View HTTP API

Addresses of Views

All Views in ArangoDB have a name that is unique within a database. To access a View, use the View name to refer to it:

http://server:port/_db/<database-name>/_api/view/<view-name>

For example, assume ArangoDB runs locally, the View name is demo, and it is in the mydb database. The URL of that View is the following:

http://localhost:8529/_db/mydb/_api/view/demo

View types

ArangoDB supports the following types of Views and they share endpoints in the HTTP API but the behavior is different for each:

• arangosearch Views
• search-alias Views
