  dbt Labs operates dbt Cloud, the managed platform for the open-source dbt (data build tool) used to transform data
  inside cloud warehouses. dbt Cloud exposes a set of APIs for managing accounts, projects, jobs, and runs
  programmatically (Administrative API), inspecting project metadata (Discovery API), and querying governed metrics
  (Semantic Layer API).

  description: >-
    The dbt Cloud Administrative API manages accounts, projects, jobs, runs, environments, and other resources. It is
    the primary integration point for external orchestrators (Airflow, Dagster, Prefect) and for Terraform-based
    management of dbt Cloud configuration.

  description: >-
    Every time dbt Cloud runs a project, it generates and stores information about the project. The Discovery API
    exposes that metadata including details about models, sources, exposures, and execution results so teams can
    understand and govern their DAG.
