# Get Slow Queries

`GET /v1/analytics/namespaces/queries/slow`

Get slow queries and their filter patterns.

Identifies queries exceeding a latency threshold and shows which metadata
fields they're filtering on, helping pinpoint optimization opportunities.

**Use Cases:**
- Troubleshoot slow queries
- Identify unindexed fields causing slowdowns
- Debug performance issues
- Optimize query patterns

**Response Includes:**
- Query details (retriever, inputs, latency)
- Results count
- Metadata fields being filtered
- Full query context

**Example:**
```bash
curl -X GET "https://api.mixpeek.com/v1/analytics/namespaces/queries/slow?latency_threshold_ms=1000" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "X-Namespace: your-namespace"
```

## Query parameters

- `days` integer — Days of history to analyze
- `latency_threshold_ms` number — Latency threshold in ms
- `limit` integer — Maximum queries to return
