      "query": "SELECT * FROM osquery_info"
    },
    {
      "name": "osquery_schedule",
      "description": "Report performance stats for each file in the query schedule.",
      "query": "select name, interval, executions, output_size, wall_time, (user_time/executions) as avg_user_time, (system_time/executions) as avg_system_time, average_memory, last_executed from osquery_schedule;"
    }
  ]
}
```

### Get query spec

Returns the name, description, and SQL of the query specified by name.

### Retrieve live query results (standard WebSocket API)

You can retrieve the results of a live query using the [standard WebSocket API](#https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/WebSockets_API/Writing_WebSocket_client_applications).

Before you retrieve the live query results, you must create a live query campaign by running the live query. Use the [Run live query](#run-live-query) or [Run live query by name](#run-live-query-by-name) endpoints to create a live query campaign.

Note that live queries are automatically cancelled if this method is not called to start retrieving the results within 60 seconds of initiating the query.

`/api/v1/fleet/results/websockets`

### Parameters

| Name       | Type    | In  | Description                                                      |
| ---------- | ------- | --- | ---------------------------------------------------------------- |
| token      | string  |     | **Required.** The token used to authenticate with the Fleet API. |
| campaignID | integer |     | **Required.** The ID of the live query campaign.                 |

### Example

#### Example script to handle request and response

```
const socket = new WebSocket('wss://<your-base-url>/api/v1/fleet/results/websockets');

socket.onopen = () => {
  socket.send(JSON.stringify({ type: 'auth', data: { token: <auth-token> } }));
  socket.send(JSON.stringify({ type: 'select_campaign', data: { campaign_id: <campaign-id> } }));
};

socket.onmessage = ({ data }) => {
  console.log(data);
  const message = JSON.parse(data);
  if (message.type === 'status' && message.data.status === 'finished') {
    socket.close();
  }
}
```

  }

```

    }
  }
]
```

    }
  }
]
```

### Retrieve live query results (SockJS)

You can also retrieve live query results with a [SockJS client](https://github.com/sockjs/sockjs-client). The script to handle the request and response messages will look similar to the standard WebSocket API script with slight variations. For example, the constructor used for SockJS is `SockJS` while the constructor used for the standard WebSocket API is `WebSocket`.

Note that SockJS has been found to be substantially less reliable than the [standard WebSockets approach](#retrieve-live-query-results-standard-websocket-api).

`/api/v1/fleet/results/`

### Parameters

| Name       | Type    | In  | Description                                                      |
| ---------- | ------- | --- | ---------------------------------------------------------------- |
| token      | string  |     | **Required.** The token used to authenticate with the Fleet API. |
| campaignID | integer |     | **Required.** The ID of the live query campaign.                 |

### Example

#### Example script to handle request and response

```
const socket = new SockJS(`<your-base-url>/api/v1/fleet/results`, undefined, {});

socket.onopen = () => {
  socket.send(JSON.stringify({ type: 'auth', data: { token: <token> } }));
  socket.send(JSON.stringify({ type: 'select_campaign', data: { campaign_id: <campaignID> } }));
};

socket.onmessage = ({ data }) => {
  console.log(data);
  const message = JSON.parse(data);

  if (message.type === 'status' && message.data.status === 'finished') {
    socket.close();
  }
