This section lists resources that make up the Presto REST API v1. 

## Request for Presto services

All requests for Presto services should use Presto REST API v1 version. 

To request services, use explicit URL `http://presto.service:8081/v1`. You need to update `presto.service:8081` with your real Presto address before sending requests.

`POST` requests require the `X-Presto-User` header. If you use authentication, you must use the same `username` that is specified in the authentication configuration. If you do not use authentication, you can specify anything for `username`.

```properties
X-Presto-User: username
```

For more information about headers, refer to [PrestoHeaders](https://github.com/prestosql/presto/blob/master/presto-client/src/main/java/io/prestosql/client/PrestoHeaders.java).

## Schema

You can use statement in the HTTP body. All data is received as JSON document that might contain a `nextUri` link. If the received JSON document contains a `nextUri` link, the request continues with the `nextUri` link until the received data does not contain a `nextUri` link. If no error is returned, the query completes successfully. If an `error` field is displayed in `stats`, it means the query fails.

The following is an example of `show catalogs`. The query continues until the received JSON document does not contain a `nextUri` link. Since no `error` is displayed in `stats`, it means that the query completes successfully.

```powershell
