## 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.

  ```properties
  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:
    ```json
    {
      "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:
    ```json
    {
      "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: 

```shell
$ 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`:

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

- With HTTP status code `503`:

  ```json
  {
    "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      |                                                              |
| row_limit      | integer        | no       | The maximum number of rows in the result set that can be returned by a query. <br />If this parameter is not set, the `rest_query_default_row_size_limit` of the configuration file will be used as the default value. <br /> 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.

**Expression query**

```shell

### Configuration

The configuration is located in 'iotdb-rest.properties'.



* Set 'enable_rest_service' to 'true' to enable the module, and 'false' to disable the module. By default, this value is' false '.

```properties
enable_rest_service=true
```

* This parameter is valid only when 'enable_REST_service =true'. Set 'rest_service_port' to a number (1025 to 65535) to customize the REST service socket port. By default, the value is 18080.

```properties
rest_service_port=18080
```

* Set 'enable_swagger' to 'true' to display rest service interface information through swagger, and 'false' to do not display the rest service interface information through the swagger. By default, this value is' false '.

```properties
enable_swagger=false
```

* The maximum number of rows in the result set that can be returned by a query. When the number of rows in the returned result set exceeds the limit, the status code `411` is returned.

````properties
