Installation instructions

Access the Exorde API

First, to use the Exorde API, you need to create an account on Exorde developers portal. You’ll get 1000 free credits and an API generated on your first login. Keep it safe, you’ll need it to authenticate your requests.

Run Grafana locally

If you don’t have a Grafana instance, you can run one locally using a docker container, listening on port 3000:

bash
docker run -d -p 3000:3000 \
  --name=grafana-exorde-demo \
  --env GF_INSTALL_PLUGINS=magnesium-wordcloud-panel,marcusolsson-json-datasource \
  grafana/grafana

Grafana is available at http://localhost:3000. The default username and password are both admin.

Note: If you already have a Grafana instance, ensure that the Word cloud and JSON API plugins are installed.
