Define once. Use anywhere.

With the Steep API, teams can access the metrics and semantic model defined in Steep and use them anywhere, while governance remains centralized. Complete consistency without the lock-in.

Unlock a whole new set of automation and integration use cases for analytics teams, whether you’re driving internal workflows, notebooks, or powering AI experiences with your metrics.

API for metadata and queries

This release focuses on the semantic model metadata and metric queries, providing the core building blocks for secure, read-only access to Steep’s semantic layer from other systems.

What’s included:

  • Metadata endpoints to list metrics, entities, modules, members, and teams.
  • Metric query endpoint that uses Steep’s query engine to compute and deliver aggregated metric data.

What this unlocks

Steep’s API opens up new possibilities for your analytics, without re-implementing definitions or logic.

  • Build anywhere: Bring Steep’s metrics into your internal tools, notebooks or other systems.
  • Introduce metrics to AI: Power LLMs, agents, and custom AI use cases with your trusted, governed metrics.
  • Get creative: Build custom use cases built on top of Steep’s semantic model.
