Grafana API SDK

The repository includes an SDK for the Grafana API. It's possible to interact with all publicly available Grafana HTTP API endpoints.

Differences between grafana-client, grafana_api and the grafana_api_sdk

The grafana-client is only a fork of the non-maintained grafana_api repository. In general, the grafana-client project started at the same time, as I started this project. The corresponding SDK is a completely new project based on nonother projects and includes a few features that are currently not implemented inside the grafana-client.

The core features that are implemented inside this library:

• All public Grafana API (HTTP) endpoints are supported
• Full API support for Grafana legacy alerting, current alerting, alerting channels, and alert provisioning
• Possibility to specify custom and self-signed certificates
• HTTP/2 support

In general, my focus on this project is to implement and deliver old and new features from the Grafana API, to document all features and functionality clear,ly and to increase the overall test coverage of the project.

Installation

Please be aware to not install the grafana-api and grafana-api-sdk packages in parallel and the same environment. This result in name clashes, and it's not possible to use the Grafana API SDK.

pip install grafana-api-sdk

Example

import json

from grafana_api.model import APIModel
from grafana_api.dashboard import Dashboard

model: APIModel = APIModel(host="test", token="test")

dashboard: Dashboard = Dashboard(model)

with open("/tmp/test/test.json") as file:
    json_dashboard = json.load(file)

dashboard.create_or_update_dashboard(message="Create a new test dashboard", dashboard_json=json_dashboard, dashboard_path="test")

TLS/ mTLS

It is possible to pass a custom ssl_context to the underlying library to perform the requests to the HTTP API. For this step and to support custom TLS/ mTLS, there is an option to inject the Python ssl_context. More information can be found here and a dummy TLS/ mTLS implementation below.

TLS

import ssl

from grafana_api.model import APIModel

ssl_ctx = ssl.create_default_context(
    ssl.Purpose.SERVER_AUTH,
    cafile="/test/path/ca.crt"
)
ssl_ctx.verify_mode = ssl.CERT_REQUIRED

model: APIModel = APIModel(host="test", token="test", ssl_context=ssl_ctx)

mTLS

import ssl

from grafana_api.model import APIModel

ssl_ctx = ssl.create_default_context(
    ssl.Purpose.SERVER_AUTH,
    cafile="/test/path/ca.crt",
)
ssl_ctx.verify_mode = ssl.CERT_REQUIRED
ssl_ctx.load_cert_chain(certfile="/test/path/client.crt", keyfile="/test/path/client.key",)

model: APIModel = APIModel(host="test", token="test", ssl_context=ssl_ctx)

Templating

If you want to template your JSON document based on a predefined folder structure you can check out one of my other project and integrate the functionality inside your code.

Donations

If you would like to support my work, I ask you to take an unusual action inside the open source community. Donate the money to a non-profit organization like Doctors Without Borders or the Children's Cancer Aid.
