Write data to InfluxDB Cloud Serverless using the following tools and methods:

> [!Note]
> #### Choose the write endpoint for your workload
>
> When bringing existing v1 write workloads, use the InfluxDB Cloud Serverless HTTP API [`/write` endpoint](/influxdb3/cloud-serverless/guides/api-compatibility/v1/).
> When creating new write workloads, use the HTTP API [`/api/v2/write` endpoint](/influxdb3/cloud-serverless/guides/api-compatibility/v2/).

### [Use the InfluxDB HTTP API to write data](/influxdb3/cloud-serverless/write-data/http-api/)
