InfluxDB v2 annotated csv in R

Question

InfluxDB and Flux return query results in annotated CSV format. Im am querying the data from R studio using the InfluxDB v2 API. How do I work with the data I receive in the annotated csv format?

Annotated csv:

Does anyone have any experience with Influx and R?

Answer 1

You could try to use InfluxDB 2.0 R client:

library(influxdbclient)

client <- InfluxDBClient$new(
    url = "http://localhost:8086",
    token = "my-token",
    org = "my-org")
                    
data <- client$query('from(bucket: "my-bucket") |> range(start: -1h)')
