InfluxDB Cells API

The Cells API from InfluxDB — 3 operation(s) for cells.

InfluxDB Cells API is one of 40 APIs that InfluxDB publishes on the APIs.io network, described by a machine-readable OpenAPI specification and an AsyncAPI event-driven specification.

Tagged areas include Cells. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes an OpenAPI specification, API documentation, an AsyncAPI specification, authentication docs, and a getting-started guide.

This API exposes 6 operations across 3 paths, and defines 63 schemas. It is described by OpenAPI 3.2.0.

Requests are made against the base URL https://cloud2.influxdata.com/api/v2.

Authentication & Security 2

InfluxDB Cells API declares 2 security schemes for authenticating requests. It accepts HTTP basic authentication (BasicAuthentication). An API key is passed in the header as Authorization (TokenAuthentication). By default, every request must be authenticated.

  • TokenAuthentication — Use the [Token authentication](section/Authentication/TokenAuthentication) scheme to authenticate to the InfluxDB API. In your API requests, send an Authorizat…

Paths & Operations 6

Across 3 paths, the API surfaces 6 operations — 1 DELETE, 1 GET, 2 PATCH, 1 POST, 1 PUT. Each is listed below with its method, path, parameters, and response codes.

Where this information came from

This is an independent, third-party profile of InfluxDB Cells 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.
