API (Restfull/JSON) documentation
=================================
This documentation describes the Glances API version 4 (Restfull/JSON) interface.
For Glances version 3, please have a look on:
``https://github.com/nicolargo/glances/blob/support/glancesv3/docs/api.rst``
Run the Glances API server
--------------------------
The Glances Restfull/API server could be ran using the following command line:
.. code-block:: bash
# glances -w --disable-webui
It is also ran automatically when Glances is started in Web server mode (-w).
API URL
-------
The default root API URL is ``http://localhost:61208/api/4``.
The bind address and port could be changed using the ``--bind`` and ``--port`` command line options.
It is also possible to define an URL prefix using the ``url_prefix`` option from the [outputs] section
of the Glances configuration file.
Note: The url_prefix should always end with a slash (``/``).
For example:
.. code-block:: ini
[outputs]
url_prefix = /glances/
will change the root API URL to ``http://localhost:61208/glances/api/4`` and the Web UI URL to
``http://localhost:61208/glances/``
API documentation URL
---------------------
The API documentation is embeded in the server and available at the following URL:
``http://localhost:61208/docs#/``.
WebUI refresh
-------------
It is possible to change the Web UI refresh rate (default is 2 seconds) using the following option in the URL:
``http://localhost:61208/glances/?refresh=5``
GET API status
--------------
This entry point should be used to check the API status.
It will the Glances version and a 200 return code if everything is OK.
Get the Rest API status::
# curl -I http://localhost:61208/api/4/status
"HTTP/1.0 200 OK"

Fields descriptions:
* **cpu_number**: CPU number (unit is *None*)
* **total**: Sum of CPU percentages (except idle) for current CPU number (unit is *percent*)
* **system**: Percent time spent in kernel space. System CPU time is the time spent running code in the Operating System kernel (unit is *percent*)
* **user**: CPU percent time spent in user space. User CPU time is the time spent on the processor running your program's code (or code in libraries) (unit is *percent*)
* **iowait**: *(Linux)*: percent time spent by the CPU waiting for I/O operations to complete (unit is *percent*)
* **idle**: percent of CPU used by any program. Every program or task that runs on a computer system occupies a certain amount of processing time on the CPU. If the CPU has completed all tasks it is idle (unit is *percent*)
* **irq**: *(Linux and BSD)*: percent time spent servicing/handling hardware/software interrupts. Time servicing interrupts (hardware + software) (unit is *percent*)
* **nice**: *(Unix)*: percent time occupied by user level processes with a positive nice value. The time the CPU has spent running users' processes that have been *niced* (unit is *percent*)
* **steal**: *(Linux)*: percentage of time a virtual CPU waits for a real CPU while the hypervisor is servicing another virtual processor (unit is *percent*)
* **guest**: *(Linux)*: percent of time spent running a virtual CPU for guest operating systems under the control of the Linux kernel (unit is *percent*)
* **guest_nice**: *(Linux)*: percent of time spent running a niced guest (virtual CPU) (unit is *percent*)
* **softirq**: *(Linux)*: percent of time spent handling software interrupts (unit is *percent*)
