# Data source API
## Get all data sources
`GET /api/datasources`
**Example Request**:
```http
GET /api/datasources HTTP/1.1
Accept: application/json
Content-Type: application/json
Authorization: Bearer eyJrIjoiT0tTcG1pUlY2RnVKZTFVaDFsNFZXdE9ZWmNrMkZYbk
```
**Example Response**:
```http
HTTP/1.1 200
Content-Type: application/json
```
## Get a single data source by Id
`GET /api/datasources/:datasourceId`
**Example Request**:
```http
GET /api/datasources/1 HTTP/1.1
Accept: application/json
Content-Type: application/json
Authorization: Bearer eyJrIjoiT0tTcG1pUlY2RnVKZTFVaDFsNFZXdE9ZWmNrMkZYbk
```
**Example Response**:
```http
HTTP/1.1 200
Content-Type: application/json
```
## Get a single data source by UID
`GET /api/datasources/uid/:uid`
**Example request:**
```http
GET /api/datasources/uid/kLtEtcRGk HTTP/1.1
Accept: application/json
Content-Type: application/json
Authorization: Bearer eyJrIjoiT0tTcG1pUlY2RnVKZTFVaDFsNFZXdE9ZWmNrMkZYbk
```
**Example Response**:
```http
HTTP/1.1 200
Content-Type: application/json
```
## Get a single data source by Name
`GET /api/datasources/name/:name`
**Example Request**:
```http
GET /api/datasources/name/test_datasource HTTP/1.1
Accept: application/json
Content-Type: application/json
Authorization: Bearer eyJrIjoiT0tTcG1pUlY2RnVKZTFVaDFsNFZXdE9ZWmNrMkZYbk
```
**Example Response**:
```http
HTTP/1.1 200
Content-Type: application/json
```
## Get data source Id by Name
`GET /api/datasources/id/:name`
**Example Request**:
```http
GET /api/datasources/id/test_datasource HTTP/1.1
Accept: application/json
Content-Type: application/json
Authorization: Bearer eyJrIjoiT0tTcG1pUlY2RnVKZTFVaDFsNFZXdE9ZWmNrMkZYbk
```
**Example Response**:
```http
HTTP/1.1 200
Content-Type: application/json
```
## Create a data source
`POST /api/datasources`
**Example Graphite Request**:
```http
POST /api/datasources HTTP/1.1
Accept: application/json
Content-Type: application/json
Authorization: Bearer eyJrIjoiT0tTcG1pUlY2RnVKZTFVaDFsNFZXdE9ZWmNrMkZYbk
```
**Example Graphite Response**:
```http
HTTP/1.1 200
Content-Type: application/json
```
> **Note:** By defining `password` and `basicAuthPassword` under `secureJsonData` Grafana encrypts them securely as an encrypted blob in the database. The response then lists the encrypted fields under `secureJsonFields`.
**Example Graphite Request with basic auth enabled**:
```http
POST /api/datasources HTTP/1.1
Accept: application/json
Content-Type: application/json
Authorization: Bearer eyJrIjoiT0tTcG1pUlY2RnVKZTFVaDFsNFZXdE9ZWmNrMkZYbk
```
**Example Response with basic auth enabled**:
```http
HTTP/1.1 200
Content-Type: application/json
```
**Example CloudWatch Request**:
```http
POST /api/datasources HTTP/1.1
Accept: application/json
Content-Type: application/json
Authorization: Bearer eyJrIjoiT0tTcG1pUlY2RnVKZTFVaDFsNFZXdE9ZWmNrMkZYbk
```
## Update an existing data source
`PUT /api/datasources/:datasourceId`
**Example Request**:
```http
PUT /api/datasources/1 HTTP/1.1
Accept: application/json
Content-Type: application/json
Authorization: Bearer eyJrIjoiT0tTcG1pUlY2RnVKZTFVaDFsNFZXdE9ZWmNrMkZYbk
```
**Example Response**:
```http
HTTP/1.1 200
Content-Type: application/json
```
> **Note:** Similar to [creating a data source](#create-a-data-source), `password` and `basicAuthPassword` should be defined under `secureJsonData` in order to be stored securely as an encrypted blob in the database. Then, the encrypted fields are listed under `secureJsonFields` section in the response.
## Delete an existing data source by id
`DELETE /api/datasources/:datasourceId`
**Example Request**:
```http
DELETE /api/datasources/1 HTTP/1.1
Accept: application/json
Content-Type: application/json
Authorization: Bearer eyJrIjoiT0tTcG1pUlY2RnVKZTFVaDFsNFZXdE9ZWmNrMkZYbk
```
**Example Response**:
```http
HTTP/1.1 200
Content-Type: application/json
```
## Delete an existing data source by UID
`DELETE /api/datasources/uid/:uid`
**Example request:**
```http
DELETE /api/datasources/uid/kLtEtcRGk HTTP/1.1
Accept: application/json
Content-Type: application/json
Authorization: Bearer eyJrIjoiT0tTcG1pUlY2RnVKZTFVaDFsNFZXdE9ZWmNrMkZYbk
```
**Example response**:
```http
HTTP/1.1 200
Content-Type: application/json
```
## Delete an existing data source by name
`DELETE /api/datasources/name/:datasourceName`
**Example Request**:
```http
DELETE /api/datasources/name/test_datasource HTTP/1.1
Accept: application/json
Content-Type: application/json
Authorization: Bearer eyJrIjoiT0tTcG1pUlY2RnVKZTFVaDFsNFZXdE9ZWmNrMkZYbk
```
**Example Response**:
```http
HTTP/1.1 200
Content-Type: application/json
```
## Data source proxy calls
`GET /api/datasources/proxy/:datasourceId/*`
Proxies all calls to the actual data source.
## Query a data source by ID
Queries a data source having backend implementation.
`POST /api/tsdb/query`
> **Note:** Most of Grafana's builtin data sources have backend implementation.
**Example Request**:
```http
POST /api/tsdb/query HTTP/1.1
Accept: application/json
Content-Type: application/json
```
> **Note:** The `from`, `to`, and `queries` properties are required.
JSON Body schema:
- **from/to** Should be either absolute in epoch timestamps in milliseconds or relative using Grafana time units. For example, `now-1h`.
- **queries.refId** Specifies an identifier of the query. Is optional and default to "A".
- **queries.datasourceId** Specifies the data source to be queried. Each `query` in the request must have an unique `datasourceId`.
- **queries.maxDataPoints** - Species maximum amount of data points that dashboard panel can render. Is optional and default to 100.
- **queries.intervalMs** - Specifies the time interval in milliseconds of time series. Is optional and defaults to 1000.
In addition, each data source has its own specific properties that should be added in a request.
**Example request for the MySQL data source:**
```http
POST /api/tsdb/query HTTP/1.1
Accept: application/json
Content-Type: application/json
```
**Example MySQL time series query response:**
```http
HTTP/1.1 200
Content-Type: application/json
```
