## Query a data source
Queries a data source having a backend implementation.
`POST /api/ds/query`
> **Note:** Grafana's built-in data sources usually have a backend implementation.
**Example request for the Test data source**:
```http
POST /api/ds/query HTTP/1.1
Accept: application/json
Content-Type: application/json
```
JSON Body schema:
- **from/to** Specifies the time range for the queries. The time can be either epoch timestamps in milliseconds or relative using Grafana time units. For example, `now-5m`.
- **queries** Specifies one or more queries. Must contain at least 1.
- **queries.datasource.uid** Specifies the UID of data source to be queried. Each query in the request must have a unique `datasource`.
- **queries.refId** Specifies an identifier of the query. Defaults to "A".
- **queries.format** Specifies the format the data should be returned in. Valid options are `time_series` or `table` depending on the data source.
- **queries.maxDataPoints** - Species the maximum amount of data points that a dashboard panel can render. Defaults to 100.
- **queries.intervalMs** - Specifies the time series time interval in milliseconds. Defaults to 1000.
In addition, specific properties of each data source should be added in a request (for example **queries.stringInput** as shown in the request above). To better understand how to form a query for a certain data source, use the Developer Tools in your browser of choice and inspect the HTTP requests being made to `/api/ds/query`.
**Example Test data source time series query response:**
```json
{
"results": {
"A": {
"frames": [
{
"schema": {
"refId": "A",
"fields": [
{
"name": "time",
