We are currently developing our API to bring data out of Gainsight and our developer was looking for a list of all the primary keys for each object. There isn’t any documentation with this that is easily accessible.

@rishi  Our team is working on an object metadata API which can pull the metadata information(Just Read) .

Can you pls elaborate on the use-case you are looking at here . What all object meta data you require apart from primary keys.

Also do you foresee requirement of CRUD operations on metadata through API.

For example, in order to effectively store our Gainsight’s data in a data-warehouse a primary key is needed to ensure data consistency. Especially if we are doing incremental updates. CRUD will be a nice to have (will certainly help) but not required.
