Prometheus Client Libraries is one of 14 APIs that [Prometheus](https://apis.io/providers/prometheus/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network. Tagged areas include Client Libraries, Instrumentation, Metrics, and SDK. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes API documentation and an API reference.

Prometheus provides official client libraries for Go, Java/Scala, Python, Ruby, and Rust that enable application instrumentation. Libraries implement the Prometheus metric types (Counter, Gauge, Histogram, Summary) and expose metrics via an HTTP endpoint for Prometheus to scrape.
