# Remote Read API
|
|
|
|
> This is not currently considered part of the stable API and is subject to change even between non-major version releases of Prometheus.
|
|
|
|
This API provides data read functionality from Prometheus. This interface expects [snappy](https://github.com/google/snappy) compression.
|
|
The API definition is located [here](https://github.com/prometheus/prometheus/blob/master/prompb/remote.proto).
|
|
|
|
Request are made to the following endpoint.
|
|
```
|
|
/api/v1/read
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Samples
|
|
|
|
This returns a message that includes a list of raw samples matching the
|
|
requested query.
|
|
|
|
### Streamed Chunks
|
|
|
|
These streamed chunks utilize an XOR algorithm inspired by the [Gorilla](http://www.vldb.org/pvldb/vol8/p1816-teller.pdf)
|
|
compression to encode the chunks. However, it provides resolution to the millisecond instead of to the second.
