Labels endpoint
Data usage labels allow you to categorize data according to usage policies that may apply to that data. The /labels endpoint in the Policy Service API allows you to programmatically manage data usage labels within your experience application.
/labels endpoint is only used to retrieve, create, and update data usage labels. You cannot delete labels. However, you can add or remove labels to datasets and fields using API calls. Refer to the guide on managing dataset labels document for instructions.Getting started
The API endpoint used in this guide is part of the Policy Service API. Before continuing, please review the getting started guide for links to related documentation, a guide to reading the sample API calls in this document, and important information regarding required headers that are needed to successfully make calls to any Experience Platform API.
