Meta Hub REST APIs overview
Meta Hub is a Boomi Platform feature that centralizes and manages metadata across your organization. It lets you define, discover, and govern shared business terms, called Glossaries, so that data carries a consistent meaning across systems, integrations, and teams. Meta Hub gives your organization a single source of truth for business metadata, which improves clarity, reduces duplication, and strengthens collaboration between technical and business users.
With Meta Hub, you can do the following:
- Create and manage business Glossaries and their definitions.
- Track glossary publication and endorsement workflows.
- See who creates, updates, and approves business terms.
Meta Hub serves the following users:
- Data stewards and admins who manage business data governance.
- Developers who integrate business metadata into automated workflows.
- Business users who need visibility into approved and standardized data terminology.

You can authenticate access to Meta Hub APIs in two ways using JWT authentication or through an AI agent, using the authentication options available when configuring an Agentstudio API tool.
