Hi,

Is there a Java API similar to Python to access DVC?

No, DVC is written in Python, so its programmatic API is only available in Python.

Thank you. Are there any services(REST) exposed to access DVC?

No, dvc doesn’t implement that. Creating a simple server that wraps either the Python API or the CLI should be quite straightforward, though. What are you trying to do?
