# Adding a custom Dataset Data Platform
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
A Data Platform represents a 3rd party system from which [Metadata Entities](https://datahubproject.io/docs/metadata-modeling/metadata-model/) are ingested from. Each Dataset that is ingested is associated with a single platform, for example MySQL, Snowflake, Redshift, or BigQuery.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
There are some cases in which you may want to add a custom Data Platform identifier for a Dataset. For example,
 | 
			
		||||
you have an internal data system that is not widely available, or you're using a Data Platform that is not natively supported by DataHub.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
To do so, you can either change the default Data Platforms that are ingested into DataHub *prior to deployment time*, or ingest
 | 
			
		||||
a new Data Platform at runtime. You can use the first option if you're able to periodically merge new Data Platforms from the OSS
 | 
			
		||||
repository into your own. It will cause the custom Data Platform to be re-ingested each time you deploy DataHub, meaning that
 | 
			
		||||
your custom Data Platform will persist even between full cleans (nukes) of DataHub. 
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
## Changing Default Data Platforms
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
Simply make a change to the [data_platforms.json](https://github.com/linkedin/datahub/blob/master/metadata-service/war/src/main/resources/boot/data_platforms.json) 
 | 
			
		||||
file to add a custom Data Platform:
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
```
 | 
			
		||||
[ 
 | 
			
		||||
  .....
 | 
			
		||||
  {
 | 
			
		||||
    "urn": "urn:li:dataPlatform:MyCustomDataPlatform",
 | 
			
		||||
    "aspect": {
 | 
			
		||||
      "name": "My Custom Data Platform",
 | 
			
		||||
      "type": "OTHERS",
 | 
			
		||||
      "logoUrl": "https://<your-logo-url>"
 | 
			
		||||
    }
 | 
			
		||||
  }
 | 
			
		||||
]
 | 
			
		||||
```
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
## Ingesting Data Platform at runtime
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
You can also ingest a Data Platform at runtime using either a file-based ingestion source, or using a normal curl to the
 | 
			
		||||
[GMS Rest.li APIs](https://datahubproject.io/docs/metadata-service#restli-api). 
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
### Using File-Based Ingestion Recipe
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
**Step 1** Define a JSON file containing your custom Data Platform
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
```
 | 
			
		||||
// my-custom-data-platform.json 
 | 
			
		||||
[
 | 
			
		||||
  {
 | 
			
		||||
    "auditHeader": null,
 | 
			
		||||
    "proposedSnapshot": {
 | 
			
		||||
      "com.linkedin.pegasus2avro.metadata.snapshot.DataPlatformSnapshot": {
 | 
			
		||||
        "urn": "urn:li:dataPlatform:MyCustomDataPlatform",
 | 
			
		||||
        "aspects": [
 | 
			
		||||
          {
 | 
			
		||||
            "com.linkedin.pegasus2avro.dataplatform.DataPlatformInfo": {
 | 
			
		||||
              "datasetNameDelimiter": "/",
 | 
			
		||||
              "name": "My Custom Data Platform",
 | 
			
		||||
              "type": "OTHERS",
 | 
			
		||||
              "logoUrl": "https://<your-logo-url>"
 | 
			
		||||
            }
 | 
			
		||||
          }
 | 
			
		||||
        ]
 | 
			
		||||
      }
 | 
			
		||||
    },
 | 
			
		||||
    "proposedDelta": null
 | 
			
		||||
  }
 | 
			
		||||
]
 | 
			
		||||
```
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
**Step 2**: Define an [ingestion recipe](https://datahubproject.io/docs/metadata-ingestion/#recipes) 
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
```
 | 
			
		||||
---
 | 
			
		||||
# see https://datahubproject.io/docs/metadata-ingestion/source_docs/file for complete documentation
 | 
			
		||||
source:
 | 
			
		||||
  type: "file"
 | 
			
		||||
  config:
 | 
			
		||||
    filename: "./my-custom-data-platform.json"
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
# see https://datahubproject.io/docs/metadata-ingestion/sink_docs/datahub for complete documentation
 | 
			
		||||
sink:
 | 
			
		||||
  ... 
 | 
			
		||||
```
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
### Using Rest.li API
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
You can also issue a normal curl request to the Rest.li `/entities` API to add a custom Data Platform.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
```
 | 
			
		||||
curl 'http://localhost:8080/entities?action=ingest' -X POST --data '{
 | 
			
		||||
   "entity":{
 | 
			
		||||
      "value":{
 | 
			
		||||
         "com.linkedin.metadata.snapshot.DataPlatformSnapshot":{
 | 
			
		||||
            "aspects":[
 | 
			
		||||
               {
 | 
			
		||||
                  "com.linkedin.dataplatform.DataPlatformInfo":{
 | 
			
		||||
                      "datasetNameDelimiter": "/",
 | 
			
		||||
                      "name": "My Custom Data Platform",
 | 
			
		||||
                      "type": "OTHERS",
 | 
			
		||||
                      "logoUrl": "https://<your-logo-url>"
 | 
			
		||||
                  }
 | 
			
		||||
               }
 | 
			
		||||
            ],
 | 
			
		||||
            "urn":"urn:li:dataPlatform:MyCustomDataPlatform"
 | 
			
		||||
         }
 | 
			
		||||
      }
 | 
			
		||||
   }
 | 
			
		||||
}'
 | 
			
		||||
```
