Use compatibility APIs and client libraries to write data
Use compatibility APIs when you need to migrate existing InfluxDB v1 or v2 write
workloads to InfluxDB 3.x.
The /api/v2/write (v2-compatible) and /write (v1-compatible) HTTP API
endpoints work with InfluxDB client libraries, Telegraf, and third-party integrations
to write points as line protocol data to InfluxDB 3 Core.
Compatibility APIs differ from native APIs
Keep in mind that the compatibility APIs differ from the v1 and v2 APIs in previous versions in the following ways:
- Tags in a table (measurement) are immutable
- A tag and a field can’t have the same name within a table.
InfluxDB v2 compatibility
The /api/v2/write InfluxDB v2 compatibility endpoint provides backwards compatibility with clients that can write data to InfluxDB OSS v2.x and Cloud 2 (TSM).
POST /api/v2/write?bucket=mydb&precision=ns
InfluxDB v1 compatibility
The /write InfluxDB v1 compatibility endpoint provides backwards compatibility with clients that can write data to InfluxDB v1.x.
POST /write?db=mydb&precision=ns
