# Annotations API
|
|
|
|
Annotations are saved in the Grafana database (sqlite, mysql or postgres). Annotations can be organization annotations that can be shown on any dashboard by configuring an annotation data source - they are filtered by tags. Or they can be tied to a panel on a dashboard and are then only shown on that panel.
|
|
|
|
> If you are running Grafana Enterprise, for some endpoints you'll need to have specific permissions. Refer to [Role-based access control permissions](/docs/grafana/latest/administration/roles-and-permissions/access-control/custom-role-actions-scopes/) for more information.
|
|
|
|
## Find Annotations
|
|
|
|
`GET /api/annotations?from=1506676478816&to=1507281278816&tags=tag1&tags=tag2&limit=100`
|
|
|
|
**Required permissions**
|
|
|
|
See note in the [introduction]({{< ref "#annotations-api" >}}) for an explanation.
|
|
|
|
| Action | Scope |
|
|
| ---------------- | ----------------------- |
|
|
| annotations:read | annotations:type:<type> |
|
|
|
|
**Example Request**:
|
|
|
|
```http
|
|
GET /api/annotations?from=1506676478816&to=1507281278816&tags=tag1&tags=tag2&limit=100 HTTP/1.1

|
Query Parameters:
|
|
|
|
- `from`: epoch datetime in milliseconds. Optional.
|
|
- `to`: epoch datetime in milliseconds. Optional.
|
|
- `limit`: number. Optional - default is 100. Max limit for results returned.
|
|
- `alertId`: number. Optional. Find annotations for a specified alert.
|
|
- `dashboardId`: number. Optional. Find annotations that are scoped to a specific dashboard
|
|
- `dashboardUID`: string. Optional. Find annotations that are scoped to a specific dashboard, when dashboardUID presents, dashboardId would be ignored.
|
|
- `panelId`: number. Optional. Find annotations that are scoped to a specific panel
|
|
- `userId`: number. Optional. Find annotations created by a specific user
|
|
- `type`: string. Optional. `alert`|`annotation` Return alerts or user created annotations
|
|
- `tags`: string. Optional. Use this to filter organization annotations. Organization annotations are annotations from an annotation data source that are not connected specifically to a dashboard or panel. To do an "AND" filtering with multiple tags, specify the tags parameter multiple times e.g. `tags=tag1&tags=tag2`.

## Create Annotation
|
|
|
|
Creates an annotation in the Grafana database. The `dashboardId` and `panelId` fields are optional.
|
|
If they are not specified then an organization annotation is created and can be queried in any dashboard that adds
|
|
the Grafana annotations data source. When creating a region annotation include the timeEnd property.
|
|
|
|
The format for `time` and `timeEnd` should be epoch numbers in millisecond resolution.
|
|
|
|
`POST /api/annotations`
|
|
