Set up Confluent Schema Registry

Create API keys on Confluent Cloud so Atlan can access metadata from your Schema Registry environment. Atlan doesn't make any API requests or queries that modify the resources in your Confluent Cloud Schema Registry environment.

Prerequisites​

Before you begin, make sure you have:

  • Schema Registry administrator access in Confluent Cloud -- you may need your administrator to complete these steps
  • Access to the Confluent Cloud Console for your environment

Create API key​

To create an API key for crawling Confluent Schema Registry:

  1. Log in to your Confluent Cloud instance.
  2. From the left menu of the Cloud Console, click Environments and then select your environment.
  3. On your environment page, under Stream Governance API in the right menu, for Endpoint, click the clipboard icon to copy the endpoint and store it in a secure location.
  4. Under Credentials in the right menu, click View & manage if there are any existing API keys or click 0 keys if there are none to open the API credentials dialog.
  5. In the API credentials dialog, click + Add key if there are any existing API keys or click Create key if there are none to create a new schema registry API key.
  6. From the Create a new Schema Registry API key dialog:
    1. For Key, click the clipboard icon to copy the API key and store it in a secure location.
    2. For Secret, click the clipboard icon to copy the API secret and store it in a secure location.
    3. For Description, enter a description -- for example, Atlan integration API key.

You need the schema registry endpoint, API key, and API secret when configuring the crawler.
