The operations are handled identically, but ~85% of the references were POST, and having a mix of PUT and POST was a source of questions. A subsequent commit will update the internal use of "PUT" such as by the API client and -output-curl-string.

# `/sys/raw`
|
||
|
||
The `/sys/raw` endpoint is used to access the raw underlying store in Vault.
|
||
|
||
This endpoint is off by default. See the
|
||
[Vault configuration documentation](/docs/configuration) to
|
||
enable.
|
||
|
||
## Read Raw
|
||
|
||
This endpoint reads the value of the key at the given path. This is the raw path
|
||
in the storage backend and not the logical path that is exposed via the mount
|
||
system.
|
||
|
||
| Method | Path |
|
||
| :----- | :--------------- |
|
||
| `GET` | `/sys/raw/:path` |
|
||
|
||
### Parameters
|
||
|
||
- `path` `(string: <required>)` – Specifies the raw path in the storage backend.
|
||
This is specified as part of the URL.
|
||
|
||
- `compressed` `(bool: true)` - Attempt to decompress the value.
|
||
|
||
- `encoding` `(string: "")` - Specifies the encoding of the returned data. Defaults to no encoding.
|
||
"base64" returns the value encoded in base64.
|
||
|
||
### Sample Request
|
||
|
||
```shell-session
|
||
$ curl \
|
||
--header "X-Vault-Token: ..." \
|
||
http://127.0.0.1:8200/v1/sys/raw/secret/foo
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### Sample Response
|
||
|
||
```json
|
||
{
|
||
"value": "{'foo':'bar'}"
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## Create/Update Raw
|
||
|
||
This endpoint updates the value of the key at the given path. This is the raw
|
||
path in the storage backend and not the logical path that is exposed via the
|
||
mount system.
|
||
|
||
| Method | Path |
|
||
| :----- | :--------------- |
|
||
| `POST` | `/sys/raw/:path` |
|
||
|
||
### Parameters
|
||
|
||
- `path` `(string: <required>)` – Specifies the raw path in the storage backend.
|
||
This is specified as part of the URL.
|
||
|
||
- `value` `(string: <required>)` – Specifies the value of the key.
|
||
|
||
- `compression_type` `(string: "")` - Create/update using the compressed form of `value`. Supported `compression_type`
|
||
values are `gzip`, `lzw`, `lz4`, `snappy`, or `""`. `""` means no compression is used. If omitted and key already exists,
|
||
update uses the same compression (or no compression) as the existing value.
|
||
|
||
- `encoding` `(string: "")` - Specifies the encoding of `value`. Defaults to no encoding.
|
||
Use "base64" if `value` is encoded in base64.
|
||
|
||
