title: programmatically export grafana dashboard data
body: <p>I have a visual in grafana. I can manually go to the menu click export and export the time series data in json. This works great. Is there a way I can script that in python?. Is there some api I can hit that will return the json of a visual?</p>
  
  <p>I was googling around and it looks like I can use the api to create dashboards/visuals and administer them but not sure where how to use the api to export the data.</p>
