Honeycomb Queries API
The Honeycomb Queries API allows developers to programmatically create and manage query specifications within Honeycomb. Queries are used to identify and reference queries across other parts of the API, including boards, triggers, and query annotations. Developers can run queries asynchronously by creating a Query Result that references a Query ID, then polling the query result endpoint until the data is ready. The Query Data API complements this by providing access to query results.
Honeycomb Queries API is one of 22 APIs that Honeycomb publishes on the APIs.io network, described by a machine-readable OpenAPI specification.

This API exposes 2 operations across 2 paths, and defines 2 schemas. It is described by OpenAPI 3.2.0, at version 1.0.
