The Cloud Observability API allows customers to interact with Cloud Observability programmatically. It exposes a subset of operations available through the Cloud Observability UI as a JSON API.
The Cloud Observability API is case-sensitive.
Read the topics in this section to learn how to use the API:
- Create and manage API keys
- API Rate limits
- Make real-time calls from the docs (Try It!)
- API query syntax
- JSON structure
- Use Postman
Read about and experiment with the API from the API reference section:
- Version 2.0 (recommended)
- Version 2.0 for EU (use if your data is hosted at our EU data center)
- Version 1.0
This API is different from the instrumentation APIs by which customers send Span data to Cloud Observability. For documentation about adding instrumentation, see the OpenTelemetry Quickstart. For details about Microsatellite setup and configuration, see Install and Configure Microsatellites page.
