Prometheus Remote Write API is one of 14 APIs that [Prometheus](https://apis.io/providers/prometheus/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network. Tagged areas include Integration, Remote Write, Storage, and Time Series. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes API documentation.

The Prometheus Remote Write API defines a standard protocol for sending time series data from Prometheus or compatible agents to remote storage backends via HTTP POST with Snappy-compressed protobuf payloads. The specification documents the wire format, required headers, and retry semantics for interoperable remote write implementations.
