In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to read a data stream, store it as a time series into InfluxDB and run queries over the data using InfluxDB’s JavaScript client library. All the code in this tutorial is available for free in this repo on GitHub. A time-series database is a specialized type of data store focused on providing tools to store and query data that has a dimension measured as a time unit.

Also, you can set some default tags for each data point to be written — the source of the data in this case.

Once the data is in the bucket, the InfluxDB JavaScript client provides another API client to query the data.
