Overview

This endpoint is used for executing SQL queries against data stored in Redivis.

API queries are designed for interactive exploration of data on Redivis, and should not be used for ETL operations or real-time analysis of very large tables. All users are subject to a moving 24-hour computational limit for interactive queries of 100,000 compute slot-seconds. To avoid exceeding this limit, make sure to first transform your data on Redivis. Each user is also limited to 5 simultaneous query jobs.
