    Hi,

    I was looking at an old documentation about REST API, and I was ready to play with the following APIs:

    POST /datasources/import_metadata

    GET /datasources/{datasourceid}/connections/{connectionid}/signons/{signonid}/schemas

    It was listed in here:
    https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/cognos-analytics/11.1.x?topic=api-rest-reference

    It is not listed anymore on:
    https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/cognos-analytics/12.0.x?topic=api-rest-reference

    or 
    https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/cognos-analytics/12.1.0?topic=api-rest-reference


    I don't see them anymore in :
    Cognos Analytics API Test Page (http://localhost:9300/api/api-docs/#/)

    I've seen that some APIs calls are listed as deprecated in https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/cognos-analytics/11.2.x?topic=SSEP7J_11.2.0/com.ibm.swg.ba.cognos.ca_api.doc/swagger_ca.json  for POST /extensions/file for example).


    However, it is listed in:

    Cognos Analytics 12.1.x - IBM API Hub - IBM Developer

    Question: where is the official Cognos Analytics REST API that you can trust?

    Best regards,
