REST plugin

The REST plugin provides access to the Zenoh REST API by enabling an HTTP server on the Zenoh node where it is running.


Library name: zplugin_rest


There are two main ways to start this plugin:

  • Through startup arguments: zenohd’s --rest-http-port=[PORT | IP:PORT | none] argument allows you to choose which port will be listened to by the HTTP server. Note that the default value for this argument is 8000, meaning that unless you specify none explicitly, zenohd will use this plugin by default.

  • Through configuration: you may also configure the rest plugin in a zenohd config file, as illustrated in the Zenoh repo’s DEFAULT_CONFIG.json5 file
