HTTP API documentation

This API follows the common convention that the addition of a key to a json object is not considered a breaking change.

Currently available:

Query binned data

Method: GET

URL: https://data-api.psi.ch/api/4/binned

Query parameters:

Request header: "Accept" must be "application/json"

Example:

http://sf-daqbuf-21:8380/api/4/binned?channel_backend=sf-databuffer&channel_name=SLAAR-LSCP4-LAS6891:CH7:1&beg_date=2021-05-21T00:00:00.000Z&end_date=2021-05-21T02:00:00.000Z&bin_count=20

Result body example:

[

Channel Search, with return of configuration information

Method: POST

URL: https://data-api.psi.ch/api/1/channels/config

Request body: JSON with search parameters

Request body outline:

{
  "regex":             "[Optional: Regular expression to search in channel name]",
  "sourceRegex":       "[Optional: Search in sourcename of the channel]",
  "descriptionRegex":  "[Optional: Search in the channel's description]",
  "backends":          ["gls-archive", "hipa-archive", "sf-databuffer"]
}

Result body example:

Assuming that "hipa-archive" would be unavailable:

[
    {
        "backend": "sf-databuffer",
        "channels": [
            {
                "backend": "sf-databuffer",
                "description": "",
                "name": "SARES20-LSCP9:CH0:2",
                "shape": [
                    512
                ],
                "source": "tcp://SARES20-CVME-01:9999",
                "type": "Float32",
                "unit": ""
            },
            {
                "backend": "sf-databuffer",
                "description": "",
                "name": "SARES20-LSCP9:CH0:1",
                "shape": [
                    512
                ],
                "source": "tcp://SARES20-CVME-01:9999",
                "type": "Int16",
                "unit": ""
            }
        ]
    },
    {
        "backend": "hipa-archive",
        "channels": [],
        "error": {
            "code": "Error"  // can be: "Error" | "Timeout" (more to be added in the future)
        }
    }
]

Notes:

The search constraints are AND'ed together.

If some backend responds with an error, that error is indicated by the error key in the affected backend (see example above).

CURL example:

QUERY='{ "regex": "LSCP9:CH0", "backends": ["sf-databuffer"] }'
curl -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -H 'Accept: application/json' -d "$QUERY" https://data-api.psi.ch/api/1/channels/config
