API keys

Organization admins must create an API key from the Settings page.

Python client

Note: As of v0.5.0, all methods require the use of keyword arguments.

Foxglove provides a Python client library (py-data-platform) to more easily interact with the Foxglove API.

See specific examples for each endpoint in the API reference.

from foxglove_data_platform.client import Client

token = "<YOUR API TOKEN HERE>"
client = Client(token=token)
