HTTP Interface for Databases
|
|
============================
|
|
|
|
Address of a Database
|
|
---------------------
|
|
|
|
Any operation triggered via ArangoDB's HTTP REST API is executed in the context of exactly
|
|
one database. To explicitly specify the database in a request, the request URI must contain
|
|
the [database name](../appendix-glossary.html#database-name) in front of the actual path:
|
|
|
|
http://localhost:8529/_db/mydb/...
|
|
|
|
where *...* is the actual path to the accessed resource. In the example, the resource will be
|
|
accessed in the context of the database *mydb*. Actual URLs in the context of *mydb* could look
|
|
like this:
|
|
|
|
http://localhost:8529/_db/mydb/_api/version
|
|
http://localhost:8529/_db/mydb/_api/document/test/12345
|
|
http://localhost:8529/_db/mydb/myapp/get
|
