Get SQL Query Rows

Use the GET /api/v3/query/{queryId}/rows endpoint of the Data 360 Query API to retrieve results from a completed query using offset-based pagination. Use this endpoint to page through large result sets by specifying an offset and optional limit or byteLimit. Responses are available in JSON or Apache Arrow format.

Request

GET https://{dne_cdpInstanceUrl}/api/v3/query/MTAuMjcuMTgxLjE0OTo3NDg0_1cfc8d35-464c-9185-1f41-3eb638a71f7a/rows?offset=0&limit=100
Authorization: Bearer {accessToken}

Response

{
  "metadata": {
    "columns": [
      { "name": "id__c", "type": "varchar", "nullable": false },
      { "name": "name__c", "type": "varchar", "nullable": true }
    ]
  },
  "data": [
    ["c1ce2a48-9d03-4eed-938d", "Alice Johnson"],
    ["2", "Bob Smith"]
  ],
  "returnedRows": 2
}

Apache Arrow Response

Set Accept: application/vnd.apache.arrow.stream to receive results as a binary Arrow IPC stream instead of JSON. Arrow is recommended for large result sets — it reduces payload size and deserialization overhead compared to JSON. The omitSchema query parameter has no effect on Arrow responses; the schema is always embedded in the Arrow stream.
