  • build_time_range_query: Build an InfluxQL query for a topic and time range

  • select_time_series: Return a DataFrame containing results of a time range query

  • select_packed_time_series: Return a DataFrame with high cadence telemetry expanded into a single DataFrame.

  • select_top_n: Return a DataFrame with the results of just the most recent rows.

  • get_schema: Get metadata for the fields in a particular topic.

• There are also some utilities for dealing with results of queries

  • merge_packed_time_series: Takes a dataframe with records that have multiple samples per entry and returns a dataframe with one record per sample.

  • rendezvous_dataframes: Extend on dataframe with data from another dataframe using the closest record in time in the past, in the future, or nearest overall.
