It provides a simple and intuitive API for reading data from local or remote instances of InfluxDB, including support for authentication via username and password. The client also allows writing data to InfluxDB, with options such as specifying the time precision for timestamp values. With great documentation and a community-driven maintenance team, the Ruby client is an excellent choice for developers looking to integrate InfluxDB into their applications.
