EdgeDB can expose an HTTP endpoint for EdgeQL queries. Since HTTP is a stateless protocol, no DDL, transaction commands, can be executed using this endpoint. Only one query per request can be executed.
In order to set up HTTP access to the database add the following to the schema:
using extension edgeql_http;Then create a new migration and apply it using edgedb migration create and edgedb migrate, respectively.
Your instance can now receive EdgeQL queries over HTTP at
http://<hostname>:<port>/db/<database-name>/edgeql.
In development:
The hostname will be localhost
Find the port by running edgedb instance list. This will print a
table of all EdgeDB instances on your machine, including their associated
port number.
In most cases, database_name will be edgedb. An EdgeDB instance
can contain multiple databases. On initialization, a default database called
edgedb is created; all queries are executed against this database unless
otherwise specified.
