:::danger Deprecated
The REST API method for extracting Databricks lineage is **deprecated**. Use the [system tables method](https://docs.atlan.com/llms/connectors/databricks/extract-lineage-and-usage-from-databricks/llms.txt) instead, which provides more reliable and comprehensive lineage extraction. The REST API extraction method is scheduled for removal in a future release.
:::

Your Databricks workspace must be [Unity Catalog-enabled](https://docs.databricks.com/en/data-governance/unity-catalog/get-started.html) to successfully extract lineage using APIs. The data lineage API is not supported if you're using Hive metastore. You will need to [migrate your Hive tables and views](https://docs.databricks.com/en/data-governance/unity-catalog/migrate.html) to Unity Catalog.

Atlan recommends extracting lineage for your Databricks assets using [system tables](https://docs.databricks.com/en/admin/system-tables/index.html#grant-access-to-system-tables). You must have a Unity Catalog-enabled workspace to use system tables. See [How to set up Databricks](https://docs.atlan.com/llms/connectors/databricks/set-up-databricks/llms.txt).
