Run EventQL Query

Run an EventQL query against an EventSourcingDB instance.

Shared Instructions

First read ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/shared/common.md. It explains how to determine the base URL and API token, how to handle NDJSON responses, and which conventions apply. Follow it throughout this skill.

Also read ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/shared/cloudevents.md when query results contain full events. It explains how events are structured, including the EventSourcingDB-specific metadata fields.

Request

This endpoint returns NDJSON:

curl -s --no-buffer -X POST \
  -H "authorization: Bearer ${ESDB_API_TOKEN}" \
  -H "content-type: application/json" \
  -d '<REQUEST_BODY>' \
  "${ESDB_URL:-http://localhost:3000}/api/v1/run-eventql-query" \
  | grep -v '"type":"heartbeat"'

Request Body

{
  "query": "<EventQL query>"
}

Example

curl -s --no-buffer -X POST \
  -H "authorization: Bearer ${ESDB_API_TOKEN}" \
  -H "content-type: application/json" \
  -d "{\"query\": \"FROM e IN events PROJECT INTO e\"}" \
  "${ESDB_URL:-http://localhost:3000}/api/v1/run-eventql-query" \
  | grep -v '"type":"heartbeat"'

Common EventQL Patterns

• All events: FROM e IN events PROJECT INTO e
• Filter by type: FROM e IN events WHERE e.type == "io.eventsourcingdb.library.book-acquired" PROJECT INTO e
• Filter by subject: FROM e IN events WHERE e.subject == "/books/42" PROJECT INTO e
• Count: FROM e IN events WHERE e.type == "io.eventsourcingdb.library.book-borrowed" PROJECT INTO { total: COUNT() }
• Group by type: FROM e IN events GROUP BY e.type PROJECT INTO { type: UNIQUE(e.type), count: COUNT() }
• Latest N events: FROM e IN events ORDER BY e.time DESC TOP 10 PROJECT INTO e

Response

NDJSON stream with one line per result row:

{"type":"row","payload":{...}}
