What this trail covers

Hex has evolved its administrative capabilities by introducing a comprehensive set of REST and Observability APIs. These APIs allow for programmatic management of users, groups, projects, and data connection credentials, enabling automation, enhanced governance, and deeper integration with existing data platforms. The Observability API, specifically for Enterprise customers, provides insights into project data usage, such as queried tables, aiding in audits and lineage mapping. This evolution also explores the possibility of an MCP server for scaled orchestration.

All Hex trails
  1. Introducing new REST and Observability APIs for Hex AdminsIntroduced REST APIs for programmatic management of users, groups, projects, and data connections. Added an Observability API (Enterprise only) with a `queriedTables` endpoint for auditing, lineage mapping, and impact analysis of project data usage. Explores the concept of an MCP server for scaled orchestration.
  2. Announcing: Orchestration integrations and the Hex public APIThis post introduces first-class integrations with Airflow and Dagster for triggering Hex projects programmatically within existing DAGs. It also announces a new public API with endpoints for running projects, getting run status, canceling runs, and retrieving project run history. These capabilities enable deeper integration of Hex into broader data workflows and custom automations.
