# RestAPI V1

IoTDB's RESTful service can be used for querying, writing, and management operations. It uses the OpenAPI standard to define interfaces and generate frameworks.

## 1. Enabling RESTful Service

The RESTful service is disabled by default. To enable it, locate the `conf/iotdb-system.properties` file in the IoTDB installation directory, set `enable_rest_service` to `true`, and then restart the datanode process.

```Properties
enable_rest_service=true
```

## 2. Authentication

Except for the health check endpoint `/ping`, the RESTful service uses basic authentication. Each URL request must include the header `'Authorization':'Basic' + base64.encode(username + ':' + password)`.

In the example, the username is `root` and the password is `root`. The corresponding Basic authentication header format is:

```Properties
Authorization : Basic cm9vdDpyb290
```

- If the username or password authentication fails, the following information is returned:

    - HTTP status code: 801

    - Response body:

      ```JSON
      {"code":801,"message":"WRONG_LOGIN_PASSWORD"}
      ```

- If the `Authorization` header is not set, the following information is returned:

    - HTTP status code: 800

    - Response body:

      ```JSON
      {"code":800,"message":"INIT_AUTH_ERROR"}
      ```

## 3. Interface Definitions

### 3.1 Ping

The `/ping` endpoint can be used for online service health checks.

- Request Method: GET

- Request Path: `http://ip:port/ping`

- Example Request:

  ```Bash
    curl http://127.0.0.1:18080/ping
  ```

- HTTP Status Codes:

    - `200`: The service is working normally and can accept external requests.

    - `503`: The service is experiencing issues and cannot accept external requests.

  | Parameter Name | Type    | Description      |
          | :------------- | :------ | :--------------- |
      | code           | integer | Status Code      |
      | message        | string  | Code Information |

- Response Example:

    - When the HTTP status code is `200`:

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

    - When the HTTP status code is `503`:

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

**Note**: The `/ping` endpoint does not require authentication.
