On Google Appengine, there's a 2KB limit for urls. So if you do multiple queries in one api call, that 2kb is exceeded pretty easily.

It would be nice if we could specify the http method in the query method to avoid that limit.

for now, we've patched the library in our project to replace this

https://github.com/influxdata/influxdb-python/blob/master/influxdb/client.py#L404-L410

with:

    response = self.request(
        url="query",
        method='POST',
        params=None,
        data=urllib.urlencode(params),
        headers={'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'},
        expected_response_code=expected_response_code
    )
