TL;DR

Browse the Atlan apps you can create and run with the Python SDK (pyatlan)—a builder per connector for crawlers, miners, and enrichment jobs.

Supported apps

An app is a connector workflow that runs on your tenant—a crawler (pulls metadata), a miner (pulls query history for lineage and usage metrics), or an enrichment job—and publishes the results to Atlan for discovery. A single connector can expose more than one app: for example, Snowflake has a crawler app and a miner app.

Every app has a typed, UI-equivalent builder in pyatlan.model.apps that walks the same three steps as the "new app" wizard—Credential → Connection → Metadata—so you can create and run an app without knowing the underlying payload.

  • For the full lifecycle—create, run, list, update, schedule, and delete—see Manage apps.
  • Each app below documents every authentication method and configuration option.
Can't find an app for your connector?

If a connector doesn't have a builder yet, you can still create and run its app by passing a raw inputs dict (matching the app's input contract) to client.app.create():

app_create_example.py
from pyatlan.client.atlan import AtlanClient

client = AtlanClient()

response = client.app.create(
app_id="bigquery-crawler",
name="my-workflow",
inputs={...}, # values matching the app's input contract
run=True,
)

Use client.app.get_input_contract("<app-id>") to discover the available input keys, types, and defaults for any app.

Utility apps​

Utility apps export, transform, or derive metadata rather than crawl a source into Atlan.

  1. Asset Export Basic: export assets, glossaries, and data products to a file (download, email, or object storage).
  2. Standard Lineage: build lineage across multiple connections of one connector (reads their miners' query history—no crawl, no credential); re-scope as connections are onboarded.
