# Dashboard API
## Identifier (id) vs unique identifier (uid)
The identifier (id) of a dashboard is an auto-incrementing numeric value and is only unique per Grafana install.
The unique identifier (uid) of a dashboard can be used for uniquely identify a dashboard between multiple Grafana installs.
It's automatically generated if not provided when creating a dashboard. The uid allows having consistent URLs for accessing
dashboards and when syncing dashboards between multiple Grafana installs, see [dashboard provisioning]({{< relref "../../administration/provisioning.md#dashboards" >}})
for more information. This means that changing the title of a dashboard will not break any bookmarked links to that dashboard.
The uid can have a maximum length of 40 characters.
## Create / Update dashboard
`POST /api/dashboards/db`
Creates a new dashboard or updates an existing dashboard. When updating existing dashboards, if you do not define the `folderId` or the `folderUid` property, then the dashboard(s) are moved to the General folder. (You need to define only one property, not both).
**Example Request for new dashboard**:
```http
POST /api/dashboards/db HTTP/1.1
Accept: application/json
Content-Type: application/json
Authorization: Bearer eyJrIjoiT0tTcG1pUlY2RnVKZTFVaDFsNFZXdE9ZWmNrMkZYbk
{
"dashboard": {
"id": null,
"uid": null,
"title": "Production Overview",
"tags": [ "templated" ],
"timezone": "browser",
"schemaVersion": 16,
"version": 0,
"refresh": "25s"
},
"folderId": 0,
"folderUid": "l3KqBxCMz",
"message": "Made changes to xyz",
"overwrite": false
}
```
JSON Body schema:
- **dashboard** The complete dashboard model, id = null to create a new dashboard.
- **dashboard.id** id = null to create a new dashboard.
- **dashboard.uid** Optional unique identifier when creating a dashboard. uid = null will generate a new uid.
- **folderId** The id of the folder to save the dashboard in.
- **folderUid** The UID of the folder to save the dashboard in. Overrides the `folderId`.
- **overwrite** Set to true if you want to overwrite existing dashboard with newer version, same dashboard title in folder or same dashboard uid.
- **message** - Set a commit message for the version history.
- **refresh** - Set the dashboard refresh interval. If this is lower than [the minimum refresh interval]({{< relref "../../administration/configuration.md#min_refresh_interval" >}}), then Grafana will ignore it and will enforce the minimum refresh interval.
For adding or updating an alert rule for a dashboard panel the user should declare a
`dashboard.panels.alert` block.
**Example Request for updating dashboard alert rule**:

**Example Response**:
```http
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Type: application/json; charset=UTF-8
Content-Length: 78
{
"id": 1,
"uid": "cIBgcSjkk",
"url": "/d/cIBgcSjkk/production-overview",
"status": "success",
"version": 1,
"slug": "production-overview" //deprecated in Grafana v5.0
}
```
Status Codes:
- **200** Created
- **400** Errors (invalid json, missing or invalid fields, etc)
- **401** Unauthorized
- **403** Access denied
- **412** Precondition failed
The **412** status code is used for explaining that you cannot create the dashboard and why.
There can be different reasons for this:
- The dashboard has been changed by someone else, `status=version-mismatch`
- A dashboard with the same name in the folder already exists, `status=name-exists`
- A dashboard with the same uid already exists, `status=name-exists`
- The dashboard belongs to plugin `<plugin title>`, `status=plugin-dashboard`
The response body will have the following properties:
```http
HTTP/1.1 412 Precondition Failed
Content-Type: application/json; charset=UTF-8
Content-Length: 97
{
"message": "The dashboard has been changed by someone else",
"status": "version-mismatch"
}
```
In case of title already exists the `status` property will be `name-exists`.
