Data & Content → Internal API lets you explore and test the CYPEX backend’s own endpoints, rendered from its generated OpenAPI specification.
This screen is System Administrator only (system admin visibility).
CYPEX exposes two different HTTP surfaces. They are not interchangeable:
| REST API | Internal API | |
|---|---|---|
| What it exposes | Your queries (database views), as PostgREST endpoints | CYPEX platform endpoints — administration, authentication, connectors, audit |
| Who it is for | Applications and external consumers of your data | Platform administration |
| Access control | PostgreSQL grants and Row-Level Security | Backend authorization; System Administrator only |
| Where the spec comes from | Generated by PostgREST from the exposed schema | Generated from the backend’s OpenAPI specification |
If you are integrating an external system with your CYPEX data, use the REST API. The Internal API is an administration and debugging surface.
