## Query parameters

- `entityType` string, required
- `parentUrn` string, uri: A URN identifying a resource in any realm of the Public API. URNs follow RFC 8141. Format: urn:ata:{tenant}:{realm}:{resource-type}:{uuid} Components: - `urn` — fixed scheme - `ata` — Ataccama namespace - `{tenant}` — tenant identifier from the authentication context - `{realm}` — API realm, for example `catalog` or `reference-data` - `{resource-type}` — resource type within the realm, for example `catalog-item` or `table` - `{uuid}` — UUID (v4 or v7) of the resource Example: urn:ata:acme-corp:reference-data:table:123e4567-e89b-12d3-a456-426614174000.
- `search` string
- `name` string
- `after` string
- `size` integer
- `sort` string[]
- `properties` string[]
- `include` string[]

## Response `200`

Paginated list of entities.

- object
  - `meta` PaginationMetadata
    - `next` string: Encoded string representing the next page. Omitted if there are no more pages.
    - `total` integer: Total number of items available across all pages.
  - `data` GenericEntity[]
    - `urn` string, uri, required: A URN identifying a resource in any realm of the Public API. URNs follow RFC 8141. Format: urn:ata:{tenant}:{realm}:{resource-type}:{uuid} Components: - `urn` — fixed scheme - `ata` — Ataccama namespace - `{tenant}` — tenant identifier from the authentication context - `{realm}` — API realm, for example `catalog` or `reference-data` - `{resource-type}` — resource type within the realm, for example `catalog-item` or `table` - `{uuid}` — UUID (v4 or v7) of the resource Example: urn:ata:acme-corp:reference-data:table:123e4567-e89b-12d3-a456-426614174000.
    - `parentUrn` string, uri: A URN identifying a resource in any realm of the Public API. URNs follow RFC 8141. Format: urn:ata:{tenant}:{realm}:{resource-type}:{uuid} Components: - `urn` — fixed scheme - `ata` — Ataccama namespace - `{tenant}` — tenant identifier from the authentication context - `{realm}` — API realm, for example `catalog` or `reference-data` - `{resource-type}` — resource type within the realm, for example `catalog-item` or `table` - `{uuid}` — UUID (v4 or v7) of the resource Example: urn:ata:acme-corp:reference-data:table:123e4567-e89b-12d3-a456-426614174000.
    - `rootSuperType` string, required: The root super type of the entity in the metadata model type hierarchy, for example, `term`.
    - `concreteType` string, required: The concrete (most specific) type of the entity in the metadata model, for example, `businessTerm`.
    - `properties` object: A map of properties defined for the entity in the metadata model. Only the properties you explicitly request through the `properties` query parameter are included. Property names must match the metadata model exactly. Supported property value types are scalars (string, number, Boolean), URN references, arrays of those, or `null`.
    - `effectiveStewardship` EffectiveStewardship: The stewardship that applies to an entity: either assigned directly to the entity or inherited from an ancestor, such as the source of a catalog item. Resolving effective stewardship takes additional processing time, so request it only when you need it.
      - `groupUrn` string, uri, required: A URN identifying a group resource in the IAM API. To find a group's URN, use the Groups endpoints of the IAM API. Format: urn:ata:{tenant}:iam:group:{uuid} Example: urn:ata:acme-corp:iam:group:123e4567-e89b-12d3-a456-426614174000.
      - `originUrn` string, uri, required: A URN identifying a resource in any realm of the Public API. URNs follow RFC 8141. Format: urn:ata:{tenant}:{realm}:{resource-type}:{uuid} Components: - `urn` — fixed scheme - `ata` — Ataccama namespace - `{tenant}` — tenant identifier from the authentication context - `{realm}` — API realm, for example `catalog` or `reference-data` - `{resource-type}` — resource type within the realm, for example `catalog-item` or `table` - `{uuid}` — UUID (v4 or v7) of the resource Example: urn:ata:acme-corp:reference-data:table:123e4567-e89b-12d3-a456-426614174000.
