Historian for Linux User API - an Overview

The Historian for Linux User API is a C library intended to provide high speed read/write access to Historian data and tags. It does not provide access to archives, alarms, events, or messages.

Use the API to develop applications, which read and write data to the Historian server when the REST query and web admin do not meet the requirement for performance or programming language.

Sample programs are provided with the API, demonstrating how to perform common tasks. You can find additional information in the comments in the sample code and API header.

Note: To use this API, you must be familiar with the Historian for Linux features and functionalities.

Supported platforms

The Historian for Linux API is compiled on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and Alpine 3.6.
