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]({{< relref "../../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]({{< relref "/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]({{< relref "/administration/roles-and-permissions/access-control/manage-rbac-roles/" >}}) given a username of user and password of password, use:
curl --location --request GET '<grafana_url>/api/access-control/builtin-roles' --header 'Authorization: Basic dXNlcjpwYXNzd29yZAo='
where dXNlcjpwYXNzd29yZAo= is the base64 encoding of user:password.
