InfluxDB-Python is a client for interacting withInfluxDB.

Development of this library is maintained by:

InfluxDB is an open-source distributed time series database, find more aboutInfluxDB athttps://docs.influxdata.com/influxdb/latest

This module is tested with InfluxDB versions: v1.2.4, v1.3.9, v1.4.3, v1.5.4, v1.6.4, v1.7.4 and v1.8.5.

Those users still on InfluxDB v0.8.x users may still use the legacy client by importingfrom influxdb.influxdb08 import InfluxDBClient.

Install, upgrade and uninstall influxdb-python with these commands:

$ pip install influxdb$ pip install --upgrade influxdb$ pip uninstall influxdb

On Debian/Ubuntu, you can install it with this command:

$ sudo apt-get install python-influxdb

The influxdb-python distribution is supported and tested on Python 2.7, 3.5, 3.6, 3.7, 3.8, PyPy and PyPy3.

Note: Python <3.5 are currently untested. See.travis.yml.

Main dependency is:

• Requests: HTTP library for human beings (http://docs.python-requests.org/)

Additional dependencies are:

• pandas: for writing from and reading to DataFrames (http://pandas.pydata.org/)
• Sphinx: Tool to create and manage the documentation (http://sphinx-doc.org/)
• Nose: to auto-discover tests (http://nose.readthedocs.org/en/latest/)
• Mock: to mock tests (https://pypi.python.org/pypi/mock)

Documentation is available athttps://influxdb-python.readthedocs.io/en/latest/.

You will needSphinx installed to generate the documentation.

The documentation can be generated by running:

$ tox -e docs

Generated documentation can be found in thedocs/build/html/ directory.

Here's a basic example (for more see the examples directory):

$ python>>> from influxdb import InfluxDBClient>>> json_body = [    {        "measurement": "cpu_load_short",        "tags": {            "host": "server01",            "region": "us-west"        },        "time": "2009-11-10T23:00:00Z",        "fields": {            "value": 0.64        }    }]>>> client = InfluxDBClient('localhost', 8086, 'root', 'root', 'example')>>> client.create_database('example')>>> client.write_points(json_body)>>> result = client.query('select value from cpu_load_short;')>>> print("Result: {0}".format(result))

Make sure you have tox by running the following:

$ pip install tox

To test influxdb-python with multiple version of Python, you can useTox:

$ tox
