# Metrics Endpoint reference

Reference setups for how to configure a scrape job in the [Metrics Endpoint integration](https://grafana.com/docs/grafana-cloud/observe-and-act/monitor-infrastructure/integrations/integration-reference/integration-metrics-endpoint) for a specific third-party service. Each setup gives you the endpoint URL, authentication method, and scrape interval to use, how to check metrics are arriving, and troubleshooting tips.

## About the Metrics Endpoint integration

The Metrics Endpoint integration scrapes any publicly accessible, HTTPS, Prometheus or OpenMetrics compatible URL and stores the metrics in Grafana Cloud, without requiring any additional infrastructure. Each URL you scrape is configured as a scrape job. The URL must require authentication, using either Basic or Bearer token authentication.

The reference setups on this page apply the general configuration described in the [Metrics Endpoint integration reference](https://grafana.com/docs/grafana-cloud/observe-and-act/monitor-infrastructure/integrations/integration-reference/integration-metrics-endpoint) to a specific service. Refer to that page for prerequisites and troubleshooting that apply to every scrape job.

## Find the Metrics Endpoint integration in Grafana Cloud

To open the Metrics Endpoint integration and create a scrape job:

1. In your Grafana Cloud stack, click **Connections** in the left-hand menu.
2. Find and select the **Metrics Endpoint** tile to open the integration.
3. Follow the settings in the reference setup for your service to create a scrape job.
