Dataplex Lineage Costs

[lmantilla]

Hello everyone, I would like to understand the costs of the Dataplex API... If I access the Dataplex graphical interface, does it generate a call to the API when querying the lineage or when it generates the calls?

Hi @Imantilla,

Welcome to the Google Cloud Community!

Yes, when you use the Dataplex UI to explore an asset’s lineage, the interface acts as a client that sends requests to the underlying Data Lineage API. It uses methods such as ‘dataLineage.searchLinks’, ‘dataLineage.listProcessLinks’, and ‘dataLineage.getProcess’ to retrieve the lineage graph data.

For additional details, you may refer to the following documentation: the Dataplex Lineage Billing Impact guide, which outlines how lineage activities may affect costs, and the Google Cloud Dataplex Pricing page, which provides the most accurate and up-to-date pricing information, including regional variations and ongoing updates.
