## InfluxDB client libraries
|
|
[InfluxDB client libraries](/influxdb/cloud/api-guide/client-libraries/) are language-specific packages that integrate with the InfluxDB v2 API.
|
|
|
|
## Authentication
|
|
{{% cloud-token-auth %}}
|
|
Include your API token as an `Authorization` header in each request.
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
curl --request POST https://cloud2.influxdata.com/api/v2/write \
|
|
--header "Authorization: Token YOUR_API_TOKEN" \
|
|
--data-urlencode "org=myorg" \
|
|
--data-urlencode "bucket=example-bucket"
|
|
```
