Core API Reference

core/v1/record.proto

Record

Record unifies different versions of records into a single message. It allows for backward compatibility and easier handling of different record versions in the same service or application.

Field Type Label Description
v1 objects.v1.Agent
v2 objects.v2.AgentRecord
v3 objects.v3.Record

RecordMeta

Defines metadata about a record.

Field Type Label Description
cid string CID of the record.
annotations RecordMeta.AnnotationsEntry repeated Annotations attached to the record.
schema_version string Schema version of the record.
created_at string Creation timestamp of the record in the RFC3339 format. Specs: https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc3339.html

RecordMeta.AnnotationsEntry

Field Type Label Description
key string
value string

RecordRef

Defines a reference or a globally unique content identifier of a record.

Field Type Label Description
cid string Globally-unique content identifier (CID) of the record. Specs: https://github.com/multiformats/cid

Scalar Value Types

.proto Type Notes C++ Java Python Go C# PHP Ruby
double double double float float64 double float Float
float float float float float32 float float Float
int32 Uses variable-length encoding. Inefficient for encoding negative numbers – if your field is likely to have negative values, use sint32 instead. int32 int int int32 int integer Bignum or Fixnum (as required)
int64 Uses variable-length encoding. Inefficient for encoding negative numbers – if your field is likely to have negative values, use sint64 instead. int64 long int/long int64 long integer/string Bignum
uint32 Uses variable-length encoding. uint32 int int/long uint32 uint integer Bignum or Fixnum (as required)
uint64 Uses variable-length encoding. uint64 long int/long uint64 ulong integer/string Bignum or Fixnum (as required)
sint32 Uses variable-length encoding. Signed int value. These more efficiently encode negative numbers than regular int32s. int32 int int int32 int integer Bignum or Fixnum (as required)
sint64 Uses variable-length encoding. Signed int value. These more efficiently encode negative numbers than regular int64s. int64 long int/long int64 long integer/string Bignum
fixed32 Always four bytes. More efficient than uint32 if values are often greater than 2^28. uint32 int int uint32 uint integer Bignum or Fixnum (as required)
fixed64 Always eight bytes. More efficient than uint64 if values are often greater than 2^56. uint64 long int/long uint64 ulong integer/string Bignum
sfixed32 Always four bytes. int32 int int int32 int integer Bignum or Fixnum (as required)
sfixed64 Always eight bytes. int64 long int/long int64 long integer/string Bignum
bool bool boolean boolean bool bool boolean TrueClass/FalseClass
string A string must always contain UTF-8 encoded or 7-bit ASCII text. string String str/unicode string string string String (UTF-8)
bytes May contain any arbitrary sequence of bytes. string ByteString str []byte ByteString string String (ASCII-8BIT)
