Accelerated queries endpoint

As part of the Data Distiller SKU, the allows you to make stateless queries to the accelerated store. The returned results are based on aggregated data. The decreased latency of results allows for a more interactive exchange of information. The accelerated queries APIs are also used to power user-defined dashboards.

Before continuing with this guide, ensure that you have read and understood the Query Service API guide in order to successfully use Query Service API.

Getting started

The Data Distiller SKU is required to use the query accelerated store. Please see the packaging and guardrails, and licensing documentation that relates to the Data Distiller SKU. If you do not have the Data Distiller SKU please contact your ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ customer service representative for more information.

The following sections detail the API calls necessary to access the query accelerated store in a stateless manner through the Query Service API. Each call includes the general API format, a sample request showing required headers, and a sample response.

Run an accelerated query run-accelerated-query

Make a POST request to the /accelerated-queries endpoint to run an accelerated query. The query is either contained directly in the request payload or referenced with a template ID.

API format

POST /accelerated-queries

Request

IMPORTANT
Requests to the /accelerated-queries endpoint require either an SQL statement OR a template ID, but not both. Submitting both in a request causes an error.

The following request submits an SQL query in the request body to the accelerated store.

curl -X POST https://platform.adobe.io/data/foundation/query/accelerated-queries
 -H 'Authorization: {ACCESS_TOKEN}'
 -H 'x-gw-ims-org-id: {ORG_ID}' \
 -H 'x-api-key: {API_KEY}'
 -H 'x-sandbox-name: {SANDBOX_NAME}' \
 -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
 -H 'Accept: application/json' \
 -d '
 {
   "dbName": "acmesbox1:acmeacceldb:accmeaggschema",
   "sql": "SELECT * FROM accounts;",
   "name": "Sample Accelerated Query",
   "description": "A sample of an accelerated query."
 }
'

This alternate request submits a template ID in the request body to the accelerated store. The SQL from the corresponding template is used to query the accelerated store.

curl -X POST https://platform.adobe.io/data/foundation/query/accelerated-queries
 -H 'Authorization: {ACCESS_TOKEN}'
 -H 'x-gw-ims-org-id: {ORG_ID}' \
 -H 'x-api-key: {API_KEY}'
 -H 'x-sandbox-name: {SANDBOX_NAME}' \
 -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
 -H 'Accept: application/json' \
 -d '

Property
Description
dbName
The name of the database you are making an accelerated query to. The value for dbName should take the format of {SANDBOX_NAME}:{ACCELERATED_STORE_DATABASE}.{ACCELERATED_STORE_SCHEMA}. The database provided must exist within the accelerated store or the request will result in an error. You must also ensure that the x-sandbox-name header and sandbox name in dbName refer to same sandbox.
sql
An SQL statement string. The maximum size allowed is 1000000 characters.
templateId
The unique identifier of a query created and saved as a template when a POST request is made to the /templates endpoint.
name
An optional human-friendly, descriptive name for the accelerated query.
description
An optional comment on the intent of the query to help other users understand its purpose. The maximum size allowed is 1000 bytes.

Response

A successful response returns HTTP status 200 with the ad hoc schema created by the query.
