Create a workspace using the Account API (Public Preview)

January 31, 2022

Use the Account API to create workspaces, delete workspaces, and manage workspace network resources. This account-level API is available as a Public Preview.

Authenticate to Databricks REST APIs using a Google ID

January 31, 2022

Authenticate to Databricks REST APIs using Google-issued OpenID Connect (OIDC) tokens, commonly known as Google ID tokens. For workspace-level APIs, this is an alternative to Databricks personal access tokens. For account-level APIs, you must use Google IDs. See Authentication with Google ID tokens.

Account SCIM is now GA

January 31, 2023

The Account SCIM API is now generally available.

Account SCIM lets you use an identity provider (IdP) to create users in a Databricks account, give users the proper level of access, and remove access (deprovision users) when they leave your organization or no longer need access to Databricks.

You can use a SCIM provisioning connector in your IdP or invoke the SCIM APIs to manage provisioning. For more information, see Sync users and groups from your identity provider.

Easier creation and editing of Databricks jobs in the UI

January 30, 2023

The Databricks Jobs user interface now shows a view of your entire job when you add or make changes to job tasks. This unified view simplifies job creation and editing by allowing you to see the full details of your job as you make changes. See Schedule and orchestrate workflows.

Improvements to the Databricks Jobs UI when viewing job runs

January 30, 2023

The Databricks Jobs user interface now shows the job runs matrix and the job runs list in a single panel, improving your visibility into the status and details of your job runs. Previously, viewing the runs matrix or the runs list required switching between the two views. See View runs for a single job.

REST API Reference is now available for browsing API documentation

January 27, 2023

Try the new Databricks REST API Reference documentation experience in beta. The API Reference includes the latest versions of the Databricks REST API documentation.
