info:
  title: TiDB HTTP Diagnostics API
  description: The TiDB HTTP API is a built-in administrative interface available on self-managed TiDB server instances, accessible on port 10080 by default. It exposes endpoints for retrieving server status, database and table schema information, region metadata, MVCC key details, DDL job history, hot region data, and server configuration. Operators and monitoring systems use this API to inspect the internal state of a running TiDB node, integrate with observability tooling, and troubleshoot distributed SQL execution. The API does not require authentication by default and is intended for use within trusted internal networks. The port can be configured in tidb.toml via the status.status-port setting.
