# Metricator's API
This page describes Metricator's API.
## URL forming
API URLs are formed like: `/api/vX/TYPE/OTHER_DATA`, where:
* `vX` is a version (e.g. `v1`).
* `TYPE` - request type (see below).
* `OTHER_DATA` - other data that is needed to properly process request of `TYPE`.
## Versions
Metricator's API currently supports API version 1.
## Handlers
### Get Metricator's build info
**URL**: `/api/vX/info`
Returns a JSON with build info with following items:
* `Branch` for git branch.
* `Build` for commit **number**.
* `CommitHash` for git commit hash.
* `Version` for tagged (or not tagged) build.
Caveats:
1. `Version` contains string formed with [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/spec/v2.0.0.html) in mind, so there is either "X.Y.Z" for tagged release or "X.Y.Z-dev` for development (built not from tag) release.
Example:
```json
{"Branch":"master","Build":"24","CommitHash":"095e24a2b0b908d790153a4ed0bee51d9dba7685","Version":"0.1.0-dev"}
```
### Get registered applications list
**URL**: `/api/vX/apps_list`
Returns a JSON with all known applications.
Example:
```json
["app1", "app2", "gw1", "gw2"]
```
### Get all known metrics for application
**URL**: `/api/vX/metrics/APP_NAME`
Where:
* `APP_NAME` is a name of registered application.
Example:
```json
[
{
"Name":"dnsdist_frontend_tcpgaveup/frontend:127.0.0.1:53/proto:TCP/thread:0",
"Description":"Amount of TCP connections terminated after too many attempts to get a connection to the backend",

"Params":null,
}
]
```
### Get single metric data
**URL**: `/api/vX/metrics/APP_NAME/METRIC_NAME`
Where:
* `APP_NAME` is a name of registered application.
* `METRIC_NAME` is a name of metric exposed by this application.
