Installation

.. marker-install-start

InfluxDB python library uses RxPY <https://github.com/ReactiveX/RxPY>__ - The Reactive Extensions for Python (RxPY).

Python 3.6 or later is required.

.. note::

It is recommended to use ``ciso8601`` with client for parsing dates. ``ciso8601`` is much faster than built-in Python datetime. Since it's written as a ``C`` module the best way is build it from sources:

**Windows**:

You have to install `Visual C++ Build Tools 2015 <http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=691126&fixForIE=.exe>`_ to build ``ciso8601`` by ``pip``.

**conda**:

Install from sources: ``conda install -c conda-forge/label/cf202003 ciso8601``.

pip install ^^^^^^^^^^^

The python package is hosted on PyPI <https://pypi.org/project/influxdb-client/>_, you can install latest version directly:

.. code-block:: sh

pip install influxdb-client[ciso]

Then import the package:

.. code-block:: python

import influxdb_client

Setuptools ^^^^^^^^^^

Install via Setuptools <http://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools>_.

.. code-block:: sh

python setup.py install --user

(or sudo python setup.py install to install the package for all users)

.. marker-install-end

Getting Started

Please follow the Installation_ and then run the following:

.. marker-query-start

.. code-block:: python

from influxdb_client import InfluxDBClient, Point from influxdb_client.client.write_api import SYNCHRONOUS

bucket = "my-bucket"

client = InfluxDBClient(url="http://localhost:8086", token="my-token", org="my-org")

write_api = client.write_api(write_options=SYNCHRONOUS) query_api = client.query_api()

p = Point("my_measurement").tag("location", "Prague").field("temperature", 25.3)

write_api.write(bucket=bucket, record=p)

using Table structure

tables = query_api.query('from(bucket:"my-bucket") |> range(start: -10m)')

for table in tables: print(table) for row in table.records: print (row.values)

using csv library

csv_result = query_api.query_csv('from(bucket:"my-bucket") |> range(start: -10m)') val_count = 0 for row in csv_result: for cell in row: val_count += 1

.. marker-query-end

Client configuration

Via File ^^^^^^^^ A client can be configured via *.ini file in segment influx2.

The following options are supported:

• url - the url to connect to InfluxDB
• org - default destination organization for writes and queries
• token - the token to use for the authorization
• timeout - socket timeout in ms (default value is 10000)
• verify_ssl - set this to false to skip verifying SSL certificate when calling API from https server
• ssl_ca_cert - set this to customize the certificate file to verify the peer

.. code-block:: python

self.client = InfluxDBClient.from_config_file("config.ini")

.. code-block::

[influx2]
url=http://localhost:8086
org=my-org
token=my-token
timeout=6000
verify_ssl=False

Via Environment Properties ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ A client can be configured via environment properties.

Supported properties are:

• INFLUXDB_V2_URL - the url to connect to InfluxDB
• INFLUXDB_V2_ORG - default destination organization for writes and queries
• INFLUXDB_V2_TOKEN - the token to use for the authorization
• INFLUXDB_V2_TIMEOUT - socket timeout in ms (default value is 10000)
• INFLUXDB_V2_VERIFY_SSL - set this to false to skip verifying SSL certificate when calling API from https server
• INFLUXDB_V2_SSL_CA_CERT - set this to customize the certificate file to verify the peer

.. code-block:: python

self.client = InfluxDBClient.from_env_properties()

.. marker-index-end

How to use

Writes ^^^^^^ .. marker-writes-start

The WriteApi <https://github.com/influxdata/influxdb-client-python/blob/master/influxdb_client/client/write_api.py>_ supports synchronous, asynchronous and batching writes into InfluxDB 2.0. The data should be passed as a InfluxDB Line Protocol <https://docs.influxdata.com/influxdb/latest/write_protocols/line_protocol_tutorial/>\ , Data Point <https://github.com/influxdata/influxdb-client-python/blob/master/influxdb_client/client/write/point.py> or Observable stream.

Important: The WriteApi in batching mode (default mode) is suppose to run as a singleton. To flush all your data you should call _write_client.close() at the end of your script.

The default instance of WriteApi use batching.

The data could be written as """"""""""""""""""""""""""""

1. string or bytes that is formatted as a InfluxDB's line protocol
2. Data Point <https://github.com/influxdata/influxdb-client-python/blob/master/influxdb_client/client/write/point.py#L16>__ structure
3. Dictionary style mapping with keys: measurement, tags, fields and time
4. List of above items
5. A batching type of write also supports an Observable that produce one of an above item
6. Pandas DataFrame <https://pandas.pydata.org/pandas-docs/stable/reference/api/pandas.DataFrame.html>_

Batching """"""""

The batching is configurable by write_options\ :

.. list-table:: :header-rows: 1

• • Property
  • Description
  • Default Value
• • batch_size
  • the number of data pointx to collect in a batch
  • 1000
• • flush_interval
  • the number of milliseconds before the batch is written
  • 1000
• • jitter_interval
  • the number of milliseconds to increase the batch flush interval by a random amount
  • 0
• • retry_interval
  • the number of milliseconds to retry unsuccessful write. The retry interval is used when the InfluxDB server does not specify "Retry-After" header.
  • 5000
• • max_retries
  • the number of max retries when write fails
  • 3
• • max_retry_delay
  • the maximum delay between each retry attempt in milliseconds
  • 180_000
• • exponential_base
  • the base for the exponential retry delay, the next delay is computed as retry_interval * exponential_base^(attempts-1) + random(jitter_interval)
  • 5

Default Tags """"""""""""

Sometimes is useful to store same information in every measurement e.g. hostname, location, customer. The client is able to use static value or env property as a tag value.

The expressions:

• California Miner - static value
• ${env.hostname} - environment property

Via API

.. code-block:: python

point_settings = PointSettings()
point_settings.add_default_tag("id", "132-987-655")
point_settings.add_default_tag("customer", "California Miner")
point_settings.add_default_tag("data_center", "${env.data_center}")

self.write_client = self.client.write_api(write_options=SYNCHRONOUS, point_settings=point_settings)

.. code-block:: python

self.write_client = self.client.write_api(write_options=SYNCHRONOUS,
                                              point_settings=PointSettings(**{"id": "132-987-655",
                                                                              "customer": "California Miner"}))

Via Configuration file

In a init <https://docs.python.org/3/library/configparser.html>_ configuration file you are able to specify default tags by tags segment.

.. code-block:: python

self.client = InfluxDBClient.from_config_file("config.ini")

.. code-block::

[influx2]
url=http://localhost:8086
org=my-org
token=my-token
timeout=6000

[tags]
id = 132-987-655
customer = California Miner
data_center = ${env.data_center}

You could also use a TOML <https://toml.io/en/>_ format for the configuration file.

Via Environment Properties

You are able to specify default tags by environment properties with prefix INFLUXDB_V2_TAG_.

Examples:

• INFLUXDB_V2_TAG_ID
• INFLUXDB_V2_TAG_HOSTNAME

.. code-block:: python

self.client = InfluxDBClient.from_env_properties()

Asynchronous client """""""""""""""""""

Data are writes in an asynchronous HTTP request.

.. code-block:: python

from influxdb_client import InfluxDBClient, Point from influxdb_client.client.write_api import ASYNCHRONOUS

client = InfluxDBClient(url="http://localhost:8086", token="my-token", org="my-org") write_api = client.write_api(write_options=ASYNCHRONOUS)

_point1 = Point("my_measurement").tag("location", "Prague").field("temperature", 25.3) _point2 = Point("my_measurement").tag("location", "New York").field("temperature", 24.3)

async_result = write_api.write(bucket="my-bucket", record=[_point1, _point2]) async_result.get()

client.close()

Synchronous client """"""""""""""""""

Data are writes in a synchronous HTTP request.

.. code-block:: python

from influxdb_client import InfluxDBClient, Point from influxdb_client .client.write_api import SYNCHRONOUS

client = InfluxDBClient(url="http://localhost:8086", token="my-token", org="my-org") write_api = client.write_api(write_options=SYNCHRONOUS)

_point1 = Point("my_measurement").tag("location", "Prague").field("temperature", 25.3) _point2 = Point("my_measurement").tag("location", "New York").field("temperature", 24.3)

write_api.write(bucket="my-bucket", record=[_point1, _point2])

client.close()

.. marker-writes-end

Queries ^^^^^^^

The result retrieved by QueryApi <https://github.com/influxdata/influxdb-client-python/blob/master/influxdb_client/client/query_api.py>_ could be formatted as a:

1. Flux data structure: FluxTable <https://github.com/influxdata/influxdb-client-python/blob/master/influxdb_client/client/flux_table.py#L5>, FluxColumn <https://github.com/influxdata/influxdb-client-python/blob/master/influxdb_client/client/flux_table.py#L22> and FluxRecord <https://github.com/influxdata/influxdb-client-python/blob/master/influxdb_client/client/flux_table.py#L31>_
2. csv.reader <https://docs.python.org/3.4/library/csv.html#reader-objects>__ which will iterate over CSV lines
3. Raw unprocessed results as a str iterator
4. Pandas DataFrame <https://pandas.pydata.org/pandas-docs/stable/reference/api/pandas.DataFrame.html>_

The API also support streaming FluxRecord via query_stream <https://github.com/influxdata/influxdb-client-python/blob/master/influxdb_client/client/query_api.py#L77>_, see example below:

Connect to InfluxDB Cloud """"""""""""""""""""""""" The following example demonstrate a simplest way how to write and query date with the InfluxDB Cloud.

At first point you should create an authentication token as is described here <https://v2.docs.influxdata.com/v2.0/security/tokens/create-token/>_.

After that you should configure properties: influx_cloud_url, influx_cloud_token, bucket and org in a influx_cloud.py example.

The last step is run a python script via: python3 influx_cloud.py.

Advanced Usage

Gzip support ^^^^^^^^^^^^ .. marker-gzip-start

InfluxDBClient does not enable gzip compression for http requests by default. If you want to enable gzip to reduce transfer data's size, you can call:

.. code-block:: python

from influxdb_client import InfluxDBClient

_db_client = InfluxDBClient(url="http://localhost:8086", token="my-token", org="my-org", enable_gzip=True)

.. marker-gzip-end

Delete data ^^^^^^^^^^^ .. marker-delete-start

The delete_api.py <influxdb_client/client/delete_api.py>_ supports deletes points <https://v2.docs.influxdata.com/v2.0/reference/glossary/#point>_ from an InfluxDB bucket.

.. code-block:: python

from influxdb_client import InfluxDBClient

client = InfluxDBClient(url="http://localhost:8086", token="my-token")

delete_api = client.delete_api()

"""
Delete Data
"""
start = "1970-01-01T00:00:00Z"
stop = "2021-02-01T00:00:00Z"
delete_api.delete(start, stop, '_measurement="my_measurement"', bucket='my-bucket', org='my-org')

"""
Close client
"""
client.close()

.. marker-delete-end

InfluxDB 1.8 API compatibility ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

InfluxDB 1.8.0 introduced forward compatibility APIs <https://docs.influxdata.com/influxdb/v1.8/tools/api/#influxdb-2-0-api-compatibility-endpoints>_ for InfluxDB 2.0. This allow you to easily move from InfluxDB 1.x to InfluxDB 2.0 Cloud or open source.

The following forward compatible APIs are available:

======================================================= ==================================================================================================== ======= API Endpoint Description ======================================================= ==================================================================================================== ======= query_api.py <influxdb_client/client/query_api.py>_ /api/v2/query <https://docs.influxdata.com/influxdb/latest/tools/api/#api-v2-query-http-endpoint>_ Query data in InfluxDB 1.8.0+ using the InfluxDB 2.0 API and Flux <https://docs.influxdata.com/flux/latest/>_ (endpoint should be enabled by flux-enabled option <https://docs.influxdata.com/influxdb/v1.8/administration/config/#flux-enabled-false>) write_api.py <influxdb_client/client/write_api.py> /api/v2/write <https://docs.influxdata.com/influxdb/latest/tools/api/#api-v2-write-http-endpoint>_ Write data to InfluxDB 1.8.0+ using the InfluxDB 2.0 API health() <influxdb_client/client/influxdb_client.py>_ /health <https://docs.influxdata.com/influxdb/latest/tools/api/#health-http-endpointt>_ Check the health of your InfluxDB instance ======================================================= ==================================================================================================== =======

For detail info see InfluxDB 1.8 example <examples/influxdb_18_example.py>_.

HTTP Retry Strategy ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ By default the client uses a retry strategy only for batching writes (for more info see Batching_). For other HTTP requests there is no one retry strategy, but it could be configured by retries parameter of InfluxDBClient.

For more info about how configure HTTP retry see details in urllib3 documentation <https://urllib3.readthedocs.io/en/latest/reference/index.html?highlight=retry#urllib3.Retry>_.

.. code-block:: python

from urllib3 import Retry

from influxdb_client import InfluxDBClient

retries = Retry(connect=5, read=2, redirect=5)
client = InfluxDBClient(url="http://localhost:8086", token="my-token", org="my-org", retries=retries)

Nanosecond precision ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

The Python's datetime <https://docs.python.org/3/library/datetime.html>_ doesn't support precision with nanoseconds so the library during writes and queries ignores everything after microseconds.

If you would like to use datetime with nanosecond precision you should use pandas.Timestamp <https://pandas.pydata.org/pandas-docs/stable/reference/api/pandas.Timestamp.html#pandas.Timestamp>_ that is replacement for python datetime.datetime object and also you should set a proper DateTimeHelper to the client.

• sources - nanosecond_precision.py <https://github.com/influxdata/influxdb-client-python/blob/master/examples/nanosecond_precision.py>_

.. code-block:: python

from influxdb_client import Point, InfluxDBClient
from influxdb_client.client.util.date_utils_pandas import PandasDateTimeHelper
from influxdb_client.client.write_api import SYNCHRONOUS

"""
Set PandasDate helper which supports nanoseconds.
"""
import influxdb_client.client.util.date_utils as date_utils

date_utils.date_helper = PandasDateTimeHelper()

"""

"""
client = InfluxDBClient(url="http://localhost:8086", token="my-token", org="my-org")

write_api = client.write_api(write_options=SYNCHRONOUS)
query_api = client.query_api()

"""

point = Point("h2o_feet") \
    .field("water_level", 10) \
    .tag("location", "pacific") \
    .time('1996-02-25T21:20:00.001001231Z')

print(f'Time serialized with nanosecond precision: {point.to_line_protocol()}')
print()

write_api.write(bucket="my-bucket", record=point)

"""

for record in records:
    print(f'Temperature in {record["location"]} is {record["_value"]} at time: {record["_time"]}')
