The InfluxDB v2 API provides a programmatic interface for interactions with InfluxDB.
|
|
Access the InfluxDB API using the `/api/v2/` endpoint.
|
|
|
|
## Authentication
|
|
InfluxDB uses [authentication tokens](/v2.0/security/tokens/) to authorize API requests.
|
|
Include your authentication token as an `Authorization` header in each request.
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
curl --request GET \
|
|
--url http://localhost:9999/api/v2/ \
|
|
--header 'Authorization: Token YOURAUTHTOKEN'
|
|
```
|
