-The __metadata__ endpoints allow users to retrieve metadata from the data portal using the various `GET` endpoints that are slightly different than the __find__ endpoints, but some can be used similarily. As with the __find__ endpoints, parameters for the __metadata__ endpoints that do not have a red `* required` next to them are optional.
