Direct Data

The Direct Data API provides high-speed read-only data access to Vault. The following endpoints allow you to retrieve available Direct Data files and download them. Learn more about the Direct Data API.

Note

Direct Data API is not enabled by default. You must contact Veeva Support to enable it in your Vault. Veeva EDC supports Study File Format instead of Direct Data API. For more information, see the Clinical Data Veeva Developer Portal.

To use the Direct Data API endpoints, your Vault integration user’s security profile and permission set must grant the following permissions:

• Application: API: Access API
• Application: API: Direct Data or Application: API: All API
• Application: All Object Records: All Object Record Read
• Application: Workflow: Query
• Admin: Logs: System Audit
• Admin: Logs: Login Audit
• Admin: Logs: Object Record Audit

Additionally, if your Vault uses documents, your Vault integration user’s security profile and permission set must also grant the following permissions:

• Application: All Documents: All Document Read
• Admin: Logs: Document Audit
