Standalone Install Note

If this environment only installed the current skill, start from the CloudBase main entry and use the published cloudbase/references/... paths for sibling skills.

• CloudBase main entry: https://cnb.cool/tencent/cloud/cloudbase/cloudbase-skills/-/git/raw/main/skills/cloudbase/SKILL.md
• Current skill raw source: https://cnb.cool/tencent/cloud/cloudbase/cloudbase-skills/-/git/raw/main/skills/cloudbase/references/http-api/SKILL.md

Keep local references/... paths for files that ship with the current skill directory. When this file points to a sibling skill such as auth-tool or web-development, use the standalone fallback URL shown next to that reference.

Activation Contract

Use this first when

• The request comes from Android, iOS, Flutter, React Native, non-Node backends, or admin scripts that must call official CloudBase APIs via raw HTTP.
• The task is to consume CloudBase platform endpoints, not to build a new HTTP service on CloudBase.

Read before writing code if

• The platform does not support a CloudBase SDK, or the user explicitly asks for HTTP API integration.
• The user says "HTTP API" but it is unclear whether they mean official CloudBase endpoints or their own business API.

Then also read

• Auth configuration -> ../auth-tool/SKILL.md (standalone fallback: https://cnb.cool/tencent/cloud/cloudbase/cloudbase-skills/-/git/raw/main/skills/cloudbase/references/auth-tool/SKILL.md)
• MySQL MCP management -> ../relational-database-tool/SKILL.md (standalone fallback: https://cnb.cool/tencent/cloud/cloudbase/cloudbase-skills/-/git/raw/main/skills/cloudbase/references/relational-database-tool/SKILL.md)
• Your own HTTP service on CloudBase -> ../cloud-functions/SKILL.md (standalone fallback: https://cnb.cool/tencent/cloud/cloudbase/cloudbase-skills/-/git/raw/main/skills/cloudbase/references/cloud-functions/SKILL.md) or ../cloudrun-development/SKILL.md (standalone fallback: https://cnb.cool/tencent/cloud/cloudbase/cloudbase-skills/-/git/raw/main/skills/cloudbase/references/cloudrun-development/SKILL.md)

Do NOT use for

• CloudBase Web SDK flows, mini program SDK flows, or MCP-driven management tasks.
• Building your own HTTP service or REST API on CloudBase.

Common mistakes / gotchas

• Treating Web SDK examples as valid for native Apps.
• Guessing endpoints without reading OpenAPI definitions.
• Confusing official CloudBase HTTP APIs with your own function or CloudRun endpoint.
• Mixing raw HTTP API integration with MCP management logic.

Minimal checklist

• Read HTTP API Routing Checklist before implementation.

When to use this skill

Use this skill whenever you need to call CloudBase platform features via raw HTTP APIs, for example:

• Non-Node backends (Go, Python, Java, PHP, etc.)
• Integration tests or admin scripts that use curl or language HTTP clients
• Direct database operations via 关系型数据库 RESTful API (MySQL/PostgreSQL)
• Cloud function invocation via HTTP
• Any scenario where SDKs are not available or not preferred

Do not use this skill for:

• Frontend Web apps using @cloudbase/js-sdk (use CloudBase Web skills)
• Node.js code using @cloudbase/node-sdk (use CloudBase Node skills)
• Authentication flows (use CloudBase Auth HTTP API skill for auth-specific endpoints)

How to use this skill (for a coding agent)

1. Clarify the scenario

   • Confirm this code will call HTTP endpoints directly (not SDKs).
   • Ask for:
     • env – CloudBase environment ID
     • Authentication method (AccessToken, API Key, or Publishable Key)
   • Confirm which CloudBase feature is needed (database, functions, storage, etc.).
   • For user authentication: If no specific method is requested, always default to Phone SMS Verification - it's the most user-friendly and secure option for Chinese users.

2. Determine the base URL

   • Use the correct domain based on region (domestic vs. international).
   • Default is domestic Shanghai region.

3. Set up authentication

   • Choose appropriate authentication method based on use case.
   • Add Authorization: Bearer <token> header to requests.

4. Reference OpenAPI Swagger documentation

   • MUST use searchKnowledgeBase tool to get OpenAPI specifications
   • Use the tool with mode=openapi and specify the apiName:
     • mysqldb - 关系型数据库 RESTful API (MySQL/PostgreSQL)
     • nosql - NoSQL RESTful API (文档型数据库)
     • functions - Cloud Functions API
     • auth - Authentication API
     • cloudrun - CloudRun API
     • storage - Storage API
     • ai_model - AI 大模型接入 API
   • Example: searchKnowledgeBase({ mode: "openapi", apiName: "mysqldb" })
   • Parse the returned YAML content to understand exact endpoint paths, parameters, request/response schemas
   • Never invent endpoints or parameters - always reference the swagger documentation

---

Overview

CloudBase HTTP API is a set of interfaces for accessing CloudBase platform features via HTTP protocol, supporting database, user authentication, cloud functions, cloud hosting, cloud storage, AI, and more.

OpenAPI Swagger Documentation

⚠️ IMPORTANT: Always use searchKnowledgeBase tool to get OpenAPI Swagger specifications

Before implementing any HTTP API calls, you should:

1. Use searchKnowledgeBase tool to get OpenAPI documentation:

   searchKnowledgeBase({ mode: "openapi", apiName: "<api-name>" })
   

2. Available API names:

   • mysqldb - 关系型数据库 RESTful API (MySQL/PostgreSQL)
   • nosql - NoSQL RESTful API (文档型数据库)
   • functions - Cloud Functions API
   • auth - Authentication API
   • cloudrun - CloudRun API
   • storage - Storage API
   • ai_model - AI 大模型接入 API

3. Parse and use the swagger documentation:

   • Extract exact endpoint paths and HTTP methods
   • Understand required and optional parameters
   • Review request/response schemas
   • Check authentication requirements
   • Verify error response formats

4. Never invent API endpoints or parameters - always base your implementation on the official swagger documentation.

Prerequisites

Before starting, ensure you have:

1. CloudBase environment created and activated
2. Authentication credentials (AccessToken, API Key, or Publishable Key)

Authentication and Authorization

CloudBase HTTP API requires authentication. Choose the appropriate method based on your use case:

AccessToken Authentication

Applicable environments: Client/Server
User permissions: Logged-in user permissions

How to get: Use searchKnowledgeBase({ mode: "openapi", apiName: "auth" }) to get the Authentication API specification

API Key

Applicable environments: Server
User permissions: Administrator permissions

• Validity: Long-term valid
• How to get: Get from CloudBase Platform/ApiKey Management Page

⚠️ Warning: Tokens are critical credentials for identity authentication. Keep them secure. API Key must NOT be used in client-side code.

Publishable Key

Applicable environments: Client/Server
User permissions: Anonymous user permissions

• Validity: Long-term valid
• How to get: Get from CloudBase Platform/ApiKey Management Page

💡 Note: Can be exposed in browsers, used for requesting publicly accessible resources, effectively reducing MAU.

API Endpoint URLs

CloudBase HTTP API uses unified domain names for API calls. The domain varies based on the environment's region.

Domestic Regions

For environments in domestic regions like Shanghai (ap-shanghai), use:

https://{your-env}.api.tcloudbasegateway.com

Replace {your-env} with the actual environment ID. For example, if environment ID is cloud1-abc:

https://cloud1-abc.api.tcloudbasegateway.com

International Regions

For environments in international regions like Singapore (ap-singapore), use:

https://{your-env}.api.intl.tcloudbasegateway.com

Replace {your-env} with the actual environment ID. For example, if environment ID is cloud1-abc:

https://cloud1-abc.api.intl.tcloudbasegateway.com

Using Authentication in Requests

Add the token to the request header:

Authorization: Bearer <access_token/apikey/publishable_key>

:::warning Note

When making actual calls, replace the entire part including angle brackets (< >) with your obtained key. For example, if the obtained key is eymykey, fill it as:

Authorization: Bearer eymykey

:::

Usage Examples

Cloud Function Invocation Example

curl -X POST "https://your-env-id.api.tcloudbasegateway.com/v1/functions/YOUR_FUNCTION_NAME" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer <access_token/apikey/publishable_key>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"name": "张三", "age": 25}'

For detailed API specifications, always download and reference the OpenAPI Swagger files mentioned above.

关系型数据库 RESTful API (PostgREST 风格)

适用于 MySQL 和 PostgreSQL：两者均基于 PostgREST 风格暴露 REST API，端点格式和请求语义一致。

提供关系型数据库（MySQL / PostgreSQL）的 HTTP 操作接口。

Base URL Patterns

Support three domain access patterns:

1. https://{envId}.api.tcloudbasegateway.com/v1/rdb/rest/{table}
2. https://{envId}.api.tcloudbasegateway.com/v1/rdb/rest/{schema}/{table}
3. https://{envId}.api.tcloudbasegateway.com/v1/rdb/rest/{instance}/{schema}/{table}

Where:

• envId is the environment ID
• instance is the database instance identifier
• schema is the database name
• table is the table name

If using the system database, recommend pattern 1.

Request Headers

Header	Parameter	Description	Example
Accept	application/json, application/vnd.pgrst.object+json	Control data return format	Accept: application/json
Content-Type	application/json, application/vnd.pgrst.object+json	Request content type	Content-Type: application/json
Prefer	Operation-dependent feature values	- return=representation Write operation, return data body and headers - return=minimal Write operation, return headers only (default) - count=exact Read operation, specify count - resolution=merge-duplicates Upsert operation, merge conflicts - resolution=ignore-duplicates Upsert operation, ignore conflicts	Prefer: return=representation
Authorization	Bearer <token>	Authentication token	Authorization: Bearer <access_token>

Query Records

GET /v1/rdb/rest/{table}

Query Parameters:

• select: Field selection, supports * or field list, supports join queries like class_id(grade,class_number)
• limit: Limit return count
• offset: Offset for pagination
• order: Sort field, format field.asc or field.desc

Example:

# Before URL encoding
curl -X GET 'https://your-env.api.tcloudbasegateway.com/v1/rdb/rest/course?select=name,position&name=like.%张三%&title=eq.文章标题' \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer <access_token>"

# After URL encoding
curl -X GET 'https://your-env.api.tcloudbasegateway.com/v1/rdb/rest/course?select=name,position&name=like.%%E5%BC%A0%E4%B8%89%&title=eq.%E6%96%87%E7%AB%A0%E6%A0%87%E9%A2%98' \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer <access_token>"

Response Headers:

• Content-Range: Data range, e.g., 0-9/100 (0=start, 9=end, 100=total)

Insert Records

POST /v1/rdb/rest/{table}

Request Body: JSON object or array of objects

💡 Identity fields differ by database mode: In PostgreSQL / CloudBase PG, do not use _openid. Prefer owner columns with DEFAULT auth.uid() (JWT sub) and omit the owner field from INSERT bodies. In legacy MySQL/NoSQL-oriented examples, _openid may be populated by the platform; do not copy that pattern into PG tables.

Example:

curl -X POST 'https://your-env.api.tcloudbasegateway.com/v1/rdb/rest/course' \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer <access_token>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Prefer: return=representation" \
  -d '{
    "name": "数学",
    "position": 1
  }'

Update Records

PATCH /v1/rdb/rest/{table}

Request Body: JSON object with fields to update

Example:

curl -X PATCH 'https://your-env.api.tcloudbasegateway.com/v1/rdb/rest/course?id=eq.1' \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer <access_token>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Prefer: return=representation" \
  -d '{
    "name": "高等数学",
    "position": 2
  }'

⚠️ Important: UPDATE requires a WHERE clause. Use query parameters like ?id=eq.1 to specify conditions.

Delete Records

DELETE /v1/rdb/rest/{table}

Example:

curl -X DELETE 'https://your-env.api.tcloudbasegateway.com/v1/rdb/rest/course?id=eq.1' \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer <access_token>"

⚠️ Important: DELETE requires a WHERE clause. Use query parameters to specify conditions.

Error Codes and HTTP Status Codes

Error Code	HTTP Status	Description
INVALID_PARAM	400	Invalid request parameters
INVALID_REQUEST	400	Invalid request content: missing permission fields, SQL execution errors, etc.
INVALID_REQUEST	406	Does not meet single record return constraint
PERMISSION_DENIED	401, 403	Authentication failed: 401 for identity authentication failure, 403 for authorization failure
RESOURCE_NOT_FOUND	404	Database instance or table not found
SYS_ERR	500	Internal system error
OPERATION_FAILED	503	Failed to establish database connection
RESOURCE_UNAVAILABLE	503	Database unavailable due to certain reasons

Response Format

1. All POST, PATCH, DELETE operations: Request header with Prefer: return=representation means there is a response body, without it means only response headers.

2. POST, PATCH, DELETE response bodies are usually JSON array type []. If request header specifies Accept: application/vnd.pgrst.object+json, it will return JSON object type {}.

3. If Accept: application/vnd.pgrst.object+json is specified but data quantity is greater than 1, an error will be returned.

URL Encoding

When making requests, please perform URL encoding. For example:

Original request:

curl -i -X GET 'https://{{host}}/v1/rdb/rest/course?select=name,position&name=like.%张三%&title=eq.文章标题'

Encoded request:

curl -i -X GET 'https://{{host}}/v1/rdb/rest/course?select=name,position&name=like.%%E5%BC%A0%E4%B8%89%&title=eq.%E6%96%87%E7%AB%A0%E6%A0%87%E9%A2%98'

NoSQL RESTful API

NoSQL RESTful API 提供文档型数据库（NoSQL）的 HTTP 操作接口，支持集合管理、文档 CRUD、聚合查询、事务操作和数据库命令。

Online Debugging Tool

CloudBase platform provides an online debugging tool where you can test API interfaces without writing code:

1. Visit the API documentation page
2. Find the debugging tool entry
3. Fill in environment ID and request parameters
4. Click send request to view response

API Documentation References

⚠️ Always use searchKnowledgeBase tool to get OpenAPI Swagger specifications:

Use searchKnowledgeBase({ mode: "openapi", apiName: "<api-name>" }) with these API names:

• auth - Authentication API
• mysqldb - 关系型数据库 RESTful API (MySQL/PostgreSQL)
• nosql - NoSQL RESTful API (文档型数据库)
• functions - Cloud Functions API
• cloudrun - CloudRun API
• storage - Storage API
• ai_model - AI 大模型接入 API

How to use the OpenAPI documentation:

1. Call searchKnowledgeBase tool with the appropriate apiName
2. Parse the returned YAML content to extract:
   • Endpoint paths (e.g., /v1/rdb/rest/{table})
   • HTTP methods (GET, POST, PATCH, DELETE)
   • Path parameters, query parameters, request body schemas
   • Response schemas and status codes
   • Authentication requirements
3. Use the extracted information to construct accurate API calls
4. Never assume endpoint structure - always verify against swagger documentation

Common Patterns

Reusable Shell Variables

env="your-env-id"
token="your-access-token-or-api-key"
base="https://${env}.api.tcloudbasegateway.com"

Common Request Pattern

curl -X GET "${base}/v1/rdb/rest/table_name" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer ${token}" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json"

Error Handling

Always check HTTP status codes and error response format:

{
  "code": "ERROR_CODE",
  "message": "Error message details",
  "requestId": "request-unique-id"
}

Common Authentication Flows

🌟 IMPORTANT: Default Authentication Method

When no specific signup/signin method is specified by the user, ALWAYS use Phone SMS Verification as the default and recommended method. It is:

• ✅ The most user-friendly for Chinese users
• ✅ No password to remember
• ✅ Works for both new users (registration) and existing users (login)
• ✅ Most secure with OTP verification
• ✅ Supported by default in CloudBase

Phone Number Verification Code Login (Native Apps) ⭐ RECOMMENDED

This is the preferred authentication flow for native mobile apps (iOS/Android/Flutter/React Native):

┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│  Step 1: Send Verification Code                                        │
│  POST /auth/v1/verification                                             │
│  Body: { "phone_number": "[phone]", "target": "ANY" }          │
│  ⚠️ IMPORTANT: phone_number MUST include "+86 " prefix WITH SPACE      │
│  Response: { "verification_id": "xxx", "expires_in": 600 }             │
│  📝 SAVE verification_id for next step!                                 │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
                                    ↓
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│  Step 2: Verify Code                                                    │
│  POST /auth/v1/verification/verify                                      │
│  Body: { "verification_id": "<saved_id>", "verification_code": "123456" }│
│  Response: { "verification_token": "xxx" }                              │
│  📝 SAVE verification_token for login!                                  │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
                                    ↓
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│  Step 3: Sign In with Token                                             │
│  POST /auth/v1/signin                                                   │
│  Body: { "verification_token": "<saved_token>" }                        │
│  Response: { "access_token": "xxx", "refresh_token": "xxx" }           │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘

⚠️ Critical Notes:

1. Phone number format: MUST be "[phone]" with space after country code
2. Save verification_id: Returned from Step 1, required for Step 2
3. Save verification_token: Returned from Step 2, required for Step 3

Best Practices

1. Always use URL encoding for query parameters containing special characters
2. Include WHERE clauses for UPDATE and DELETE operations
3. Use appropriate Prefer headers to control response format
4. Handle errors gracefully by checking status codes and error responses
5. Keep tokens secure - never expose API Keys in client-side code
6. Use appropriate authentication method based on your use case:
   • AccessToken for user-specific operations
   • API Key for server-side admin operations
   • Publishable Key for public access (note: anonymous login is disabled by default for new environments)
7. Phone number format: Always use international format with space: "[phone]"
8. Verification flow: Save verification_id from send step, use it in verify step
