from() function
The from() function retrieves data from an InfluxDB data source.
It returns a stream of tables from the specified bucket.
Each unique series is contained within its own table.
Each record in the table represents a single point in the series.
from(
bucket: "example-bucket",
host: "https://example.com",
org: "example-org",
token: "MySuP3rSecr3Tt0k3n"
)
// OR
from(
bucketID: "0261d8287f4d6000",
host: "https://example.com",
orgID: "867f3fcf1846f11f",
token: "MySuP3rSecr3Tt0k3n"
)
from() does not require a package import
from() is part of the influxdata/influxdb package, but is included with the
universe package by default and does not require
an import statement or package namespace.

Examples
- Query InfluxDB using the bucket name
- Query InfluxDB using the bucket ID
- Query a remote InfluxDB Cloud instance
Query using the bucket name
from(bucket: "example-bucket")
Query using the bucket ID
from(bucketID: "0261d8287f4d6000")
Query a remote InfluxDB Cloud instance
import "influxdata/influxdb/secrets"
token = secrets.get(key: "INFLUXDB_CLOUD_TOKEN")
from(
bucket: "example-bucket",
host: "https://cloud2.influxdata.com",
org: "example-org",
token: token
)
