# API
-## Netdata REST API
+## Netdata agent REST API
+
+The complete documentation of the Netdata agent's REST API is documented in the OpenAPI format [in our GitHub repository](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/netdata/netdata/master/web/api/netdata-swagger.yaml).
+
+You can explore it using the **[Swagger UI](https://learn.netdata.cloud/api)**, or the **[Swagger Editor](https://editor.swagger.io/?url=https://raw.githubusercontent.com/netdata/netdata/master/web/api/netdata-swagger.yaml)**.
-The complete documentation of the Netdata API is available as a Swagger API document [in our GitHub repository](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/netdata/netdata/master/web/api/netdata-swagger.yaml). You can view it online using the **[Swagger Editor](https://editor.swagger.io/?url=https://raw.githubusercontent.com/netdata/netdata/master/web/api/netdata-swagger.yaml)**.
+## Netdata cloud API
-If your prefer it over the Swagger Editor, you can also use [Swagger UI](https://github.com/swagger-api/swagger-ui) by pointing at `web/api/netdata-swagger.yaml` in the Netdata source tree (or at https://raw.githubusercontent.com/netdata/netdata/master/web/api/netdata-swagger.yaml if you want to use the Swagger API definitions directly from our GitHub repository). This however does not provide all the information available.
+A very basic Netdata cloud REST API supports the [Grafana data source plugin](https://github.com/netdata/netdata-grafana-datasource-plugin/blob/master/README.md),
+but has not yet been expanded for wider use. We intend to provide a properly documented API in the future.
