# Queries

Queries in Honeycomb are specifications for queries, and are used to identify queries in other parts of the API - in particular: boards, triggers, and query annotations.

This API allows you to create and get query objects.



## Create a Query

 - [POST /1/queries/{datasetSlug}](https://api-docs.honeycomb.io/api/queries/createquery.md): Create a query from a specification. DOES NOT run the query to retrieve results.


## Get a Query

 - [GET /1/queries/{datasetSlug}/{queryId}](https://api-docs.honeycomb.io/api/queries/getquery.md): Retrieve a query by its ID.
