Method signature

database_info(
  id: str,
  *,
  database_admin_timeout_ms: int,
  request_timeout_ms: int,
  timeout_ms: int,
) -> AstraDBAdminDatabaseInfo

Name Type Summary

Name	Type	Summary
`id`	`str`	The ID of the target database.
`database_admin_timeout_ms`	`int`	Optional. A timeout, in milliseconds, to impose on the underlying API request. If not provided, the `AstraDBAdmin` defaults apply. This parameter is aliased as `request_timeout_ms` and `timeout_ms` for convenience.

id

str

The ID of the target database.

database_admin_timeout_ms

int

Optional. A timeout, in milliseconds, to impose on the underlying API request. If not provided, the AstraDBAdmin defaults apply.

This parameter is aliased as request_timeout_ms and timeout_ms for convenience.

Use the dbInfo method, which belongs to the AstraAdmin class.

Method signature

async dbInfo(
  id: string,
  options?: {
    timeout: number | TimeoutDescriptor,
  }
): AstraFullDatabaseInfo;

Name Type Summary

Name	Type	Summary
`id`	`string`	The ID of the target database.
`options.timeout`	`number` \| `TimeoutDescriptor`	Optional. A timeout to impose on the underlying API request.

id

string

The ID of the target database.

options.timeout

number | TimeoutDescriptor

Optional. A timeout to impose on the underlying API request.

Use the getDatabaseInfo method, which belongs to the com.datastax.astra.client.admin.AstraDBAdmin class.

Method signature

DatabaseInfo getDatabaseInfo(UUID id)

Parameters:

Name Type Summary

Name	Type	Summary
`id`	`UUID`	The ID of the target database.

id

UUID

The ID of the target database.

Use the DevOps API to get information about a database programmatically.

The application token must have sufficient permissions to perform the requested operations, such as the Database Administrator role.

Command signature

curl -sS -L -X GET "https://api.astra.datastax.com/v2/databases/DATABASE_ID" \
--header "Authorization: Bearer APPLICATION_TOKEN" \
--header "Content-Type: application/json"

Examples

The following examples demonstrate how to find a database.

Python
TypeScript
Java
curl

from astrapy import DataAPIClient

client = DataAPIClient("APPLICATION_TOKEN")

admin = client.get_admin()

database_info = admin.database_info("DATABASE_ID")

print(database_info)

import { DataAPIClient } from "@datastax/astra-db-ts";

const client = new DataAPIClient("APPLICATION_TOKEN");

const admin = client.admin();

(async function () {
  const databaseInfo = await admin.dbInfo("DATABASE_ID");

  console.log(databaseInfo);
})();

import com.datastax.astra.client.DataAPIClient;
import com.datastax.astra.client.admin.AstraDBAdmin;
import com.datastax.astra.client.databases.definition.DatabaseInfo;
import java.util.UUID;

public class Example {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    DataAPIClient client = new DataAPIClient("APPLICATION_TOKEN");

    AstraDBAdmin admin = client.getAdmin();

    DatabaseInfo databaseInfo = admin.getDatabaseInfo(UUID.fromString("DATABASE_ID"));

    System.out.println(databaseInfo);
  }
}

curl -sS -L -X GET "https://api.astra.datastax.com/v2/databases/DATABASE_ID" \
--header "Authorization: Bearer APPLICATION_TOKEN" \
--header "Content-Type: application/json"
