Get Started With Starburst

There are three steps to connect Starburst with Secoda:

1. Create an API auth token

2. Retrieve your starburst instance URI

3. Connect Starburst to Secoda

Create a Starburst API auth token

The Starburst API uses authentication tokens to allow access, so create a new auth token for secoda by following these steps:

1. From your Starburst home page, navigate to the left sidebar

2. Under the ‘Access’ dropdown, click on the ‘API auth token’ header

1. Click the ‘Generate new token’ button

2. Assign a role that has access to the tables you wish to extract and optionally add a description

3. Save the Client ID and Secret Key to be entered into Secoda

Retrieve your Starburst instance URI

This is the URI that your workspace hosted in and can be found in the URL whenever you are logged in and in the workspace you want to bring into Secoda. This host will be in the format of https://{custom-instance}.galaxy.starburst.io, where the {custom-instance} is specific to your workspace.

For example, when you are on the home page of Starburst (navigated to by clicking in the top left corner on the Starburst logo), your URL will be https://secoda.galaxy.starburst.io/home so your host will be https://secoda.galaxy.starburst.io in this case.

Starburst user email and password

Starburst uses a user email and password to extract the query history and table lineage of the Starburst workspace so these extra credentials are required by Secoda to have a complete picture of Starburst.

Connect Starburst to Secoda

After creating a Starburst user, the next step is to connect Starburst to Secoda:

1. In the Secoda App, navigate to the 'Integrations' tab.

2. Click on ‘Add Integration’.

3. Search for and select ‘Starburst’.

4. Enter the details for your Starburst workspace, including the host URI, authentication token client ID and secret key

5. Add a user email and password to enable lineage and query extraction

6. Click 'Connect'.
