Pivotal GemFire REST API Reference

Pivotal GemFire REST API Reference

This section summarizes all available Pivotal GemFire REST API resources and endpoints.

Note: This documentation covers the v1 release of GemFire REST APIs for developing applications.
  • Region Endpoints
    A GemFire region is how GemFire logically groups data within its cache. Regions stores data as entries, which are key-value pairs. Using the REST APIs you can read, add (or update), and delete region data.
  • Query Endpoints
    GemFire uses a query syntax based on OQL (Object Query Language) to query region data. Since GemFire regions are key-value stores, values can range from simple byte arrays to complex nested objects.
  • Function Endpoints
    GemFire functions allows you to write and execute server-side transactions and data operations. These may include anything ranging from initializing components or third-party services or aggregating data.
  • Administrative Endpoints
    Administrative endpoints provide management and monitoring functionality for the REST API interface.
