RESTful Services
IoTDB’s RESTful services can be used for query, write, and management operations, using the OpenAPI standard to define interfaces and generate frameworks.
Enable RESTful Services
RESTful services are disabled by default.
- Developer
Find the IoTDBrestServiceConfig class under org.apache.iotdb.db.conf.rest in the sever module, and modify enableRestService=true.
- User
Find the conf/iotdb.rest.properties file under the IoTDB installation directory and set enable_rest_service to true to enable the module.
1. enable_rest_service=true
Authentication
Except the liveness probe API /ping, RESTful services use the basic authentication. Each URL request needs to carry 'Authorization': 'Basic ' + base64.encode(username + ':' + password).
The username used in the following examples is: root, and password is: root.
And the authorization header is
1. Authorization: Basic cm9vdDpyb2901
- If a user authorized with incorrect username or password, the following error is returned:
HTTP Status Code:401
HTTP response body:
1. {
2. "code": 600,
3. "message": "WRONG_LOGIN_PASSWORD_ERROR"
4. }
- If the Authorization header is missing,the following error is returned:
HTTP Status Code:401
HTTP response body:
1. {
2. "code": 603,
3. "message": "UNINITIALIZED_AUTH_ERROR"
4. }
Interface
ping
The /ping API can be used for service liveness probing.
Request method: GET
Request path: http://ip
open in new window:port/ping
The user name used in the example is: root, password: root
Example request:
1. $ curl http://127.0.0.1:18080/ping
Response status codes:
200: The service is alive.503: The service cannot accept any requests now.
Response parameters:
| parameter name | parameter type | parameter describe |
|---|---|---|
| code | integer | status code |
| message | string | message |
Sample response:
- With HTTP status code
200:
1. {
2. "code": 200,
3. "message": "SUCCESS_STATUS"
4. }
- With HTTP status code 503:
1. {
2. "code": 500,
3. "message": "thrift service is unavailable"
4. }
/pingcan be accessed without authorization.
query
The query interface can be used to handle data queries and metadata queries.
Request method: POST
Request header: application/json
Request path: http://ip
open in new window:port/rest/v2/query
Parameter Description:
| parameter name | parameter type | required | parameter description |
|---|---|---|---|
| sql | string | yes | |
| row_limit | integer | no | The maximum number of rows in the result set that can be returned by a query. If this parameter is not set, the rest_query_default_row_size_limit of the configuration file will be used as the default value. When the number of rows in the returned result set exceeds the limit, the status code 411 will be returned. |
Response parameters:
| parameter name | parameter type | parameter description |
|---|---|---|
| expressions | array | Array of result set column names for data query, null for metadata query |
| column_names | array | Array of column names for metadata query result set, null for data query |
| timestamps | array | Timestamp column, null for metadata query |
| values | array | A two-dimensional array, the first dimension has the same length as the result set column name array, and the second dimension array represents a column of the result set |
Examples:
Tip: Statements like select * from root.xx.** are not recommended because those statements may cause OOM.
