Grafana API Python SDK

The repository includes a Python SDK for the Grafana API. It’s possible to communicate with the Grafana API endpoints. Another feature of the SDK is the possibility to specify the used folder for the dashboard.

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 and based on non-other project and include a few features that are currently not implemented inside the grafana-client.

The main feature that is implemented inside this library:

• Grafana V8 Alerting API support (possibility to communicate (currently read only) with the attached Prometheus and Alertmanager)

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