Historian APIs

Historian is a high performance data archiving system designed to collect, store, and retrieve time-based information at extremely high speed efficiently. The Historian environment provides a set of REST APIs to query data from the archives.

This document provides links for setting up your development environment, as well as information for getting started with the Historian services and their associated APIs.

Starting Historian 8.0, the default https port is 443. If you use the default port, you need not include it in the Rest API calls.

Also, the default admin client name is changed from admin to hostname.admin, and it is case-sensitive.

curl -u admin:adminsecret https://<nodename>:443/uaa/oauth/token -d
      'grant_type=client_credentials'

curl -u hostname.admin:adminsecret https://<nodename>/uaa/oauth/token -d
      'grant_type=client_credentials'
