Now that we expose our metrics to the /prometheus endpoint, we need to configure the prometheus server to collect them. We need to configure our prometheus to collect data from our endpoint, to do that we need to overwrite the prometheus.yml file.

Prometheus HTTP API: Query and Manage Metrics (2026) | Last9
March 6, 2025 - In simple terms, the Prometheus API is how you talk to your Prometheus server. Think of it as the bouncer that guards the VIP section of metrics. It lets you query, analyze, and extract the data that Prometheus scrapes from your systems.

Query Prometheus Metrics using the API and PromQL - Azure Monitor | Microsoft Learn
Azure Monitor managed service for Prometheus collects metrics from Azure Kubernetes clusters and stores them in an Azure Monitor workspace. Prometheus Query Language (PromQL) is a functional query language that you can use to query and aggregate time-series data. Use PromQL to query and aggregate metrics stored in an Azure Monitor workspace. This article describes how to query an Azure Monitor workspace by using PromQL via the REST API.

February 3, 2020 -
Greetings
I'm very new to Prometheus so I come here for pointers from the community.
My goal is to monitor a hardware device which exposes a nice REST API that contains all the data but not formatted specifically for monitoring.
What is the best approach/tool to have Prometheus "read" the data through this API?
Thanks in advance

Write your own exporter (there are Prometheus client libraries for various languages) that queries the API and exposes its data in the Prometheus format: https://prometheus.io/docs/instrumenting/clientlibs/ https://prometheus.io/docs/instrumenting/writing_exporters/

As others have said, look at writing your own exporter to translate the API to a prometheus format. Best bet is to look at other exporters in a language you are comfortable with and copy them.

How to Monitor REST APIs Using Prometheus and Grafana | Nordic APIs |
September 5, 2023 - In this tutorial, Prometheus will act as a data source where all the data will be available on port 9090, and Grafana will fetch these data points and display them in the dashboard.

You can fetch all metrics with following curl expression:
url=http://{urIPorhostname}:9090
curl -s $url/api/v1/label/__name__/values | jq -r ".data[]" | sort
2 of 4

All the metrics for a particular instance IP:9100 can be obtained via the following PromQL query:
{instance="IP:9100"}
This query returns all the metrics, which have the given instance="IP:9100" label. See time series selector docs for more details. See also PromQL tutorial.
The {instance="IP:9100"} query can be sent to the following Prometheus querying APIs:
- /api/v1/query - this endpoint returns matching time series values at the given timestamp specified via
timequery arg. For example,curl 'http://prometheus:9090/api/v1/query?query={instance="IP:9100"}'. Make sure you properly encodedqueryarg with percent encoding. See this demo. - /api/v1/series - this endpoint returns matching time series without any data, e.g. only metric names and labels are returned. For example,
curl 'http://prometheus:9090/api/v1/series?match[]={instance="IP:9100"}'. Make sure you properly encodedmatch[]arg with percent encoding. See this demo - /api/v1/query_range - this endpoint returns calculated datapoints for matching time series on the selected time range
[start ... end]with the givenstepinterval between samples. See more details about calculated datapoints in these docs.
If you want returning just unique metric names without labels, then you can query /api/v1/label/__name__/values endpoint: curl http://prometheus:9090/api/v1/label/__name__/values . The __name__ is a special label name used in Prometheus for referring to metric names. Note that multiple time series may share the same metric name. For example, http_requests_total{path="/foo"} and http_requests_total{path="/bar"} time series share http_requests_total metric name, while they differ by path label values.

Getting data out from Prometheus
๎As an intermediary solution, I created a file called all-prometheus-metrics.txt containing one metric per line: cadvisor_version_info container_cpu_system_seconds_total ... scrape_samples_scraped up And retrieved the values for each metric for the last 14 days using this bash script that queries the REST API: for metric in $(cat all-prometheus-metrics.txt); do curl "localhost:9090/api/v1/query?query=$metric[14d]" | gzip > $metric.gz; done The interval syntax is query=scrape_samples_scraped[14d] and url encoded to [14d]. The pipe through gzip reduces storage requirements on the fly.
