-## Requirements to write data
+### What you'll need
 
-To write data to InfluxDB, you must have an organization, bucket, authentication token,
-and data formatted in line protocol.
+To write data into InfluxDB, you need the following:
 
-### Organization
+- an **organization**
+- a **bucket**; and
+- an [**authentication token**](/v2.0/security/tokens/).
 
-The organization in which to write data.
-Use your organization name or ID.
+The [InfluxDB setup process](/v2.0/get-started/#set-up-influxdb) creates each of these.
 
-### Bucket
+Use _line protocol_ format to write data into InfluxDB.
+Each line 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) and may also include
+a [*tag set*](/v2.0/reference/line-protocol/#tag-set) and a [*timestamp*](/v2.0/reference/line-protocol/#timestamp).
 
-The bucket in which to write data.
-Use the bucket name or ID.
-The bucket must belong to the specified organization.
+Line protocol data looks like this:

-The precision of timestamps provided in the line protocol.
-Default timestamp precision is in nanoseconds.
+Timestamps are essential in InfluxDB.
+If a data point does not include a timestamp when it is received by the database, InfluxDB uses the current system time (UTC) of its host machine.
 
-If the precision of the timestamps is anything other than nanoseconds (ns),
+The default precision for timestamps is in nanoseconds.
+If the precision of the timestamps is anything other than nanoseconds (`ns`),
 you must specify the precision in your write request.
