InfluxData

InfluxData is the company behind InfluxDB, the leading open source time series database purpose-built for real-time analytics, monitoring, IoT and sensor data, application metrics, and observability workloads. InfluxDB ingests millions of data points per second and ships as open source (InfluxDB OSS), a fully managed multi-cloud service (InfluxDB Cloud), and dedicated/clustered offerings. The platform exposes a REST /api/v2 HTTP API for writing line-protocol data, querying with Flux and InfluxQL/SQL, and managing buckets, organizations, tasks, API tokens, and dashboards, alongside official client libraries, the influx CLI, and the Telegraf collection agent.

InfluxData publishes 2 APIs on the APIs.io network: InfluxDB Cloud API and InfluxDB OSS API. Tagged areas include Time Series Database, Database, Monitoring, Observability, and IoT.

InfluxData’s developer surface includes authentication, documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, support, engineering blog, pricing, and 28 more developer resources.
