Starburst Galaxy exposes a public REST API secured with OAuth2 client credentials for managing clusters, catalogs, users, roles, privileges, access policies, data products, and SQL jobs.

Starburst publishes 1 API on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Data Analytics, Data Lakehouse, SQL Query Engine, and Trino.

Starburst’s developer surface includes documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, support, engineering blog, pricing, signup flow, and 18 more developer resources.
