InfluxDB API client library tutorials

This page documents an earlier version of InfluxDB OSS. InfluxDB 3 Core is the latest stable version.

Follow step-by-step tutorials to build an Internet-of-Things (IoT) application with InfluxData client libraries and your favorite framework or language. InfluxData and the user community maintain client libraries for developers who want to take advantage of:

  • Idioms for InfluxDB requests, responses, and errors.
  • Common patterns in a familiar programming language.
  • Faster development and less boilerplate code.

In these tutorials, you’ll use the InfluxDB API and client libraries to build a modern application, and learn the following:

  • InfluxDB core concepts.
  • How the application interacts with devices and InfluxDB.
  • How to authenticate apps and devices to the API.
  • How to install a client library.
  • How to write and query data in InfluxDB.
  • How to use the InfluxData UI libraries to format data and create visualizations.
