Create a live dashboard from data pulled via API using Grafana without a database

Question

I am currently getting a lot of data via API and I would like to display it on a dynamic dashboard.

So far, I saw that I could use Grafana, but it seems to require a database such as InfluxDB.

Is it possible to use Grafana without storing the data I get via API into a database, and then display only the data I get each with each request?

You can define a RESTful API endpoint as a datasource using SimpleJson datasource plugin. In this way, you are able to remove the direct dependency to a database. However, your back-end needs to implement certain URLs and conforms to the plugin's request/response formats. I would recommend that you have a look at this link for a sample implementation, and see if it really meets your specific requirement.
