# Data Source Metadata Queries
Data Source Metadata queries return metadata information for a dataSource. These queries return information about:
* The timestamp of latest ingested event for the dataSource. This is the ingested event without any consideration of rollup.
The grammar for these queries is:
```json
{
"queryType" : "dataSourceMetadata",
"dataSource": "sample_datasource"
}
```
There are 2 main parts to a Data Source Metadata query:
|property|description|required?|
|--------|-----------|---------|
|queryType|This String should always be "dataSourceMetadata"; this is the first thing Apache Druid (incubating) looks at to figure out how to interpret the query|yes|
|dataSource|A String or Object defining the data source to query, very similar to a table in a relational database. See [DataSource](../querying/datasource.html) for more information.|yes|
|context|See [Context](../querying/query-context.html)|no|
The format of the result is:
```json
[ {
"timestamp" : "2013-05-09T18:24:00.000Z",
"result" : {
"maxIngestedEventTime" : "2013-05-09T18:24:09.007Z"
}
} ]
```
