Grafana HTTP API is one of 20 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 Observability, Grafana, Dashboards, and HTTP API. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes API documentation, an OpenAPI specification, and authentication docs.

The full Grafana HTTP API surface for self-managed Grafana and Grafana Enterprise. Covers dashboards, folders, data sources, organizations, users, teams, service accounts, API keys, access control (RBAC), preferences, library elements, annotations, snapshots, short URLs, query history, alerting provisioning, correlations, SSO settings, and admin operations. The canonical OpenAPI 2.0 specification is published as `public/api-merged.json` in the grafana/grafana repository and powers the official grafana-openapi-client-go SDK and the terraform-provider-grafana resources.
