Response Format
Get Query Result Response
The response contains three fields:
result: An object containing:data: Array of arrays, where each inner array represents a row of datacolumn_names: Array of strings representing the column names in order
total: Total number of rows in the complete result set (not just the current page)is_pagination_consistent: Boolean indicating whether pagination is consistent. This istrueif the SQL query has anORDER BYclause, ensuring that results are returned in a consistent order across pages.
Export Query Result Response
The response is a CSV file with:
- Content-Type:
text/csv - First row: Column headers
- Subsequent rows: Data rows matching the query results
Pagination
When retrieving query results:
- First Request: Use
limit=100&offset=0to get the first 100 rows - Subsequent Requests: Increment
offsetby thelimitvalue to get the next page- Second page:
limit=100&offset=100 - Third page:
limit=100&offset=200 - And so on...
- Second page:
Note: For consistent pagination, ensure the SQL query includes an ORDER BY clause. Without it, is_pagination_consistent will be false, and results may appear in different orders across pages.
Error Responses
400 Bad Request:- Message is not an assistant message
- Message does not have a SQL query
- Invalid SQL query
- Invalid pagination parameters
404 Not Found:- Conversation not found
- Message not found
500 Internal Server Error: Unexpected error processing the request
Use Cases
1. Display Query Results in UI
Use the paginated result endpoint to display query results in a table with pagination:
GET /api/v1/conversations/{conversation_id}/items/{message_id}/result?limit=50&offset=0
2. Export Large Datasets
Use the export endpoint to download complete query results as CSV:
GET /api/v1/conversations/{conversation_id}/items/{message_id}/export
3. Process Results Programmatically
Fetch paginated results and process them in batches by incrementing the offset parameter with each request until all results are retrieved.
Notes
- Query results are retrieved by executing the SQL query stored in the assistant message
- The SQL query is validated to prevent SQL injection attacks
- For MSSQL databases, pagination is handled in memory due to MindsDB limitations
- Export endpoint returns all results without pagination limits
- CSV export includes UTF-8 encoding and proper header row
