Developer resources
Developers can use JavaScript or REST APIs to insert and retrieve time-series data from the MetricBase database and to run transforms on the data. The transformations enable you to visualize time-series data in a variety of ways.
REST APIs
For information about the MetricBase REST APIs that return time-series data from the MetricBase database, see MetricBase Time Series API.
JavaScript APIs
For information about the MetricBase JavaScript APIs that return time-series
data from the MetricBase database, see:
- Client — Execute transforms on the MetricBase database and receive the results.
- Data — Return the object that contains the result of a transform.
- DataBuilder — Create a series of data points for a metric.
- Transformer — Manipulate time-series data to prepare the data for evaluation and analysis.
- TransformPart — Specify details of the transform to be done.
- TransformResult — Return the object that contains the result of the transformation.
Transformations
For more information about MetricBase time-series data transformations, see MetricBase transforms.
Data Explorer
Experiment and get familiar with the JavaScript APIs by using the MetricBase Data Explorer that comes with the MetricBase Demo.
