Get the SQL query for a workbook element
This endpoint retrieves the SQL query associated with a specific element in a workbook. It allows users to view and understand how the data for that element is being processed and transformed, which is critical for debugging, optimization, and educational purposes.
### Usage notes
- Retrieve the **workbookId** by calling the [/v2/workbooks](https://help.sigmacomputing.com/reference/list-workbooks) endpoint.
- Retrieve the **elementId** for a custom SQL element by calling the [/v2/workbooks/{workbookId}/queries](https://help.sigmacomputing.com/reference/list-workbook-queries) endpoint.
- To retrieve the query for an element from a version-tagged workbook, pass the `tagName` in the query parameters with the tag name. Retrieve the tag name by calling the [/v2/workbooks](https://help.sigmacomputing.com/reference/list-workbooks) endpoint and using the `tags.name` included in the response for a given workbook.
- To retrieve the query for an element from a bookmark (saved view), pass the `bookmarkId` in the query parameters. Retrieve the bookmarkId by calling the [/v2/workbooks/{workbookId}/bookmarks](https://help.sigmacomputing.com/reference/get-workbook-bookmarks) or [/v2/workbooks/{workbookId}/tags/:tagName/bookmarks](https://help.sigmacomputing.com/reference/get-tagged-workbook-bookmarks) endpoints.
### Usage scenarios
- **Development and debugging:** Provides developers and analysts with the ability to retrieve and review the SQL code behind workbook elements, facilitating troubleshooting and enhancements.
- **Educational insight:** Useful for training purposes or for users learning to understand the impact of various transformations and filters applied within their Sigma workbooks.
### Best practices
- Ensure proper access controls are in place to manage who can view potentially sensitive query information.
- Use this endpoint as part of a regular review process to ensure that all queries are optimized and up to date with current data schemas.
