Frontend Settings API

Caution

Starting in Grafana 13, /api endpoints are being deprecated. This change doesn’t disrupt or break your current setup: legacy APIs are not being disabled and remain fully accessible and operative. However, /api routes will no longer be updated and will be removed in a future major release.

To learn more refer to the new API structure in Grafana.
