**Canonical:** https://apis.io/apis/grafana-com/grafana-com-admin-api/  
**Provider:** Grafana — https://apis.io/providers/grafana-com/  
**Base URL:** /api  
**Documentation:** https://grafana.com/docs/grafana/latest/developers/http_api/

Grafana Admin API is one of 49 APIs that [Grafana](https://apis.io/providers/grafana-com/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network, described by a machine-readable OpenAPI specification. Tagged areas include Admin. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes an OpenAPI specification, API documentation, and authentication docs.

The Admin HTTP API does not currently work with an API Token. API Tokens are currently only linked to an organization and an organization role. They cannot be given the permission of server admin, only users can be given that permission. So in order to use these API calls you will have to use Basic Auth and the Grafana user must have the Grafana Admin permission. (The default admin user is called admin and has permission to use this API.)
