Use Backstage in Okou
Use Backstage Software Catalog REST APIs to search, inspect, validate, refresh, analyze, register, update, and remove catalog entities and locations in a connected Backstage deployment.
Once connected, supported Backstage actions can become steps in a reusable workflow alongside the other services your team uses. Run the workflow once, on a schedule, or when an event starts it.
What you can do with Backstage
- Read entities, relations, batch results, and entity facets.
- Read registered locations and their entity associations.
- Validate a candidate entity without registering it.
- Analyze a location and potentially fetch its target.
