# Develop with the InfluxDB API

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](/influxdb/cloud/api-guide/client-libraries/).

## InfluxDB v1 compatibility API documentation

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