In this post, the InfluxDB team provides tips and workarounds for using the HTTP API in InfluxDB. One key tip is that the `chunked=true` query string parameter allows InfluxDB to return query results in batches rather than as a single response. Additionally, the team addresses a common issue with querying points by specific timestamps, explaining that currently, InfluxQL does not support using `OR` with absolute time in the `WHERE` clause, but suggests alternative approaches such as splitting the query or using `AND`. Finally, the post provides guidance on authenticating requests with the HTTP API using HTTP authentication and basic authentication.
