TiCDC API Overview

TiCDC is a tool used to replicate incremental data from TiDB. Specifically, TiCDC pulls TiKV change logs, sorts captured data, and exports row-based incremental data to downstream databases.

TiCDC provides the following two versions of APIs for querying and operating the TiCDC cluster:

• TiCDC OpenAPI v1
• TiCDC OpenAPI v2

Note:

TiCDC OpenAPI v1 will be removed in the future. It is recommended to use TiCDC OpenAPI v2.

For more information about each API, including request parameters, response examples, and usage instructions, see TiCDC OpenAPI v1 and TiCDC OpenAPI v2.
