Grafana Library Elements 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. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes an OpenAPI specification, API documentation, and authentication docs.

The identifier (ID) of a library element is an auto-incrementing numeric value that is unique per Grafana install. The unique identifier (UID) of a library element uniquely identifies library elements between multiple Grafana installs. It’s automatically generated unless you specify it during library element creation. The UID provides consistent URLs for accessing library elements and when syncing library elements between multiple Grafana installs. The maximum length of a UID is 40 characters.
