+## Usage examples
+### CURL
+#### Query metrics of a service on a specific host
+```
+curl -s -u '<username>:<password>' -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST -d '
+{
+   "targets":[
+      {
+         "host":"host1.example.org",
+         "service":"_HOST_",
+         "perflabel":"rta",
+         "type":"AVERAGE"
+      },
+      {
+         "host":"host2.example.org",
+         "service":"_HOST_",
+         "perflabel":"rta",
+         "type":"AVERAGE"
+      }
+   ],
+   "start":'UNIXEPOCHTIMESTAMP_START',
+   "end":'UNIXEPOCHTIMESTAMP_END'
+}' https://example.org/pnp4nagios/index.php/api/metrics
+```
+#### List all hosts
+```
+curl -s -u '<username>:<password>' https://example.org/pnp4nagios/index.php/api/hosts
+```
+
+#### List services of a host
+```
+curl -s -u '<username>:<password>' -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST -d '
+{
+   "host":"host.example.org"
+}' https://example.org/pnp4nagios/index.php/api/services
+```
+
+You can use regular expressions for host lists:
+
+```
+curl -s -u '<username>:<password>' -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST -d '
+{
+   "host":"/^local"
+}' https://example.org/pnp4nagios/index.php/api/services
+```
+
+
+#### List labels of a service of specific host
+```
+curl -s -u '<username>:<password>' -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST -d '
+{
+   "host":"host.example.org",
+   "service":"_HOST_"
+}' https://example.org/pnp4nagios/index.php/api/labels
+```
