Data source API

If you are running Grafana Enterprise, for some endpoints you’ll need to have specific permissions. Refer to Role-based access control permissions for more information.

Get all data sources

GET /api/datasources

Warning

This API currently doesn’t handle pagination. The default maximum number of data sources returned is 5000. You can change this value in the default.ini file.

Query a data source

Queries a data source having a backend implementation.

Note

Grafana’s built-in data sources usually have a backend implementation.

Example request for the Test data source:

POST /api/ds/query HTTP/1.1
Accept: application/json
Content-Type: application/json

{
   "queries":[
      {
         "refId":"A",
         "scenarioId":"csv_metric_values",
         "datasource":{
            "uid":"PD8C576611E62080A"
         },
         "format": "table",
         "maxDataPoints":1848,
         "intervalMs":200,

      }
   ],
   "from":"now-5m",
   "to":"now"
}

JSON Body schema:

In addition, specific properties of each data source should be added in a request (for example queries.stringInput as shown in the request above). To better understand how to form a query for a certain data source, use the Developer Tools in your browser of choice and inspect the HTTP requests being made to /api/ds/query.

Example Test data source time series query response:

    "A": {
