Documentation on Dataset REST API for query?

I am using the following REST API against a dataset. Is there documentation on the sql sent as content via the POST method? Anything at all? I don't know the extent of what I can put into that statement around building beyond simple WHERE clauses, GROUP BY, etc. I need to know if there are any advanced functions.

POST https://api.domo.com/v1/datasets/query/execute/ce79d23f-ef7d-4318-9787-ebde54a8c5b4

Accept: application/json

Authorization: bearer <your-valid-oauth-access-token>


{"sql": "SELECT * FROM table"}

    I'm not sure there is a limitation in the sql you can construct other than it is using mysql 5.6 and I've read about a limitation of 1 million rows. I agree that expanded documentation in this area would be helpful.

    @MarkSnodgrass i don't think the user is talking about dataflows.


    but to your question, @mward_meetveracity , that query gets translated into DQL (domo query language) which then gets passed as a query to the Adrenaline data layer.


    given that Adrenaline dataflows and dataset views are relatively robust, it's probably safe to assume that most of the stuff you would reasonably expect an API to do when querying data is possible. That said, if you need more sophisticated stuff, just build a dataset view. then SELECT * against the DSV.
