Axibase Time Series Database

command

Description

Accepts commands in Network API syntax over HTTP.

Supported Network API commands:

The method returns a JSON object containing the counters of failed, successful, and total commands.

Authorization

  • API_DATA_WRITE role is required to send series, property, and message commands.
  • API_META_WRITE role is required to send metric and entity commands.

In addition, the user must have write permissions for the entity specified in the commands.

Multiple Commands

Multiple commands, separated by a line feed character, can be submitted in one request in which case the commands are parsed, validated and processed sequentially.

In case of syntax errors or an out-of-range date in one of commands, the invalid command is discarded and processing continues.

The processing behavior is different from the Data Entry page, which stops processing on the first invalid command.
