Integrate with Entropy Data

Entropy Data is a commercial platform to manage data contracts. It provides a web UI, access management, and data governance for a data product marketplace based on data contracts.

The Data Contract CLI integrates with Entropy Data through the --publish option: it runs the tests and pushes the full results to the Entropy Data API, where they are displayed and tracked over time.

Publish test results​

Reference the contract by URL, run the tests against a server, and append --publish. Provide your API key as an environment variable.

export ENTROPY_DATA_API_KEY=xxx

datacontract test https://demo.entropy-data.com/demo279750347121/datacontracts/4df9d6ee-e55d-4088-9598-b635b2fdcbbc/datacontract.yaml \
  --server production \
  --publish https://api.entropy-data.com/api/test-results

The same --publish option is available on ci and dbt sync, so you can report results from CI/CD and scheduled runs — see Test your contract → Scheduling and CI/CD.

Publish the contract​

Use the publish command to push a data contract itself to Entropy Data:

datacontract publish datacontract.yaml
