The InfluxDB v2 API provides a programmatic interface for interactions with InfluxDB.
|
|
Access the InfluxDB API using the `/api/v2/` endpoint.
|
|
|
|
## InfluxDB client libraries
|
|
InfluxDB client libraries are language-specific packages that integrate with the InfluxDB v2 API.
|
|
For information about supported client libraries, see [InfluxDB client libraries](/{{< latest "influxdb" >}}/api-guide/client-libraries/).

#### View InfluxDB API documentation locally
|
|
InfluxDB API documentation is built into the `influxd` service and represents
|
|
the API specific to the current version of InfluxDB.
|
|
To view the API documentation locally, [start InfluxDB](/influxdb/v2.0/get-started/#start-influxdb)
|
|
and visit the `/docs` endpoint in a browser ([localhost:8086/docs](http://localhost:8086/docs)).

## InfluxDB v1 compatibility API documentation
|
|
The InfluxDB v2 API includes [InfluxDB 1.x compatibility endpoints](/influxdb/v2.0/reference/api/influxdb-1x/)
|
|
that work with InfluxDB 1.x client libraries and third-party integrations like
|
|
[Grafana](https://grafana.com) and others.
