Some Loki API endpoints return a result of a matrix, a vector, or a stream:
- Matrix: a table of values where each row represents a different label set
and the columns are each sample value for that row over the queried time.
Matrix types are only returned when running a query that computes some value.
- Instant Vector: denoted in the type as just `vector`, an Instant Vector
represents the latest value of a calculation for a given labelset. Instant
Vectors are only returned when doing a query against a single point in
time.
- Stream: a Stream is a set of all values (logs) for a given label set over the
queried time range. Streams are the only type that will result in log lines
being returned.
## `GET /loki/api/v1/query`
`/loki/api/v1/query` allows for doing queries against a single point in time. The URL
query parameters support the following values:
- `query`: The [LogQL](../logql/) query to perform

- `limit`: The max number of entries to return
- `time`: The evaluation time for the query as a nanosecond Unix epoch. Defaults to now.
- `direction`: Determines the sort order of logs. Supported values are `forward` or `backward`. Defaults to `backward.`
In microservices mode, `/loki/api/v1/query` is exposed by the querier and the frontend.

- `limit`: The max number of entries to return
- `start`: The start time for the query as a nanosecond Unix epoch. Defaults to one hour ago.
- `end`: The end time for the query as a nanosecond Unix epoch. Defaults to now.
- `step`: Query resolution step width in `duration` format or float number of seconds. `duration` refers to Prometheus duration strings of the form `[0-9]+[smhdwy]`. For example, 5m refers to a duration of 5 minutes. Defaults to a dynamic value based on `start` and `end`. Only applies to query types which produce a matrix response.
- `interval`: **Experimental, See Below** Only return entries at (or greater than) the specified interval, can be a `duration` format or float number of seconds. Only applies to queries which produce a stream response.

##### Step vs Interval
Use the `step` parameter when making metric queries to Loki, or queries which return a matrix response. It is evaluated in exactly the same way Prometheus evaluates `step`. First the query will be evaluated at `start` and then evaluated again at `start + step` and again at `start + step + step` until `end` is reached. The result will be a matrix of the query result evaluated at each step.
Use the `interval` parameter when making log queries to Loki, or queries which return a stream response. It is evaluated by returning a log entry at `start`, then the next entry will be returned an entry with timestampe >= `start + interval`, and again at `start + interval + interval` and so on until `end` is reached. It does not fill missing entries.
**Note about the experimental nature of interval** This flag may be removed in the future, if so it will likely be in favor of a LogQL expression to perform similar behavior, however that is uncertain at this time. [Issue 1779](https://github.com/grafana/loki/issues/1779) was created to track the discussion, if you are using `interval` please go add your use case and thoughts to that issue.

- `delay_for`: The number of seconds to delay retrieving logs to let slow
loggers catch up. Defaults to 0 and cannot be larger than 5.
- `limit`: The max number of entries to return
- `start`: The start time for the query as a nanosecond Unix epoch. Defaults to one hour ago.
In microservices mode, `/api/prom/tail` is exposed by the querier.
Response (streamed):
```json
{
"streams": [
{
"labels": "<LogQL label key-value pairs>",
"entries": [
{
"ts": "<RFC3339Nano timestamp>",
"line": "<log line>"
}
]
}
],
"dropped_entries": [
{
"Timestamp": "<RFC3339Nano timestamp>",
"Labels": "<LogQL label key-value pairs>"
}
]
}
```
`dropped_entries` will be populated when the tailer could not keep up with the
amount of traffic in Loki. When present, it indicates that the entries received
in the streams is not the full amount of logs that are present in Loki. Note
that the keys in `dropped_entries` will be sent as uppercase `Timestamp`
and `Labels` instead of `labels` and `ts` like in the entries for the stream.
As the response is streamed, the object defined by the response format above
will be sent over the WebSocket multiple times.

Note that the larger the time span between `start` and `end` will cause
additional load on Loki and the index store, resulting in slower queries.

## `POST /api/prom/push`
> **WARNING**: `/api/prom/push` is DEPRECATED; use `/loki/api/v1/push`
> instead.
`/api/prom/push` is the endpoint used to send log entries to Loki. The default
behavior is for the POST body to be a snappy-compressed protobuf message:
- [Protobuf definition](https://github.com/grafana/loki/tree/master/pkg/logproto/logproto.proto)
- [Go client library](https://github.com/grafana/loki/tree/master/pkg/promtail/client/client.go)
Alternatively, if the `Content-Type` header is set to `application/json`, a
JSON post body can be sent in the following format:
```
{
"streams": [
{
"labels": "<LogQL label key-value pairs>",
"entries": [
{
"ts": "<RFC3339Nano string>",
"line": "<log line>"
}
]
}
]
}
```
> **NOTE**: logs sent to Loki for every stream must be in timestamp-ascending
> order, meaning each log line must be more recent than the one last received.
> If logs do not follow this order, Loki will reject the log with an out of
> order error.
In microservices mode, `/api/prom/push` is exposed by the distributor.
### Examples
```bash
$ curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" -XPOST -s "https://localhost:3100/api/prom/push" --data-raw \
'{"streams": [{ "labels": "{foo=\"bar\"}", "entries": [{ "ts": "2018-12-18T08:28:06.801064-04:00", "line": "fizzbuzz" }] }]}'

## `GET /ready`
`/ready` returns HTTP 200 when the Loki ingester is ready to accept traffic. If
running Loki on Kubernetes, `/ready` can be used as a readiness probe.
In microservices mode, the `/ready` endpoint is exposed by all components.
## `POST /flush`
`/flush` triggers a flush of all in-memory chunks held by the ingesters to the
backing store. Mainly used for local testing.

This is helpful for scaling down WAL-enabled ingesters where we want to ensure old WAL directories are not orphaned,
but instead flushed to our chunk backend.

for a list of exported metrics.
In microservices mode, the `/metrics` endpoint is exposed by all components.
## `GET /config`
`/config` exposes the current configuration. The optional `mode` query parameter can be used to
modify the output. If it has the value `diff` only the differences between the default configuration
and the current are returned. A value of `defaults` returns the default configuration.
In microservices mode, the `/config` endpoint is exposed by all components.
## Series
The Series API is available under the following:
- `GET /loki/api/v1/series`
- `POST /loki/api/v1/series`
- `GET /api/prom/series`
- `POST /api/prom/series`
This endpoint returns the list of time series that match a certain label set.
URL query parameters:
- `match[]=<series_selector>`: Repeated log stream selector argument that selects the streams to return. At least one `match[]` argument must be provided.
- `start=<nanosecond Unix epoch>`: Start timestamp.
- `end=<nanosecond Unix epoch>`: End timestamp.
You can URL-encode these parameters directly in the request body by using the POST method and `Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded` header. This is useful when specifying a large or dynamic number of stream selectors that may breach server-side URL character limits.
In microservices mode, these endpoints are exposed by the querier.
### Examples
``` bash
$ curl -s "http://localhost:3100/loki/api/v1/series" --data-urlencode 'match={container_name=~"prometheus.*", component="server"}' --data-urlencode 'match={app="loki"}' | jq '.'

## Statistics
Query endpoints such as `/api/prom/query`, `/loki/api/v1/query` and `/loki/api/v1/query_range` return a set of statistics about the query execution. Those statistics allow users to understand the amount of data processed and at which speed.
The example belows show all possible statistics returned with their respective description.

## Ruler
The ruler API endpoints require to configure a backend object storage to store the recording rules and alerts. The ruler API uses the concept of a "namespace" when creating rule groups. This is a stand-in for the name of the rule file in Prometheus. Rule groups must be named uniquely within a namespace.
### Ruler ring status
```
GET /ruler/ring
```
Displays a web page with the ruler hash ring status, including the state, healthy and last heartbeat time of each ruler.
### List rule groups
```
GET /loki/api/v1/rules
```
List all rules configured for the authenticated tenant. This endpoint returns a YAML dictionary with all the rule groups for each namespace and `200` status code on success.
_This experimental endpoint is disabled by default and can be enabled via the `-experimental.ruler.enable-api` CLI flag (or its respective YAML config option)._
