This is the main endpoint for querying data from PostHog. You can find all the details on what it does and how you can use it in our [API queries doc](/docs/api/queries).

If you don't want to read that, here's an example of how to use it to get events where the `$current_url` contains blog using the `HogQLQuery` query type and SQL.

> **Tip:** Always include a descriptive `name` parameter in your queries. This makes them easier to identify and analyze in the [`query_log` table](/docs/data/query-log).

```bash
curl \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $POSTHOG_PERSONAL_API_KEY" \
  <ph_app_host>/api/projects/:project_id/query/ \
  -d '{
        "query": {
          "kind": "HogQLQuery",
          "query": "select properties.$current_url from events where properties.$current_url like '\''%/blog%'\'' limit 100"
        },
        "name": "get 100 blog urls"
      }'
```

```python
import requests
import json

url = "<ph_app_host>/api/projects/{project_id}/query/"
headers = {
    'Content-Type': 'application/json',
    'Authorization': 'Bearer {POSTHOG_PERSONAL_API_KEY}'
}
payload = {
    "query": {
        "kind": "HogQLQuery",
        "query": "select properties.$current_url from events where properties.$current_url like '%/blog%' limit 100"
    },
    "name": "get 100 blog urls"
}
response = requests.post(url, headers=headers, data=json.dumps(payload))
print(response.json())
```

```node
import fetch from "node-fetch";

async function createQuery() {
  const url = "<ph_app_host>/api/projects/:project_id/query/";
  const headers = {
    "Content-Type": "application/json",
    "Authorization": "Bearer {POSTHOG_PERSONAL_API_KEY}"
  };

  const payload = {
    "query": {
      "kind": "HogQLQuery",
      "query": "select properties.$current_url from events where properties.$current_url like '%/blog%' limit 100"
    },
    "name": "get 100 blog urls"
  }

  const response = await fetch(url, {
    method: "POST",
    headers: headers,
    body: JSON.stringify(payload),
  });

  const data = await response.json();
  console.log(data);
}
