api	Catalog - HTTP API	api-catalog	The /catalog endpoints register and deregister nodes, services, and checks in Consul.

Catalog HTTP API

The /catalog endpoints register and deregister nodes, services, and checks in Consul. The catalog should not be confused with the agent, since some of the API methods look similar.

Register Entity

This endpoint is a low-level mechanism for registering or updating entries in the catalog. It is usually preferable to instead use the agent endpoints for registration as they are simpler and perform anti-entropy.

Method	Path	Produces
`PUT`	`/catalog/register`	`application/json`

The table below shows this endpoint's support for blocking queries, consistency modes, and required ACLs.

Blocking Queries	Consistency Modes	ACL Required
`NO`	`none`	`node:write,service:write`

Parameters

ID (string: "") - An optional UUID to assign to the service. If not provided, one is generated. This must be a 36-character UUID.
Node (string: <required>) - Specifies the node ID to register.
Address (string: <required>) - Specifies the address to register.
Datacenter (string: "") - Specifies the datacenter, which defaults to the agent's datacenter if not provided.
TaggedAddresses (map<string|string>: nil) - Specifies the tagged addresses.
NodeMeta (map<string|string>: nil) - Specifies arbitrary KV metadata pairs for filtering purposes.
Service (Service: nil) - Specifies to register a service. If ID is not provided, it will be defaulted to the value of the Service.Service property. Only one service with a given ID may be present per node. The service Tags, Address, ServiceMeta, and Port fields are all optional.
Check (Check: nil) - Specifies to register a check. The register API manipulates the health check entry in the Catalog, but it does not setup the script, TTL, or HTTP check to monitor the node's health. To truly enable a new health check, the check must either be provided in agent configuration or set via the agent endpoint.

The CheckID can be omitted and will default to the value of Name. As with Service.ID, the CheckID must be unique on this node. Notes is an opaque field that is meant to hold human-readable text. If a ServiceID is provided that matches the ID of a service on that node, the check is treated as a service level health check, instead of a node level health check. The Status must be one of passing, warning, or critical.

The Definition field can be provided with details for a TCP or HTTP health check. For more information, see the Health Checks page.

Multiple checks can be provided by replacing Check with Checks and sending an array of Check objects.
SkipNodeUpdate (bool: false) - Specifies whether to skip updating the node part of the registration. Useful in the case where only a health check or service entry on a node needs to be updated.

It is important to note that Check does not have to be provided with Service and vice versa. A catalog entry can have either, neither, or both.

Deregister Entity

This endpoint is a low-level mechanism for directly removing entries from the Catalog. It is usually preferable to instead use the agent endpoints for deregistration as they are simpler and perform anti-entropy.

Method	Path	Produces
`PUT`	`/catalog/deregister`	`application/json`

The table below shows this endpoint's support for blocking queries, consistency modes, and required ACLs.

Blocking Queries	Consistency Modes	ACL Required
`NO`	`none`	`node:write,service:write`

Parameters

The behavior of the endpoint depends on what keys are provided.

Node (string: <required>) - Specifies the ID of the node. If no other values are provided, this node, all its services, and all its checks are removed.
Datacenter (string: "") - Specifies the datacenter, which defaults to the agent's datacenter if not provided.
CheckID (string: "") - Specifies the ID of the check to remove.
ServiceID (string: "") - Specifies the ID of the service to remove. The service and all associated checks will be removed.

List Datacenters

This endpoint returns the list of all known datacenters. The datacenters will be sorted in ascending order based on the estimated median round trip time from the server to the servers in that datacenter.

This endpoint does not require a cluster leader and will succeed even during an availability outage. Therefore, it can be used as a simple check to see if any Consul servers are routable.

Parameters

near (string: "") - Specifies a node name to sort the node list in ascending order based on the estimated round trip time from that node. Passing ?near=_agent will use the agent's node for the sort. This is specified as part of the URL as a query parameter.

List Nodes for Connect-capable Service

This endpoint returns the nodes providing a Connect-capable service in a given datacenter. This will include both proxies and native integrations. A service may register both Connect-capable and incapable services at the same time, so this endpoint may be used to filter only the Connect-capable endpoints.
