grafana_api

What is this library for?

Yet another Grafana API library for Python. Support Python 3 only.

Requirements

You need Python 3 and only the requests library installed.

Quick start

Install the pip package:

pip install -U grafana_api

And then connect to your Grafana API endpoint:

from grafana_api.grafana_face import GrafanaFace

grafana_api = GrafanaFace(auth='abcde....', host='api.my-grafana-host.com')

# Create user
user = grafana_api.admin.create_user({"name": "User", "email": "[email protected]", "login": "user", "password": "userpassword", "OrgId": 1})

# Change user password
user = grafana_api.admin.change_user_password(2, "newpassword")

# Search dashboards based on tag
grafana_api.search.search_dashboards(tag='applications')

# Find a user by email
user = grafana_api.users.find_user('[email protected]')

# Add user to team 2
grafana_api.teams.add_team_member(2, user["id"])

# Create or update a dashboard
grafana_api.dashboard.update_dashboard(dashboard={'dashboard': {...}, 'folderId': 0, 'overwrite': True})

# Delete a dashboard by UID
grafana_api.dashboard.delete_dashboard(dashboard_uid='abcdefgh')

# Create organization
grafana_api.organization.create_organization({"name":"new_organization"})

Authentication

There are two ways to autheticate to grafana api. Either use api token or basic auth.

To use admin API you need to use basic auth as stated here

# Use basic authentication:

grafana_api = GrafanaFace(
          auth=("username","password"),
          host='api.my-grafana-host.com'
          )

# Use token
grafana_api = GrafanaFace(
          auth='abcdetoken...',
          host='api.my-grafana-host.com'
          )
