+## Line Protocol
+Write data to InfluxDB using Line Protocol, InfluxDB's text-based format for writing data points.
+Each line in Line Protocol represents a data point.
+Each point requires a [measurement](/v2.0/reference/line-protocol/#measurement)
+and [field set](/v2.0/reference/line-protocol/#field-set) but can also include
+a [tag set](/v2.0/reference/line-protocol/#tag-set) and a [timestamp](/v2.0/reference/line-protocol/#timestamp).
+If data point does not include a timestamp, InfluxDB uses the system time (UTC)
+of its host machine when it receives the data point. 
+
+##### Example line protocol
+```sh
+mem,host=host1 used_percent=23.43234543 1556892576842902000

+mem,host=host1 used_percent=21.83599203 1556892777007291000
+```
+
+_See the [Line Protocol reference](/v2.0/reference/line-protocol) for detailed information about writing Line Protocol._
+
+## Write data using the InfluxDB v2 API

+- For timestamp precisions other than nanoseconds (ns), specify the precision with the `precision` query parameter.

-Write data to InfluxDB using Line Protocol, InfluxDB's text-based format for writing data points.
+Write time series data to InfluxDB using [Line Protocol](/v2.0/reference/line-protocol)
+and the InfluxDB v2 API, the `influx` command line interface (CLI), or the InfluxDB
+user interface (UI).

+
+## Write requirements
+InfluxDB requires the following to write data.
+
+### Organization
+The organization in which to write data.
+Use your organization name or ID.
+
+### Bucket
+The bucket in which to write data.
+Use the bucket name or ID.
+The bucket must belong to the specified organization.
+
+### Precision
+_Optional_ – If the precision of the timestamps in your [Line Protocol](#line-protocol)
+is anything other than nanoseconds (ns), specify the precision.
+InfluxDB accepts the following precisions:
+
+- `ns` - Nanoseconds
+- `us` - Microseconds
+- `ms` - Milliseconds
+- `s` - Seconds
+
+### Authentication token
+All requests to the InfluxDB API require an [authentication token](http://localhost:1313/v2.0/security/tokens/).
+
+### Line protocol
+Line Protocol InfluxDB's text-based format for writing data points.
 Each line in Line Protocol represents a data point.
 Each point requires a [measurement](/v2.0/reference/line-protocol/#measurement)
 and [field set](/v2.0/reference/line-protocol/#field-set) but can also include
 a [tag set](/v2.0/reference/line-protocol/#tag-set) and a [timestamp](/v2.0/reference/line-protocol/#timestamp).

+Include the [write requirements](#write-requirements) in your command:
 
-- Authorization header with authentication token.
-- Specify your organization and bucket.

 ```sh
-influx write -o myOrg -b myBucket -p ms
+# Write a single data point
+influx write -b bucketName -o orgName -p s 'myMeasurement,host=myHost testField="testData" 1556896326'
+
+# Write line protocol from a file
+influx write -b bucketName -o orgName -p s @/path/to/line-protocol.txt
 ```

+
+2. Select the **Buckets** tab.
+3. Hover over the bucket into which you want to write data and click **{{< icon "plus" >}} Add Data**.
+4. Select **Line Protocol**.
+   _You can also [use Telegraf](/v2.0/collect-data/use-telegraf/) or
+   [scrape data](/v2.0/collect-data/scrape-data/)._
+5. Select **Upload File** or **Enter Manually**.
+
+    - **Upload File:**
+      Select the time precision of your data.
+      Drag and drop the Line Protocol file into the UI or click to select the
+      file from your file manager.
+    - **Enter Manually:**
+      Select the time precision of your data.
+      Manually enter Line Protocol.
+
+6. Click **Continue**.
+7. You will receive a success or failure message depending on whether or not the data was written.
