`GET /api/datasources/proxy/:datasourceId/*`
Proxies all calls to the actual data source.
## Query a data source by ID
Queries a data source having backend implementation.
`POST /api/tsdb/query`
> **Note:** Most of Grafana's builtin data sources have backend implementation.
**Example Request**:
```http
POST /api/tsdb/query HTTP/1.1
Accept: application/json
Content-Type: application/json
{
"from": "1420066800000",
"to": "1575845999999",
"queries": [
{
"refId": "A",
"intervalMs": 86400000,
"maxDataPoints": 1092,
"datasourceId": 86,
"rawSql": "SELECT 1 as valueOne, 2 as valueTwo",
"format": "table"
}
]
}
```
> **Note:** The `from`, `to`, and `queries` properties are required.
JSON Body schema:
- **from/to** Should be either absolute in epoch timestamps in milliseconds or relative using Grafana time units. For example, `now-1h`.
- **queries.refId** Specifies an identifier of the query. Is optional and default to "A".
- **queries.datasourceId** Specifies the data source to be queried. Each `query` in the request must have an unique `datasourceId`.
- **queries.maxDataPoints** - Species maximum amount of data points that dashboard panel can render. Is optional and default to 100.
- **queries.intervalMs** - Specifies the time interval in milliseconds of time series. Is optional and defaults to 1000.
In addition, each data source has its own specific properties that should be added in a request.
**Example request for the MySQL data source:**
```http
POST /api/tsdb/query HTTP/1.1
Accept: application/json
Content-Type: application/json
{
"from": "1420066800000",
"to": "1575845999999",
"queries": [
{
"refId": "A",
"intervalMs": 86400000,
"maxDataPoints": 1092,
"datasourceId": 86,
"rawSql": "SELECT\n time,\n sum(opened) AS \"Opened\",\n sum(closed) AS \"Closed\"\nFROM\n issues_activity\nWHERE\n $__unixEpochFilter(time) AND\n period = 'm' AND\n repo IN('grafana/grafana') AND\n opened_by IN('Contributor','Grafana Labs')\nGROUP BY 1\nORDER BY 1\n",
"format": "time_series"
}
]
}
```
**Example MySQL time series query response:**
```http
HTTP/1.1 200
Content-Type: application/json
{
"results": {
"A": {
"refId": "A",
"meta": {
"rowCount": 0,
"sql": "SELECT\n time,\n sum(opened) AS \"Opened\",\n sum(closed) AS \"Closed\"\nFROM\n issues_activity\nWHERE\n time >= 1420066800 AND time <= 1575845999 AND\n period = 'm' AND\n repo IN('grafana/grafana') AND\n opened_by IN('Contributor','Grafana Labs')\nGROUP BY 1\nORDER BY 1\n"
