How to use the Consul-Terraform-Sync API
Consul-Terraform-Sync provides an API interface that lets you query CTS instance health, check CTS instance status, and run CTS tasks.
---
# Consul-Terraform-Sync API
# Consul-Terraform-Sync API Overview
When running in [daemon mode](/docs/nia/cli#daemon-mode), Consul-Terraform-Sync (CTS) serves an HTTP API interface. Details of the available API endpoints is available in the navigation to the left.
Consul-Terraform-Sync (CTS) provides an HTTP API interface for querying CTS instances and running and managing tasks.
### Port
## Port
The API is served at the default port `8558` or a different port if set with [`port` configuration](/docs/nia/configuration#port)
### Version Prefix
## Version prefix
All API routes are prefixed with `/v1/`. This documentation is for v1 of the API, which is the only version currently.
Example: `localhost:8558/v1/status`
### Error
## Request ID
Successful API requests will receive a 2XX success status code. For other unsuccessful status codes, when possible, more details will be provided in a response body containing an error object.
Each call to a CTS API endpoint returns a `request_id` field. The field is a string generated by the API. Example:
Example: Status 400 Bad Request
```json
{
"error": {
"message": "example error message: unsupported status parameter value"
}
}
```
`"request_id": "e1bc2236-3d0e-5f5e-dc51-164a1cf6da88"`
## Error messages
The API sends a response code in the 200 range if the call is successful. If the call is unsuccessful, the API sends an error message that includes additional information when possible. Refer to [Error Messages](/docs/nia/usage/errors-ref) for additional information.

The `/status` endpoints return status-related information for tasks. This endpoint returns a count of successful and failed task events that are recorded whenever tasks execute an automation. Currently, only the five most recent events are stored in Consul-Terraform-Sync (CTS). For more information on the hierarchy of status information and how it is collected, refer to [Status Information](/docs/nia/tasks#status-information).
If you [run CTS with high availability enabled](/docs/nia/usage/run-ha), you can send requests to the `/status` endpoint on CTS leader or follower instances. Requests to a follower instance, however, return a 400 Bad Request and error message. The error message depends on what information the follower instance is able to obtain about the leader. Refer to [Error Messages](/docs/nia/usage/errors-ref) for more information.
If CTS is configured [for high availability](/docs/nia/usage/run-ha), you can send a request to the [`/status/cluster` endpoint](#cluster-status) of any instance to get information about the cluster. Requests to the `status` endpoint return a 400 error, however, if high availability is enabled and the request is sent to a follower instance. The error message depends on what information the follower instance is able to obtain about the leader. Refer to [Error Messages](/docs/nia/usage/errors-ref) for more information.

## Cluster status
The `/v1/status/cluster` API endpoint returns information about the cluster and member instances, such as health status and leadership. This endpoint is only supported when using CTS in [high availability mode](/docs/nia/usage/run-ha). If you call the endpoint without configuring CTS for high availability, then CTS prints an error to the console. Refer to [Error Messages](/docs/nia/usage/errors-ref) for information about CTS error messages.
