Lakekeeper Generic Table (Data) API is one of 13 APIs that [Lakekeeper](https://apis.io/providers/lakekeeper/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network, described by a machine-readable OpenAPI specification. Tagged areas include Data Catalog, Lakehouse, Metadata, and Data Engineering. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes an OpenAPI specification, API documentation, and an API reference.

Lakekeeper's data-plane API served under /lakekeeper/v1, cataloging non-Iceberg table formats — Lance, Delta, CSV, Parquet — alongside Iceberg tables in the same Warehouse and Namespace, with the same credential vending and access control. Six operations across four paths covering list, create, load and drop of generic tables, plus a referenced-by lookup. Consumed by the official pylakekeeper Python client and the Lakekeeper Java/Spark clients.
