The ArangoGraph API

The ArangoGraph Insights Platform, comes with its own API. This API enables you to control all resources inside ArangoGraph in a scriptable manner. Typical use cases are spinning up ArangoGraph deployments during continuous integration and infrastructure as code.

The ArangoGraph API…

  • is a well-specified API that uses Protocol Buffers as interface definition and gRPC as underlying protocol.

  • allows for automatic generation of clients for a large list of languages. A Go client is available out of the box.

  • uses API keys for authentication. API keys impersonate a user and inherit the permissions of that user.

  • is also available as a command-line tool called oasisctl.

  • is also available as a Terraform plugin. This plugin makes integration of ArangoGraph in infrastructure as code projects very simple. To learn more, refer to the plugin documentation.
