Managed secret providers

InfluxDB

Connect InfluxDB to Alter Vault for secure API access

Overview

Use InfluxDB credentials to make authenticated API calls through Alter Vault without exposing API keys in code.

Property	Value
Provider ID	`influxdb`
Category	Database
Credential Type	API Token

Step 1: Get Credentials

Open API Tokens

Go to Load Data > API Tokens.

Generate a token

Generate an All Access or custom (bucket-scoped) token and copy it — it is only shown once.

Step 2: Add to Alter Vault

Open the Developer Portal

Go to portal.alterauth.com and navigate to the application.

Add InfluxDB

Go to Managed Secrets > Add Provider > InfluxDB.

Enter credentials

Paste your API Token into the credential field.

Save

Click Save. You’ll receive a grant_id to use with the SDK.

Using in Code

response = await alter_app.request(
    HttpMethod.POST,
    "https://YOUR-REGION.cloud2.influxdata.com/api/v2/query",
    grant_id="YOUR_GRANT_ID",
    query_params={"org": "YOUR-ORG"},
    json={
        "query": 'from(bucket: "metrics") |> range(start: -1h) |> limit(n: 5)',
        "type": "flux",
    },
)

Notes

The token is injected as Authorization: Token <token>; InfluxDB 3 endpoints also accept Bearer.
