Running query in Pipeline in Azure-DevOps - azure-devops

Question

I want to add an Azure-DevOps query to a pipeline,
Is there an option to put a query in a yaml file?
If yes, how?
Thanks in advance.

I suppose that you could run a rest api for query via powershell script or something like that in a pipeline task to do it.
GET https://dev.azure.com/{organization}/{project}/_apis/wit/queries/{query}?api-version=7.0
Powershell Script
# Define organization base url, PAT and API version variables
$orgUrl = "https://dev.azure.com/{org}/{project}"
$pat = "{pat}"
$queryString = "api-version=7.0"
# Create header with PAT
$token = [System.Convert]::ToBase64String([System.Text.Encoding]::ASCII.GetBytes(":$($pat)"))
$header = #{authorization = "Basic $token"}
# Get the list of all projects in the organization
$projectsUrl = "$orgUrl/_apis/wit/queries/{query}?$queryString"
$result = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri $projectsUrl -Method Get -ContentType "application/json" -Headers $header | ConvertTo-Json | ConvertFrom-Json
write-host $result
If you are going to echo the specific element from the query result, you could modify the $result line with below
$result = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri $projectsUrl -Method Get -ContentType "application/json" -Headers $header | ConvertTo-Json | ConvertFrom-Json | Select-Object -ExpandProperty {your element}
write-host $result
You could also create a query with rest api, and with the similar powershell script to put into pipeline.
POST https://dev.azure.com/{organization}/{project}/_apis/wit/queries/{query}?api-version=7.0
