Technical detail
Fides utilizes API endpoints to access the API service for a SaaS application. An API service is the programmatic interface through which Fides can query and update data within an application to access, rectify, or delete personal information. Each SaaS tool will have a unique set of endpoints to enable privacy functions.
Datadog Endpoints
In the table below, you can find which endpoints are used for each type of privacy function. Clicking on the endpoint will take you to the documentation for that endpoint.
| Privacy function | Endpoint | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Access Requests | Logs (opens in a new tab) | Used to search and fetch logs. |
