In addition, getting the same 404 page selecting go & python client libraries.

Thanks Rick, appreciate you raising this.

I think you can access the page by manually entering the url like this:

http://localhost:8086/orgs/<your org id>/load-data/client-libraries/python

You still need to generate a token using CLI though.

Thanks but getting the same result, 404.

Has someone an idea how to install the client library for python? I got the same 404 issue. Had installed influxDB in a Docker on my NAS.

[innomatica]

For installing the client library, check this.

You need to have a token for the python client to connect to the db and access a bucket. You can use the admin token although not recommended. Proper way of doing it is

1. create a bucket (in the console or using bucket cli)
2. create a token that has read/write access to the bucket (in the console or using auth cli)
3. in the client app, use the token to access the bucket

Is there a fix for this anywhere? I am having the exact same issue as OP. I want to add a node.js source to a new influxdb instance but get the 404 error. Browsing directly gets the same result.
I tried several threads to install client libraries but non have worked so far.
I did have this running in a docker container on my NAS but want to get it running separately so trying to run on a raspberry pi 3B running Raspberry Pi OS Lite (64 Bit).
I have the same setup running on another Pi (same spec) gathering data from a different source perfectly. The instance also giver the 404 error when I try to add a node.js source.

My Environment:
$ uname -srm
Linux 5.15.84-v8+ aarch64

$ influxd version
InfluxDB v2.6.1 (git: 9dcf880) build_date: 2022-12-29T15:52:06Z

bolt-path = "/mnt/influxdb/influxd.bolt"
engine-path = "/mnt/influxdb/engine"

Any suggestions appreciated :)

It is being worked on, but in the meantime all the information on utilizing the javascript client can be found https://github.com/influxdata/influxdb-client-js.

innomatica's suggestions above are correct in that you will want to create a new token that is limited to just the scope that you need. The links they provided will help with that.
