Output Schema
A dependency resource defined in the API hub describes a dependency directed from a consumer to a supplier entity. A dependency can be defined between two Operations
or between an Operation
and External API
.

errorDetail
|
Output only. Error details of a dependency if the system has detected it internally. |
createTime

. The attribute values associated with the resource. Value
can be only one of the following:enumValues
object (
EnumAttributeValues
)
The attribute values associated with a resource in case attribute data type is enum.
