title: Can I use the Watson Data API with the Cloud Pak for Data Lite plan?
body: <p>I've created a Cloud Pak for Data Lite account (free version) and added a few assets to a catalog. I wanted to try accessing the metadata of those assets using an API. I thought that I could use the Watson Data API for this, but it doesn't seem to be working. For example, the following request in Postman returns a 404 error:</p>
  <pre><code>GET https://dataplatform.cloud.ibm.com/v2/assets/{asset-id}?catalog_id={catalog-id}
  
  Authorization: Bearer {access-token}
  </code></pre>
  <p>I successfully created the api key at <a href="https://cloud.ibm.com/iam/overview" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://cloud.ibm.com/iam/overview</a>, used a request to <a href="https://iam.ng.bluemix.net/identity/token" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://iam.ng.bluemix.net/identity/token</a> to get the {access-token}, and I found the {asset-id} and {catalog-id} from the asset's Cloud Pak URL on the <a href="https://dataplatform.cloud.ibm.com/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://dataplatform.cloud.ibm.com/</a>.</p>
  <p>I found this Medium article <a href="https://medium.com/@vrvignesh/manage-and-automate-assets-of-cloud-pak-for-data-2-5-using-collect-and-organize-rest-apis-part-1-6b1b07d252e1" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://medium.com/@vrvignesh/manage-and-automate-assets-of-cloud-pak-for-data-2-5-using-collect-and-organize-rest-apis-part-1-6b1b07d252e1</a> which states that I need to have Watson™ Knowledge Catalog and Watson studio setup. Unfortunately, it seems that I can't setup Watson™ Knowledge Catalog on the lite-plan when I already am using Cloud Pak for Data on the lite-plan. Except that I thought Cloud Pak uses the Watson Knowledge Catalog internally, so maybe it already is setup? I'm confused.</p>
  <p>I'm new to the IBM Cloud, so I'm probably missing something simple here.</p>
  <p>My main question is whether it's possible to request the metadata of assets in Cloud Pak for Data using an API on the Lite plan.</p>
