Execute queries
Use tools and libraries to query data stored in an InfluxDB Cloud Dedicated bucket.
InfluxDB client libraries and Flight clients can use the Flight+gRPC protocol to query with SQL or InfluxQL and retrieve data in the Arrow in-memory format.
HTTP clients can use the InfluxDB v1 /query REST API to query with InfluxQL and retrieve data in JSON format.
Learn how to connect to InfluxDB and query your data using the following tools:
Use client libraries
Use the InfluxDB v3 client libraries with SQL or InfluxQL to query data stored in InfluxDB. InfluxDB v3 client libraries are language-specific packages that integrate with your application. Execute queries and retrieve data and metadata over the Flight+gRPC protocol, and then process data using tools in the language of your choice.
Use the v1 query API and InfluxQL
Use the InfluxDB v1 HTTP query API to query data in InfluxDB Cloud Dedicated with InfluxQL.
curl --get https://cluster-id.influxdb.io/query \
--header "Authorization: Token DATABASE_TOKEN" \
--data-urlencode "db=DATABASE_NAME" \
--data-urlencode "q=SELECT * FROM home"
Use visualization tools
Use visualization tools and SQL or InfluxQL to query data stored in InfluxDB.
Optimize queries
Optimize your SQL and InfluxQL queries to improve performance and reduce their memory and compute (CPU) requirements.
Understand and troubleshoot Flight responses
Understand responses and troubleshoot errors encountered when querying InfluxDB with Flight+gRPC and Arrow Flight clients.
