API Introduction

As discussed in Data Structures, Curiefense's data is stored within:

• Configurations

• Documents

• Entries

• Blobs

A Configuration is a set of Blobs and Documents. A Document is a set of Entries.

All of these data structures can be edited via API:

• A Document is a file treated as a JSON list of entries.

• An entry is a JSON dictionary with an id field. The id field value must be unique inside the document, and must be a valid part of an URL.

• A Blob is a file treated as binary data.

Versioning

Each time a Configuration is modified and published, a new version is created. A Configuration can be reverted back to a previous version at any time.

Operations

The following types of operations are accessed as follows.

API endpoint namespaces (more info)

• configs (for manipulating Configurations)

• tools (for publishing, etc.)

cURL and Curiefense CLI tool (more info)

• blob (for manipulating blobs)

• conf (for manipulating Configurations)

• db (for manipulating persistent memory database)

• doc (for manipulating Documents)

• key (for manipulating keys inside the database)

• sync (to maintain synchronization, e.g. the configuration API server and cloud storage)
