Your OSDU Data Platform Adoption Journey
The EDI Data Platform Portal includes content that describes valuable steps and considerations as you explore, evaluate, and plan how you can optimize business value by adopting or supporting the OSDU® standard and using the OSDU® Data Platform.
Search
The EDI Data Platform Portal includes a simple user interface to the Search Service so that you can easily access and interact with the search service. You can supply a kind or wildcard of kinds to constrain your search, as well as provide a query that your search will use to find metadata. You can view your paginated search results beneath your query. You and other developers can use this capability to interactively test and develop queries and explore how the search service works before placing your queries in code. The search service is also available as an API endpoint that developers can invoke directly.
API and Service Interaction
In addition to using the EDI Data Platform Portal, you can interact with the Data Platform using code and developer tools that provide for web service access. To support ease of authentication and authorization while using such tools, you can access your OpenID Connect (OIDC) access token from the EDI Data Platform Portal.
While logged into the portal, choose the drop-down arrow next to your user name, then choose “Copy token” to copy your OIDC access token to the clipboard. You can then easily use it as the bearer token in API calls to OSDU Data Platform Services.
Energy Data Insights Components
You can access each of the other components that are included in Express for Energy Data Insights from the left navigation pane of the EDI Data Platform Portal. These are described in more detail in subsequent sections of this User Guide.
Support
Your EDI Data Platform Portal includes a support widget that you can use to easily submit questions, feedback, and support requests to the 47Lining support team. Support requests automatically notify 47Lining support staff. You will receive an email confirmation and subsequent interactions will be via email. You can also sign up to see your current and historic support requests at the Support Portal.
