HTTP API reference

The Grafana backend exposes an HTTP API, which is the same API that is used by the frontend to do everything from saving dashboards, creating users, and updating data sources.

Since version 8.4, HTTP API details are specified using OpenAPI v2.

Starting from version 9.1, there is also a OpenAPI v3 specification (generated by the v2 one).
