# Endpoint
|
|
|
|
To send a query request to PPL plugin, use the HTTP POST request.
|
|
We recommend a POST request because it doesn't have any length limit and it allows you to pass other parameters to the plugin for other functionality.
|
|
|
|
Use the explain endpoint for query translation and troubleshooting.
|
|
|
|
## Request Format
|
|
|
|
To use the PPL plugin with your own applications, send requests to `_opensearch/_ppl`, with your query in the request body:
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
curl -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -X POST localhost:9200/_opensearch/_ppl \
|
|
... -d '{"query" : "source=accounts | fields firstname, lastname"}'
|
|
```
