Start with examples/v2/metrics/QueryTimeseriesData.py and run the provided query_timeseries_data example with the relevant API and application keys. Inspect the request sent by MetricsApi and the returned “Invalid query input” error; done means the example executes successfully and matches its stated OK response.
