Hello,  
I am using Grafana apis but in most of the apis I am getting error(404) and also for Oauth authentication, is there any proper documentation for authorization?. Because by using basic auth I am able to access only few apis like i am not able to access “create dashboard” or “get current organization”.Please suggest the solution as soon as possible.

Here are the docs for [get current organization](http://docs.grafana.org/http_api/org/#get-current-organisation). If you are getting a 404, it sounds like you are using the wrong url.

Are you using basic auth or a bearer token?

Here is an example of getting the current org with basic auth -\> with the `admin` user which has password `admin`

```auto
curl http://admin:admin@community.grafana.com/api/org

```
