Execute queries
Use tools and libraries to query data from an InfluxDB 3 Core database.
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 the v3 query API
Use SQL or InfluxQL and the InfluxDB v3 HTTP query API to query data in InfluxDB 3 Core.
curl --get http://localhost:8181/api/v3/query_sql \ --header "Authorization: Token AUTH_TOKEN" \ --data-urlencode "db=DATABASE_NAME" \ --data-urlencode "q=SELECT * FROM home"Use the influxdb3 CLI
Use the influxdb3 query command to query data in InfluxDB 3 Core with SQL.
influxdb3 query \ --database DATABASE_NAME \ "SELECT * FROM home"Use the v1 query API and InfluxQL
Use the InfluxDB v1 HTTP query API to query data in InfluxDB 3 Core with InfluxQL.
curl --get http://localhost:8181/query \ --header "Authorization: Token AUTH_TOKEN" \ --data-urlencode "db=DATABASE_NAME" \ --data-urlencode "q=SELECT * FROM home"Execute SQL queries with ODBC
Use the Arrow Flight SQL ODBC driver to execute SQL queries against InfluxDB 3 Core from ODBC-compatible applications and programming languages.
