# cURL examples
This page provides examples of calls to the Grafana API using cURL.
The most basic example for a dashboard for which there is no authentication. You can test the following on your local machine, assuming a default installation and anonymous access enabled, required:
```
curl http://localhost:3000/api/search
```
Here's a cURL command that works for getting the home dashboard when you are running Grafana locally with [basic authentication](/docs/grafana/latest/setup-grafana/configure-security/configure-authentication/#basic-auth) enabled using the default admin credentials:
```
curl http://admin:admin@localhost:3000/api/search
```
To pass a username and password with [HTTP basic authorization](/docs/grafana/latest/administration/roles-and-permissions/access-control/manage-rbac-roles/), encode them as base64.
You can't use authorization tokens in the request.
For example, to [list permissions associated with roles](/docs/grafana/latest/administration/roles-and-permissions/access-control/manage-rbac-roles/) given a username of `user` and password of `password`, use:
```
curl --location '<grafana_url>/api/access-control/builtin-roles' --user 'user:password'
```
