HTTP API queries

Overview

HTTP API queries are made using JSON over HTTPS (referred to here as HTTP requests). These API calls can be made with a variety of tools and programming languages. Using the API provides programmatic access to Coralogix's data archive, allowing users to automate queries, integrate with other systems, and perform large-scale or time-sensitive operations that would be less efficient or impractical through the UI.

Requirements

All requests must use HTTPS. Calls made over plain HTTP will fail.

To use this API you need to create a personal or team API key. It’s recommended to use permission presets, as they are automatically updated with all relevant permissions. Alternatively, you can manually add individual permissions.

Any request that lacks proper authentication will be rejected. To authenticate, add an Authorization Bearer <cx_api_key> header to your API request. It contains a Bearer Token, which identifies a single user, bot user, or workspace-application relationship for authentication.

Use the DataPrime endpoint that matches your Coralogix domain.

Request payload body

When submitting data to a resource via POST, you must submit your payload in JSON. The only required field in the API body is query. All other fields are optional and form the metadata object.

Note

Background queries require more fields than just query. See background queries below.

The following example consists of a JSON object that represents the request:

{
  "query": "source logs | limit 100",
  "metadata": {                              // metadata object is optional
    "tier": "TIER_FREQUENT_SEARCH",          // TIER_ARCHIVE for long term storage
    "syntax": "QUERY_SYNTAX_DATAPRIME",      // QUERY_SYNTAX_LUCENE for Lucene queries
    "startDate": "2023-05-29T11:20:00.00Z",  // UTC
    "endDate": "2023-05-29T11:30:00.00Z",    // UTC
    "defaultSource": "logs"
  }
}

Note

If the time zone of your timestamp differs, convert it to UTC or offset the timestamp to your time zone by navigating to Account settings > Preferences > Change your time zone settings. For example, to start the query at 11:20 local time:
In San Francisco (Pacific Daylight Time): 2023-05-29T11:20:00.00-07:00
In India (India Standard Time): 2023-05-29T11:20:00.00+05:30

Note

When querying archived logs using the API, you must explicitly specify "tier": "TIER_ARCHIVE" in the metadata object of your request. Otherwise, the default is "tier": "TIER_FREQUENT_SEARCH".

Direct API query

https://api./api/v1/dataprime/query

Warning

ng-api-http. is deprecated and should not be used

{
  "query": "source logs | limit 10"
}

Make the API call

curl --location 'https://api./api/v1/dataprime/query' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--header 'Authorization: Bearer <cx_api_key>' \
--data '{
    "query": "source logs | limit 10"
}'

Note

When working with curl or similar command-line tools to make JSON over HTTP API requests, it's important to understand how your shell (typically Bash) processes quotes inside command arguments. This becomes especially relevant when your request payload includes JSON — and even more so when the JSON contains both single and double quotes. Find out more here.

Background queries HTTP API overview

The Background Queries JSON over HTTP API enables you to run high-latency, long-running queries asynchronously using DataPrime or Lucene syntax from scripts or the CLI. Designed for recurring, extensive analytical tasks—such as monthly or quarterly reports—this API allows you to offload complex queries to run in the background, freeing you to continue real-time monitoring within the Coralogix platform.

Use it to:

  • Seamlessly query archived logs and spans, regardless of time range.
  • Leverage higher scan, file, and shuffle limits for deeper data access.
  • Take advantage of extended execution times for heavy analytical workloads.

The API supports the following background gRPCs:

Submit a background query

https://api./api/v1/dataprime/background-query

In addition to the query field, syntax, startDate, and endDate are required fields for background queries.

Note

The structure of background query requests are different from that of direct query requests, specifically that background query requests don't contain the matadata nested object.

{
  "query": "source logs",
  "syntax": "QUERY_SYNTAX_DATAPRIME",  // QUERY_SYNTAX_LUCENE for Lucene
  "startDate": "2025-01-20T00:00:00Z", // UTC
  "endDate": "2025-01-20T01:00:00Z",   // UTC
  "nowDate": "2025-01-20T02:00:00Z",   // (optional field) UTC
  "tier": "TIER_ARCHIVE",              // (optional field) TIER_FREQUENT_SEARCH for Frequent Search
  "limit": 2000                        // (optional field) Max number of results. Default is 2000

Response

Status: 200 OK Content-Type: application/json

Body format: A single JSON object containing the background query identifier and any non-fatal warnings.

  • queryId — unique ID used for follow-up operations (e.g., check status, fetch results, cancel).
  • warnings — optional array of warning messages.
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Type: application/json

{
  "queryId": "a63653bc-aba8-49cf-b4a4-1b1ca9907f54",
  "warnings": []
}

Notes

  • This response does not include results; use the queryId for subsequent calls to retrieve status or results.
  • If warnings is present and non-empty, the query was accepted but with caveats (e.g., deprecated fields, partial filters).

Response status code: 200

Response

Status: 200 OK Content-Type: application/json

Body format: A single JSON object describing the background query’s lifecycle and diagnostics.

  • terminated — present when the query has finished.

  • runningSince — ISO-8601 UTC timestamp when execution started.

  • terminatedAt — ISO-8601 UTC timestamp when execution ended.
  • success — empty object {} indicating successful completion.
  • submittedAt — ISO-8601 UTC timestamp when the job was queued.

  • metadata — array of diagnostic entries.

  • statistics.bytesScanned — total bytes scanned (returned as a string).

  • warnings — optional array of non-fatal warning messages.
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Type: application/json

{
  "terminated": {
    "runningSince": "2025-01-23T15:16:01Z",
    "terminatedAt": "2025-01-23T15:16:01Z",
    "success": {}

  ],
  "warnings": []
}

Notes

  • If the query is still running, terminated may be absent; check for that to determine state.
  • Treat success as a boolean flag (present → success). If your client expects failures, also check for alternative fields your API may return (e.g., error).
  • bytesScanned is a string to avoid integer size issues; convert to a number if needed.

Body format: On success, the endpoint returns an empty JSON object.

Notes

  • Cancellation is typically idempotent: canceling an already finished or already canceled query will also return 200 {}.
  • If cancellation is asynchronous, use the Get Background Query Status endpoint with the same queryId to confirm that the job has transitioned to a terminated state.
  • Some implementations may return other codes (e.g., 404 for unknown queryId, 409 if the job cannot be canceled).

Response

Status: 200 OK Content-Type: application/x-ndjson (newline-delimited JSON)

Body format: A stream of one or more JSON objects, each on its own line. Every object contains a response.results.results array with one or more rows (metadata, labels, userData). Clients should read and parse the body line-by-line until EOF.

Content-Type: application/x-ndjson

{"response":{"results":{"results":[{"metadata":[...],"labels":[...],"userData":"..."}]}}}
{"response":{"results":{"results":[{"metadata":[...],"labels":[...],"userData":"..."}]}}}
...

Notes

  • Each line is a complete JSON object; do not attempt response.json() on the entire body.
  • Large result sets may arrive as multiple lines (batches).
  • If you need to present or store all results, accumulate parsed lines into a single list.

Response handling

The Content-Type representation header indicates the original media type of the resource before any content encoding is applied for transmission.

In responses, the Content-Type header informs the client of the actual content type of the returned data.

Data endpoint results are returned in batches, with each batch containing multiple rows formatted as Newline Delimited JSON (NDJSON). Other types of responses are returned in standard JSON format.

Failed requests

The general format guidelines are displayed when the accompanying status code is returned.
Status codeDescription
200No Error
400Bad Request
403Forbidden

A 400 error typically means the user made a malformed request.

A 403 error typically means that there was problem with the API key. See your API keys page or administrator for more information.

Warnings

The Warning response contains information about possible problems with the status of the message. More than one Warning header may appear in a response.

Warning responses can be applied to any message, before or after query results.
Warning typeDescription
CompileWarningWarning of potential compilation error in your query. In the event of a compilation failure, you will receive an error response.
TimeRangeWarningWhen the time frame for your query has been built incorrectly or exceeds internal limits
NumberOfResultsLimitWarningWhen the number of query results exceeds internal limits
BytesScannedLimitWarningWhen the number of bytes returned in query results exceeds internal limits
DeprecationWarningWhen a value in your query is changed or deprecated incorrectly

Limitations

When a limit is breached, a warning message is displayed.

See the limitations page for a comprehensive list of limitations.
