JavaScript and InfluxDB

Get Started

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

Why use the InfluxDB JavaScript Client Library?

InfluxDB is an API-first time series database for your JavaScript applications. Use the InfluxDB open-source JavaScript API client to write and query data in Node.js, browser, and Deno environments 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
• Write data in InfluxDB line protocol or point data structure
• Automatically retry requests on failure
• Batch data to InfluxDB to gain greater efficiency
• Return InfluxDB data as a Flux Table Structure, string, csv, stream, or dataframe
• Delete data from a particular bucket
• Invoke a Flux script
• Create and manage your environment (buckets, tasks, authorization, source)
