+InfluxDB offers a rich API that you can use to create applications.
+The following pages offer general guides to the most commonly used API methods.
+
+For detailed documentation on the entire API, see [InfluxDBv2 API Documentation](/influxdb/v2.0/reference/api/#influxdb-v2-api-documentation).
+
+{{% note %}}
+If you are interacting with InfluxDB 1.x, see the [1.x compatibility API](/influxdb/v2.0/reference/api/influxdb-1x/).
+{{% /note %}}
+
+Use the following API endpoints to write and query data:
+
+## Write API
+
+[Write data to InfluxDB](/influxdb/v2.0/write-data/developer-tools/api/) using an HTTP request to the InfluxDB API `/write` endpoint.
+
+## Query API
+
+[Query from InfluxDB](/influxdb/v2.0/query-data/execute-queries/influx-api/) using an HTTP request to the `/query` endpoint.
