This is still a work in progress. I will publish what we have shortly on the
Atlas Wiki - it still needs some love but is a step up from the generated API
doc: http://atlas.incubator.apache.org/api/rest.html. In the mean time, see

and all focus is on the rest API (or the bridge plugin mechanism).
Is that fair?
The challenge (at least for me) is there is no detail documentation of REST
API, e.g. I still can’t create new entities through REST API so has to code in

will try to add more documentation.
Let me clarify about the APIs.
There are 2 parts to Atlas,
1. Data Models aka Types that are expressed using the flexible type system
API
The type and entity (typed instances) are
