Get Configuration

This endpoint lets you get configuration from a store.

HTTP Request

GET http://localhost:<daprPort>/v1.0-alpha1/configuration/<storename>

URL Parameters

Query Parameters

If no query parameters are provided, all configuration items are returned. To specify the keys of the configuration items to get, use one or more key query parameters. For example:

GET http://localhost:<daprPort>/v1.0-alpha1/configuration/mystore?key=config1&key=config2

To retrieve all configuration items:

GET http://localhost:<daprPort>/v1.0-alpha1/configuration/mystore

Request Body

None

HTTP Response

Response Codes

Response Body

JSON-encoded value of key/value pairs for each configuration item.

Example

curl -X GET 'http://localhost:3500/v1.0-alpha1/configuration/mystore?key=myConfigKey'

The above command returns the following JSON:

[{"key":"myConfigKey","value":"myConfigValue"}]

Subscribe Configuration

This endpoint lets you subscribe to configuration changes. Notifications happen when values are updated or deleted in the configuration store. This enables the application to react to configuration changes.

HTTP Request

GET http://localhost:<daprPort>/v1.0-alpha1/configuration/<storename>/subscribe

URL Parameters

Query Parameters

If no query parameters are provided, all configuration items are subscribed to. To specify the keys of the configuration items to subscribe to, use one or more key query parameters. For example:

GET http://localhost:<daprPort>/v1.0-alpha1/configuration/mystore/subscribe?key=config1&key=config2

To subscribe to all changes:

GET http://localhost:<daprPort>/v1.0-alpha1/configuration/mystore/subscribe

Request Body

None

HTTP Response

Response Codes

Response Body

JSON-encoded value

Example

curl -X GET 'http://localhost:3500/v1.0-alpha1/configuration/mystore/subscribe?key=myConfigKey'

The above command returns the following JSON:

{
  "id": "<unique-id>"
}

The returned id parameter can be used to unsubscribe to the specific set of keys provided on the subscribe API call. This should be retained by the application.

Optional application (user code) routes

Provide a route for Dapr to send configuration changes

subscribing to configuration changes, Dapr invokes the application whenever a configuration item changes. Your application can have a /configuration endpoint that is called for all key updates that are subscribed to. The endpoint(s) can be made more specific for a given configuration store by adding /<store-name> and for a specific key by adding /<store-name>/<key> to the route.

HTTP Request

POST http://localhost:<appPort>/configuration/<store-name>/<key>

URL Parameters

Request Body

A list of configuration items for a given subscription id. Configuration items can have a version associated with them, which is returned in the notification.

{
    "id": "<subscription-id>",
    "items": [
        "key": "<key-of-configuration-item>",
        "value": "<new-value>",
        "version": "<version-of-item>"
    ]
}

Example

{
    "id": "bf3aa454-312d-403c-af95-6dec65058fa2",
    "items": [
        "key": "config-1",
        "value": "abcdefgh",
        "version": "1.1"
    ]
