Workflow API overview

NebulaGraph Explorer provides some APIs for using workflow.

The supported APIs are as follows:

Request method

Users can use curl to call APIs to achieve corresponding functions.

The format is as follows:

curl <options> http://<explorer_address>:<explorer_port>/<api_path>?{<body>}
  • <options>: Curl supports a large number of options. The most commonly used options for workflow are -X, -H and -d. For more information about options, see curl official documentation.
  • <explorer_address>: The access address of the NebulaGraph Explorer.
  • <explorer_port>: The access port of the NebulaGraph Explorer.
  • <api_path>: The call path of APIs. For example: api-open/v1/jobs.
  • <body>: The body parameters that needs to be supplied when calling APIs.

Get authorization token

Token information verification is required when calling an API. Run the following command to get the authorization token.

curl -i -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "Authorization: Bearer <account_base64_encode>" -d '{"address":"<nebula_address>","port":<nebula_port>}' http://<explorer_address>:<explorer_port>/api-open/v1/connect
  • <account_base64_encode>: The Base64 encoded NebulaGraph account and password. Before the encoding, the format is <account>:<password>, for example, root:123. After the encoding, the result is cm9vdDoxMjM=.
  • <nebula_address>: The access address of the NebulaGraph.
  • <nebula_port>: The access port of the NebulaGraph.
  • <explorer_address>: The access address of the NebulaGraph Explorer.
  • <explorer_port>: The access port of the NebulaGraph Explorer.

Example:

curl -i -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "Authorization: Bearer cm9vdDoxMjM=" -d '{"address":"192.168.8.111","port":9669}' http://192.168.8.145:7002/api-open/v1/connect
