Help Center

REST API calls can be used to apply changes on the engine, such as START / STOP / RESTART/ etc.

There is no specific call to output engine status; however, it is still possible the check it by following these steps:

  1. Get the engine ID:

curl --request GET 'https://api.app.firebolt.io/core/v1/account/engines:getIdByName engine_name=YOUR_ENGINE_NAME&account=YOUR_ACCOUNT' --header 'Authorization: Bearer YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN_VALUE'

  1. Use the retrieved ID in the following call:

curl --request GET 'https://api.app.firebolt.io/core/v1/account/engines/ENGINE_ID' --header 'Authorization: Bearer YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN_VALUE'

The response will include "current_status_summary" which outputs the current engine status. For example:

"current_status_summary":"ENGINE_STATUS_SUMMARY_STOPPED"

Engine statuses are explained in Firebolt Documentation
