Python and InfluxDB

Build IoT, analytics, and cloud applications using the Python client library with InfluxDB.

Why use the InfluxDB Python Client Library?

InfluxDB is an API-first time series database for your Python applications. Use the InfluxDB open-source Python API client to write and query data into your applications and even manage your InfluxDB instance from within your app.

Key features

• Provides API access to all InfluxDB Write and Read functionality, settings, and advanced features
• Write data in InfluxDB line protocol, point data structure, or as a pandas dataframe
• Easily configure timeouts, delays, and request retries
• Batch data to InfluxDB to gain greater efficiency
• Return InfluxDB data as a Flux Table Structure, string, csv, stream, or dataframe
• Panda dataframe integration

 from datetime import datetime from influxdb_client import WritePrecision, InfluxDBClient, Point from influxdb_client.client.write_api import SYNCHRONOUS url = 'https://us-west-2-1.aws.cloud2.influxdata.com' token = 'my-token' org = 'my-org' bucket = 'my-bucket' with InfluxDBClient(url=url, token=token, org=org) as client: p = Point("weatherstation") \ .tag("location", "San Francisco") \ .field("temperature", 25.9) \ .time(datetime.utcnow(), WritePrecision.MS) with client.write_api(write_options=SYNCHRONOUS) as write_api: write_api.write(bucket=bucket, record=p)
