|
||
## 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
|
||
|
||
{
|
||
"queries":[
|
||
{
|
||
"refId":"A",
|
||
"scenarioId":"csv_metric_values",
|
||
"datasource":{
|
||
"uid":"PD8C576611E62080A"
|
||
},
|
||
"format": "table"
|
||
"maxDataPoints":1848,
|
||
"intervalMs":200,
|
||
"stringInput":"1,20,90,30,5,0",
|
||
}
|
||
],
|
||
"from":"now-5m",
|
||
"to":"now"
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
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`.
