# HTTP Interface {#http-interface}
2017-04-03 19:49:50 +00:00

The HTTP interface lets you use ClickHouse on any platform from any programming language. We use it for working from Java and Perl, as well as shell scripts. In other departments, the HTTP interface is used from Perl, Python, and Go. The HTTP interface is more limited than the native interface, but it has better compatibility.

By default, `clickhouse-server` listens for HTTP on port 8123 (this can be changed in the config).
2021-07-03 04:57:57 +00:00
If you make a `GET /` request without parameters, it returns 200 response code and the string which defined in [http_server_default_response](../operations/server-configuration-parameters/settings.md#server_configuration_parameters-http_server_default_response) default value “Ok.” (with a line feed at the end)
2020-03-20 10:10:48 +00:00
``` bash
$ curl 'http://localhost:8123/'
Ok.
```

In health-check scripts use `GET /ping` request. This handler always returns “Ok.” (with a line feed at the end). Available from version 18.12.13.
2020-03-20 10:10:48 +00:00
``` bash
$ curl 'http://localhost:8123/ping'
Ok.
```
2020-03-20 10:10:48 +00:00
Send the request as a URL query parameter, or as a POST. Or send the beginning of the query in the query parameter, and the rest in the POST (well explain later why this is necessary). The size of the URL is limited to 16 KB, so keep this in mind when sending large queries.
2017-04-03 19:49:50 +00:00
2017-04-26 16:07:48 +00:00
If successful, you receive the 200 response code and the result in the response body.
If an error occurs, you receive the 500 response code and an error description text in the response body.
2017-04-03 19:49:50 +00:00
2020-03-20 10:10:48 +00:00
When using the GET method, readonly is set. In other words, for queries that modify data, you can only use the POST method. You can send the query itself either in the POST body or in the URL parameter.

As you can see, `curl` is somewhat inconvenient in that spaces must be URL escaped.
Although `wget` escapes everything itself, we do not recommend using it because it does not work well over HTTP 1.1 when using keep-alive and Transfer-Encoding: chunked.
2017-04-03 19:49:50 +00:00
2020-03-20 10:10:48 +00:00
``` bash
$ echo 'SELECT 1' | curl 'http://localhost:8123/' --data-binary @-
1
2017-04-03 19:49:50 +00:00
$ echo 'SELECT 1' | curl 'http://localhost:8123/?query=' --data-binary @-
1
2017-04-03 19:49:50 +00:00
$ echo '1' | curl 'http://localhost:8123/?query=SELECT' --data-binary @-
1
```
2017-04-03 19:49:50 +00:00
If part of the query is sent in the parameter, and part in the POST, a line feed is inserted between these two data parts.
2020-03-20 10:10:48 +00:00
Example (this wont work):
2017-04-03 19:49:50 +00:00
2020-03-20 10:10:48 +00:00
``` bash
$ echo 'ECT 1' | curl 'http://localhost:8123/?query=SEL' --data-binary @-
Code: 59, e.displayText() = DB::Exception: Syntax error: failed at position 0: SEL
ECT 1
, expected One of: SHOW TABLES, SHOW DATABASES, SELECT, INSERT, CREATE, ATTACH, RENAME, DROP, DETACH, USE, SET, OPTIMIZE., e.what() = DB::Exception
```
2017-04-03 19:49:50 +00:00
2021-07-03 04:57:57 +00:00
By default, data is returned in [TabSeparated](formats.md#tabseparated) format.
2017-04-26 16:07:48 +00:00
You use the FORMAT clause of the query to request any other format.
2017-04-03 19:49:50 +00:00
Also, you can use the default_format URL parameter or the X-ClickHouse-Format header to specify a default format other than TabSeparated.
2020-03-20 10:10:48 +00:00
``` bash
$ echo 'SELECT 1 FORMAT Pretty' | curl 'http://localhost:8123/?' --data-binary @-

The POST method of transmitting data is necessary for `INSERT` queries. In this case, you can write the beginning of the query in the URL parameter, and use POST to pass the data to insert. The data to insert could be, for example, a tab-separated dump from MySQL. In this way, the `INSERT` query replaces `LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE` from MySQL.

For successful requests that do not return a data table, an empty response body is returned.
2017-04-03 19:49:50 +00:00
## Compression {#compression}
2017-04-03 19:49:50 +00:00
You can use compression to reduce network traffic when transmitting a large amount of data or for creating dumps that are immediately compressed.
You can use the internal ClickHouse compression format when transmitting data. The compressed data has a non-standard format, and you need `clickhouse-compressor` program to work with it. It is installed with the `clickhouse-client` package. To increase the efficiency of data insertion, you can disable server-side checksum verification by using the [http_native_compression_disable_checksumming_on_decompress](../operations/settings/settings.md#settings-http_native_compression_disable_checksumming_on_decompress) setting.
2017-04-03 19:49:50 +00:00
2021-02-23 12:23:26 +00:00
If you specify `compress=1` in the URL, the server will compress the data it sends to you. If you specify `decompress=1` in the URL, the server will decompress the data which you pass in the `POST` method.
You can also choose to use [HTTP compression](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_compression). ClickHouse supports the following [compression methods](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_compression#Content-Encoding_tokens):
- `gzip`
- `br`
- `deflate`
- `xz`
2021-02-23 12:23:26 +00:00
To send a compressed `POST` request, append the request header `Content-Encoding: compression_method`.
In order for ClickHouse to compress the response, enable compression with [enable_http_compression](../operations/settings/settings.md#settings-enable_http_compression) setting and append `Accept-Encoding: compression_method` header to the request. You can configure the data compression level in the [http_zlib_compression_level](../operations/settings/settings.md#settings-http_zlib_compression_level) setting for all compression methods.
!!! note "Note"
Some HTTP clients might decompress data from the server by default (with `gzip` and `deflate`) and you might get decompressed data even if you use the compression settings correctly.
**Examples**
2020-03-20 10:10:48 +00:00
``` bash
2021-02-23 12:23:26 +00:00
# Sending compressed data to the server
$ echo "SELECT 1" | gzip -c | \
curl -sS --data-binary @- -H 'Content-Encoding: gzip' 'http://localhost:8123/'
```
``` bash
2021-02-23 12:23:26 +00:00
# Receiving compressed data from the server
$ curl -vsS "http://localhost:8123/?enable_http_compression=1" \
-H 'Accept-Encoding: gzip' --output result.gz -d 'SELECT number FROM system.numbers LIMIT 3'
$ zcat result.gz

2
```
2021-02-13 20:26:56 +00:00
## Default Database {#default-database}
You can use the database URL parameter or the X-ClickHouse-Database header to specify the default database.
2017-04-03 19:49:50 +00:00
2020-03-20 10:10:48 +00:00
``` bash
$ echo 'SELECT number FROM numbers LIMIT 10' | curl 'http://localhost:8123/?database=system' --data-binary @-
0

9
```
2017-04-03 19:49:50 +00:00
2020-03-20 10:10:48 +00:00
By default, the database that is registered in the server settings is used as the default database. By default, this is the database called default. Alternatively, you can always specify the database using a dot before the table name.
2017-04-03 19:49:50 +00:00
The username and password can be indicated in one of three ways:
2017-04-03 19:49:50 +00:00

``` bash
$ echo 'SELECT 1' | curl -H 'X-ClickHouse-User: user' -H 'X-ClickHouse-Key: password' 'http://localhost:8123/' -d @-
```
If the user name is not specified, the `default` name is used. If the password is not specified, the empty password is used.
2020-10-13 17:23:29 +00:00
You can also use the URL parameters to specify any settings for processing a single query or entire profiles of settings. Example:http://localhost:8123/?profile=web&max_rows_to_read=1000000000&query=SELECT+1
2017-04-03 19:49:50 +00:00

2017-04-03 19:49:50 +00:00
2018-04-23 06:20:21 +00:00
Similarly, you can use ClickHouse sessions in the HTTP protocol. To do this, you need to add the `session_id` GET parameter to the request. You can use any string as the session ID. By default, the session is terminated after 60 seconds of inactivity. To change this timeout, modify the `default_session_timeout` setting in the server configuration, or add the `session_timeout` GET parameter to the request. To check the session status, use the `session_check=1` parameter. Only one query at a time can be executed within a single session.
2020-10-13 17:23:29 +00:00
You can receive information about the progress of a query in `X-ClickHouse-Progress` response headers. To do this, enable [send_progress_in_http_headers](../operations/settings/settings.md#settings-send_progress_in_http_headers). Example of the header sequence:
2020-03-20 10:10:48 +00:00
``` text
2019-06-14 11:09:25 +00:00
X-ClickHouse-Progress: {"read_rows":"2752512","read_bytes":"240570816","total_rows_to_read":"8880128"}
X-ClickHouse-Progress: {"read_rows":"5439488","read_bytes":"482285394","total_rows_to_read":"8880128"}
X-ClickHouse-Progress: {"read_rows":"8783786","read_bytes":"819092887","total_rows_to_read":"8880128"}
```
Possible header fields:
2019-06-14 11:09:25 +00:00
- `read_rows` — Number of rows read.
- `read_bytes` — Volume of data read in bytes.
- `total_rows_to_read` — Total number of rows to be read.
- `written_rows` — Number of rows written.
- `written_bytes` — Volume of data written in bytes.
2021-05-27 19:44:11 +00:00
Running requests do not stop automatically if the HTTP connection is lost. Parsing and data formatting are performed on the server-side, and using the network might be ineffective.
2020-10-13 17:23:29 +00:00
The optional query_id parameter can be passed as the query ID (any string). For more information, see the section “Settings, replace_running_query”.
2017-04-03 19:49:50 +00:00
2020-10-13 17:23:29 +00:00
The optional quota_key parameter can be passed as the quota key (any string). For more information, see the section “Quotas”.
2017-04-03 19:49:50 +00:00
2020-03-20 10:10:48 +00:00
The HTTP interface allows passing external data (external temporary tables) for querying. For more information, see the section “External data for query processing”.
2020-03-20 10:10:48 +00:00
## Response Buffering {#response-buffering}
2020-03-19 08:31:06 +00:00
You can enable response buffering on the server-side. The `buffer_size` and `wait_end_of_query` URL parameters are provided for this purpose.
2020-03-19 08:31:06 +00:00
`buffer_size` determines the number of bytes in the result to buffer in the server memory. If a result body is larger than this threshold, the buffer is written to the HTTP channel, and the remaining data is sent directly to the HTTP channel.
To ensure that the entire response is buffered, set `wait_end_of_query=1`. In this case, the data that is not stored in memory will be buffered in a temporary server file.
Example:
2020-03-20 10:10:48 +00:00
``` bash

$ curl -sS 'http://localhost:8123/?max_result_bytes=4000000&buffer_size=3000000&wait_end_of_query=1' -d 'SELECT toUInt8(number) FROM system.numbers LIMIT 9000000 FORMAT RowBinary'
```
2020-03-19 08:31:06 +00:00
Use buffering to avoid situations where a query processing error occurred after the response code and HTTP headers were sent to the client. In this situation, an error message is written at the end of the response body, and on the client-side, the error can only be detected at the parsing stage.
2018-04-23 06:20:21 +00:00
2020-03-18 18:43:51 +00:00
### Queries with Parameters {#cli-queries-with-parameters}
You can create a query with parameters and pass values for them from the corresponding HTTP request parameters. For more information, see [Queries with Parameters for CLI](../interfaces/cli.md#cli-queries-with-parameters).
2020-03-20 10:10:48 +00:00

$ curl -sS "<address>?param_id=2&param_phrase=test" -d "SELECT * FROM table WHERE int_column = {id:UInt8} and string_column = {phrase:String}"
```
## Predefined HTTP Interface {#predefined_http_interface}
ClickHouse supports specific queries through the HTTP interface. For example, you can write data to a table as follows:
``` bash
$ echo '(4),(5),(6)' | curl 'http://localhost:8123/?query=INSERT%20INTO%20t%20VALUES' --data-binary @-
```
ClickHouse also supports Predefined HTTP Interface which can help you more easily integrate with third-party tools like [Prometheus exporter](https://github.com/percona-lab/clickhouse_exporter).
Example:
- First of all, add this section to server configuration file:
<!-- -->
``` xml
<http_handlers>
2020-04-29 04:39:22 +00:00
<rule>
2020-04-29 10:44:45 +00:00
<url>/predefined_query</url>
2020-04-29 04:39:22 +00:00
<methods>POST,GET</methods>
<handler>
2020-04-29 10:44:45 +00:00
<type>predefined_query_handler</type>
<query>SELECT * FROM system.metrics LIMIT 5 FORMAT Template SETTINGS format_template_resultset = 'prometheus_template_output_format_resultset', format_template_row = 'prometheus_template_output_format_row', format_template_rows_between_delimiter = '\n'</query>
2020-04-29 04:39:22 +00:00
</handler>
</rule>
<rule>...</rule>
<rule>...</rule>
</http_handlers>
```
- You can now request the URL directly for data in the Prometheus format:
<!-- -->
``` bash
2020-04-29 10:44:45 +00:00
$ curl -v 'http://localhost:8123/predefined_query'
* Trying ::1...
* Connected to localhost (::1) port 8123 (#0)

As you can see from the example if `http_handlers` is configured in the config.xml file and `http_handlers` can contain many `rules`. ClickHouse will match the HTTP requests received to the predefined type in `rule` and the first matched runs the handler. Then ClickHouse will execute the corresponding predefined query if the match is successful.
Now `rule` can configure `method`, `headers`, `url`, `handler`:
- `method` is responsible for matching the method part of the HTTP request. `method` fully conforms to the definition of [method](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Methods) in the HTTP protocol. It is an optional configuration. If it is not defined in the configuration file, it does not match the method portion of the HTTP request.
- `url` is responsible for matching the URL part of the HTTP request. It is compatible with [RE2](https://github.com/google/re2)s regular expressions. It is an optional configuration. If it is not defined in the configuration file, it does not match the URL portion of the HTTP request.
- `headers` are responsible for matching the header part of the HTTP request. It is compatible with RE2s regular expressions. It is an optional configuration. If it is not defined in the configuration file, it does not match the header portion of the HTTP request.
- `handler` contains the main processing part. Now `handler` can configure `type`, `status`, `content_type`, `response_content`, `query`, `query_param_name`.
2020-10-13 17:23:29 +00:00
`type` currently supports three types: [predefined_query_handler](#predefined_query_handler), [dynamic_query_handler](#dynamic_query_handler), [static](#static).
- `query` — use with `predefined_query_handler` type, executes query when the handler is called.
- `query_param_name` — use with `dynamic_query_handler` type, extracts and executes the value corresponding to the `query_param_name` value in HTTP request params.
- `status` — use with `static` type, response status code.
- `content_type` — use with `static` type, response [content-type](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/Content-Type).
- `response_content` — use with `static` type, response content sent to client, when using the prefix file:// or config://, find the content from the file or configuration sends to client.
Next are the configuration methods for different `type`.
2020-10-13 17:23:29 +00:00
### predefined_query_handler {#predefined_query_handler}
`predefined_query_handler` supports setting `Settings` and `query_params` values. You can configure `query` in the type of `predefined_query_handler`.
`query` value is a predefined query of `predefined_query_handler`, which is executed by ClickHouse when an HTTP request is matched and the result of the query is returned. It is a must configuration.
2020-10-13 17:23:29 +00:00
The following example defines the values of [max_threads](../operations/settings/settings.md#settings-max_threads) and `max_alter_threads` settings, then queries the system table to check whether these settings were set successfully.
Example:
``` xml
<http_handlers>
<rule>
<url><![CDATA[/query_param_with_url/\w+/(?P<name_1>[^/]+)(/(?P<name_2>[^/]+))?]]></url>
<method>GET</method>
<headers>
<XXX>TEST_HEADER_VALUE</XXX>
<PARAMS_XXX><![CDATA[(?P<name_1>[^/]+)(/(?P<name_2>[^/]+))?]]></PARAMS_XXX>
</headers>
<handler>
2020-04-29 10:44:45 +00:00
<type>predefined_query_handler</type>
<query>SELECT value FROM system.settings WHERE name = {name_1:String}</query>
<query>SELECT name, value FROM system.settings WHERE name = {name_2:String}</query>
</handler>
</rule>
</http_handlers>
```
``` bash
2020-04-29 04:39:22 +00:00
$ curl -H 'XXX:TEST_HEADER_VALUE' -H 'PARAMS_XXX:max_threads' 'http://localhost:8123/query_param_with_url/1/max_threads/max_alter_threads?max_threads=1&max_alter_threads=2'
1
max_alter_threads 2
```
2020-04-29 04:39:22 +00:00
!!! note "caution"
In one `predefined_query_handler` only supports one `query` of an insert type.
2020-04-29 04:39:22 +00:00
2020-10-13 17:23:29 +00:00
### dynamic_query_handler {#dynamic_query_handler}
In `dynamic_query_handler`, the query is written in the form of param of the HTTP request. The difference is that in `predefined_query_handler`, the query is written in the configuration file. You can configure `query_param_name` in `dynamic_query_handler`.
2020-04-29 04:39:22 +00:00
ClickHouse extracts and executes the value corresponding to the `query_param_name` value in the URL of the HTTP request. The default value of `query_param_name` is `/query` . It is an optional configuration. If there is no definition in the configuration file, the param is not passed in.
2020-04-29 04:39:22 +00:00
2020-10-13 17:23:29 +00:00
To experiment with this functionality, the example defines the values of [max_threads](../operations/settings/settings.md#settings-max_threads) and `max_alter_threads` and `queries` whether the settings were set successfully.
Example:
``` xml
<http_handlers>
<rule>
<headers>
2020-04-29 04:39:22 +00:00
<XXX>TEST_HEADER_VALUE_DYNAMIC</XXX> </headers>
<handler>
<type>dynamic_query_handler</type>
<query_param_name>query_param</query_param_name>
</handler>
</rule>
</http_handlers>
```
``` bash
2020-04-29 04:39:22 +00:00
$ curl -H 'XXX:TEST_HEADER_VALUE_DYNAMIC' 'http://localhost:8123/own?max_threads=1&max_alter_threads=2&param_name_1=max_threads&param_name_2=max_alter_threads&query_param=SELECT%20name,value%20FROM%20system.settings%20where%20name%20=%20%7Bname_1:String%7D%20OR%20name%20=%20%7Bname_2:String%7D'
max_threads 1
max_alter_threads 2
2020-04-29 04:39:22 +00:00
```
### static {#static}
2020-10-13 17:23:29 +00:00
`static` can return [content_type](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/Content-Type), [status](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Status) and `response_content`. `response_content` can return the specified content.
Example:
2020-04-29 04:39:22 +00:00
Return a message.
``` xml
2020-04-29 04:39:22 +00:00
<http_handlers>
<rule>
<methods>GET</methods>
<headers><XXX>xxx</XXX></headers>
<url>/hi</url>
<handler>
<type>static</type>
<status>402</status>
<content_type>text/html; charset=UTF-8</content_type>
<response_content>Say Hi!</response_content>
</handler>
</rule>
2021-06-30 12:44:30 +00:00
</http_handlers>
