Query data stored in InfluxDB and use tools like pandas to summarize the results schema and distribution.

{{% note %}}
#### Sample data

The following examples use the sample data written in the
[Get started writing data guide](/influxdb/cloud-dedicated/get-started/write/).
To run the example queries and return results,
[write the sample data](/influxdb/cloud-dedicated/get-started/write/#write-line-protocol-to-influxdb)
to your {{% product-name %}} database before running the example queries.

#### Using Python and pandas

The following example uses the [InfluxDB client library for Python](/influxdb/cloud-dedicated/reference/client-libraries/v3/python/) to query an {{% product-name %}} database,
and then uses pandas [`DataFrame.info()`](https://pandas.pydata.org/docs/reference/api/pandas.DataFrame.info.html) and [`DataFrame.describe()`](https://pandas.pydata.org/docs/reference/api/pandas.DataFrame.describe.html) methods to summarize the schema and distribution of the data.

1.  In your editor, create a file (for example, `pandas-example.py`) and enter the following sample code:
    <!-- tabs-wrapper allows code-placeholders to work when indented -->
    {{% tabs-wrapper %}}
{{% code-placeholders "DATABASE_TOKEN|DATABASE_NAME" %}}
```py
# pandas-example.py

import influxdb_client_3 as InfluxDBClient3
import pandas

client = InfluxDBClient3.InfluxDBClient3(token='DATABASE_TOKEN',
                      host='{{< influxdb/host >}}',
                      database='DATABASE_NAME',
                      org="",
                      write_options=SYNCHRONOUS)

table = client.query("select * from home where room like '%'")
dataframe = table.to_pandas()

# Print information about the results DataFrame,
# including the index dtype and columns, non-null values, and memory usage.
dataframe.info()

# Calculate descriptive statistics that summarize the distribution of the results.
print(dataframe.describe())
```
{{% /code-placeholders %}}
    {{% /tabs-wrapper %}}

2.  Enter the following command in your terminal to execute the file using the Python interpreter:

    ```sh
    python pandas-example.py
    ```

    The output is similar to the following:

    ```sh
    <class 'pandas.core.frame.DataFrame'>
    RangeIndex: 411 entries, 0 to 410
    Data columns (total 8 columns):
    #   Column     Non-Null Count  Dtype
