}Authorizations
App key issued from the Flashduty console under Account → APP Keys. Required on every public API call. Keep it secret — it grants the same access as the owning account.
Body
Explore query request. All four top-level fields are required and unknown fields are rejected.
Data source ID from /monit/datasource/list. Must be a positive JavaScript-safe integer and belong to the authenticated account.
1 <= x <= 9007199254740991Query expression in the data source's native language (PromQL, LogsQL, SQL, and so on). Non-empty UTF-8 of at most 64 KiB; some data source types enforce a lower limit.
1Macro substitutions keyed by variable name, used for Grafana-style variables. Keys are at most 256 bytes, values at most 64 KiB, with a 128 KiB total budget.

Time semantics of the query. The accepted companion fields depend on kind: instant takes only to_ms (plus optional from_ms), range requires from_ms, to_ms, and max_data_points, and window takes only from_ms and to_ms. step_seconds is never accepted over HTTP.

Response
Success
Success response envelope. On every 2xx response, request_id identifies the call (also mirrored in the Flashcat-Request-Id header) and data holds the endpoint-specific payload. Failure responses use a different shape — see ErrorResponse.
