Create block
POST /api/pipelines/:pipeline_uuid/blocks
Create a new block in one or more pipelines.
Human readable block name. This is used to generate the UUID, e.g. restless dust. Names will be slugified to a safe-uuid.
Type of block:
callback, chart, conditional, custom, data_exporter, data_loader, dbt, extension, global_data_product, markdown, scratchpad, sensor, transformer
Block color displayed by the frontend for custom blocks. All other block types have predefined colors.
An optional parameter specifying a block configuration file For example, {data_source: "s3"} will create an s3 data loader.
Miscellaneous configuration settings for the block.
The content of block formatted as a string. Use /n for newlines. Omitting will create an empty block.
UUID of extensions, currently Great Expectations is the only extension supported.
The block language:
python, sql, r, yaml, markdown
Array of strings containing the pipeline uuids for which the block is a member.
The 0-indexed position of the block in the pipeline, e.g. 0 is the first block location.
An array of strings representing the uuids of upstream blocks (the blocks on which the new block depends). For example, ["a", "b"] will create a block that depends on blocks a and b.
The unique id of the block. This is generated from name, so it’s not necessary to populate this field.
