RESTful Services

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.properties file under the IoTDB installation directory and set enable_rest_service to true to enable the module.
```
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

Authorization: Basic cm9vdDpyb2901

If a user authorized with incorrect username or password, the following error is returned:

HTTP Status Code：401

HTTP response body:
```
{
  "code": 600,
  "message": "WRONG_LOGIN_PASSWORD_ERROR"
}
```
If the Authorization header is missing，the following error is returned:

HTTP Status Code：401

HTTP response body:
```
{
  "code": 603,
  "message": "UNINITIALIZED_AUTH_ERROR"
}
```

Interface

ping

The /ping API can be used for service liveness probing.

Request method: GET

Request path: http://ip:port/ping

The user name used in the example is: root, password: root

Example request:

$ 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:

{
  "code": 200,
  "message": "SUCCESS_STATUS"
}

With HTTP status code 503:

{
  "code": 500,
  "message": "thrift service is unavailable"
}

/ping can 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:port/rest/v1/query

Parameter Description:

parameter name	parameter type	required	parameter description
sql	string	yes
rowLimit	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
columnNames	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.
