InfluxData Templates API

Export and apply InfluxDB **templates**.Manage **stacks** of templated InfluxDB resources.InfluxDB templates are prepackaged configurations for resources.Use InfluxDB templates to configure a fresh instance of InfluxDB,back up your dashboard configuration, or share your configuration.Use the `/api/v2/templates` endpoints to export templates and apply templates.**InfluxDB stacks** are stateful InfluxDB templates that let youadd, update, and remove installed template resources over time, avoid duplicatingresources when applying the same or similar templates more than once, andapply changes to distributed instances of InfluxDB OSS or InfluxDB Cloud.Use the `/api/v2/stacks` endpoints to manage installed template resources.### Related guides- [InfluxDB stacks](https://docs.influxdata.com/influxdb/cloud/influxdb-templates/stacks/)- [InfluxDB templates](https://docs.influxdata.com/influxdb/cloud/influxdb-templates/)

Where this information came from

This is an independent, third-party profile of InfluxData Templates API, published by API Evangelist. We do not operate, host, resell, or support these APIs, and we are not affiliated with or endorsed by the company unless stated above. Everything here is built from publicly available information — the company's own site, developer portal, documentation, public repositories, and the specifications it publishes for public use. Nothing is obtained by breaching a system, defeating an access control, or using credentials.

The Kin Score and Agent Readiness rating are independently calculated assessments of a company's public API artifacts, scored against a published rubric. They are not certifications, endorsements, security assessments, or audits.

Corrections, re-scores, and removal are free — no partnership or purchase required, and you do not need to justify the request. A removed company is recorded as unrated, never scored zero for having asked. Acknowledgement within one business day; removal within two.
