   **This project is no longer in development**

   

   This v1 client library is for interacting with `InfluxDB 1.x `_ and 1.x-compatible endpoints in `InfluxDB 2.x `_.

   Use it to:

   

   - Write data in line protocol.

   - Query data with `InfluxQL `_.



   If you use `InfluxDB 2.x (TSM storage engine) `_ and `Flux `_, see the `v2 client library `_.



   If you use `InfluxDB 3.0 `_, see the `v3 client library `_.



   For new projects, consider using InfluxDB 3.0 and v3 client libraries.



Description

===========



InfluxDB-python, the InfluxDB Python Client (1.x), is a client library for interacting with `InfluxDB 1.x `_ instances.



.. _readme-about:



`InfluxDB`_ is the time series platform designed to handle high write and query loads.



.. _installation:



For InfluxDB pre-v1.1.0 users

-----------------------------



This module is tested with InfluxDB versions v1.2.4, v1.3.9, v1.4.3, v1.5.4, v1.6.4, and 1.7.4.



Users on InfluxDB v0.8.x may still use the legacy client by importing ``from influxdb.influxdb08 import InfluxDBClient``.



For InfluxDB v1.1+ users

------------------------



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



Dependencies

------------



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

-------------



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



You will need Sphinx_ installed to generate the documentation.



The documentation can be generated by running::



    $ tox -e docs



Generated documentation can be found in the *docs/build/html/* directory.



Examples

--------



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))



Testing

-------



Make sure you have tox by running the following::



    $ pip install tox



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



    $ tox

Development

-----------



The v1 client libraries for InfluxDB 1.x were typically developed and maintained by InfluxDB community members. If you are an InfluxDB v1 user interested in maintaining this client library (at a minimum, keeping it updated with security patches) please contact the InfluxDB team at on the `Community Forums `_ or

`InfluxData Slack `_.



All development is done on Github_. Use Issues_ to report

problems or submit contributions.
