Go and InfluxDB

Build IoT, analytics, and cloud applications using the Go client library with InfluxDB.

Why use the InfluxDB Go Client Library?

InfluxDB is an API-first time series database for your Go lang applications. Use the InfluxDB open-source Go API client to write and query data and even manage your InfluxDB instance from within your application.

Key features

• Provides API access to all InfluxDB Write and Read functionality, settings, and advanced features like managing your instance,
• Write data in InfluxDB line protocol or point data structure
• Write data both asynchronously or synchronously
• Automatically retry requests on failure
• Parameterized queries (InfluxDB Cloud only)
• Checking the state of your server
  • Health - Detailed info about the server status, along with version string (OSS)
  • Ready - Server uptime info (OSS)
  • Ping - Whether a server is up
