make the programs you write available to other people from the external tool. See Calling APIs from Outside the Oracle Life Sciences Data Hub.
