Data Access Platform (DAP) is the warehouse-scale data export API for Canvas Data 2 — the successor to Canvas Data 1 / Canvas Data CLI. DAP exposes Canvas tables and Caliper-derived event streams as snapshot and incremental queries against the canvas and catalog namespaces, intended for bulk download into a customer's data lake or warehouse.
