      summary: Grafana Call Datasource Resource With UID
      description: This API operation enables clients to interact with a specific datasource in Grafana by making GET requests to custom resource endpoints exposed by that datasource. It uses the datasource's unique identifier (UID) rather than its numeric ID to route requests through Grafana's proxy to the underlying datasource's resource paths. The operation accepts a variable datasource_proxy_route parameter that allows accessing different resource endpoints specific to the datasource type, effectively acting as a proxy layer that handles authentication and request forwarding while maintaining Grafana's security context. This is particularly useful for datasource plugins that expose additional REST endpoints beyond standard query interfaces, allowing frontend applications to fetch metadata, configuration options, or other supplementary data from the datasource through Grafana's unified API.

      summary: Grafana Call Datasource Resource By ID
      description: This API operation allows you to make GET requests to a specific Grafana datasource's custom resources by providing the datasource ID and a resource route path. It acts as a proxy that forwards requests to the underlying datasource plugin's resource handler, enabling access to datasource-specific endpoints and functionality that may not be covered by standard Grafana APIs. The datasource_proxy_route parameter is a wildcard path that gets passed through to the datasource's backend, allowing flexible interaction with various datasource capabilities such as querying metadata, retrieving schema information, or accessing custom features exposed by the particular datasource plugin.
