Wave Platform - APIOverview

Based on the Connect/Chatter API● Works in same way as other Force.com APIs● Uses Salesforce session IDs (OAuth, SAML, etc.)● Includes URLs for linking to related resources● Supports CRUD (GET, PUT, POST, PATCH, DELETE) on most asset types● Apps, Dashboards, Lenses, Datasets, Templates, and XMD

Dynamic Queries● Execute Salesforce Analytics Query Language (SAQL) queries● Returns query results as native JSON (no ugly XML-JSON)

High Scalability and Performance● Able to scale much higher than Force.com counterparts● Higher limits than most Force.com APIs

Wave Platform - APIGA Spring ‘16

SAQL - Salesforce Analytics Query Language● Used to access data in Wave Analytics datasets● Supports statement chaining● Statements

○ Keywords (filter, group, order, etc.)

○ Identifiers (accounts, ‘Id’, etc.)

○ Operators ( +, -, ==, >, &&, etc.)

○ Literals (16, 32.4, “My Results”)

Wave Platform - APIQuery

q = group q by (ProductName);

q = foreach q generate ProductName, sum(TotalPrice) as sum_Price,

percentile_cont(0.95) within group (order by 'TotalPrice') as

'sum_95Percentile';
