The v1 client libraries for InfluxDB were typically developed and maintained by community members. For InfluxDB 3.0 users, this library is succeeded by the lightweight v3 client library.

If there are still users of this v1 client library, and they or somebody else are willing to keep them updated with security fixes at a minimum please reach out on the Community Forums or InfluxData Slack.

InfluxDB-Python

https://travis-ci.org/influxdata/influxdb-python.svg?branch=master

InfluxDB-Python is a client for interacting with InfluxDB.

Note: This library is for use with InfluxDB 1.x. For connecting to InfluxDB 2.x instances, please use the the influxdb-client-python client.

Development of this library is maintained by:

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

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.

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

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/.

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:
