### Asynchronous Query Example

Source: https://products.wolframalpha.com/api/documentation?scrollTo=selecting-pods-by-title

This example demonstrates how to use the `async=true` parameter to enable asynchronous mode for a 'weather' query. In this mode, the API returns an XML document where some pods are represented as URLs that need to be requested in a second step to get their actual XML content.

```APIDOC
## Asynchronous Mode

By default, the API behaves synchronously, meaning that the entire XML document that represents the result of a query is returned as a single unit. The caller gets nothing back until the entire result is ready. By specifying `async=true`, you can tell Wolfram|Alpha to return an XML document in which some pods are represented as URLs that need to be requested in a second step to get their actual XML content. Do not confuse this with image URLs that are part of a normal result when the image format type is requested. Although the actual data in the images must be requested as a second step, the images themselves are already completely generated by the time the original XML result is returned.

Here is an example using the "weather" query:

### Request
```
http://api.wolframalpha.com/v2/query?appid=DEMO&input=weather&async=true
```

This returns the following XML:

### Response Example (Partial)
```xml
<queryresult success="true" error="false" numpods="3" datatypes="City,Weather" timedout="Data,Character" timedoutpods="Weather history & forecast,Historical temperatures for December 1,Weather station information" timing="4.573" parsetiming="0.09" parsetimedout="false" recalculate="http://www1.wolframalpha.com/api/v2/recalc.jsp?id=MSPa241bb3824736e9f4h600005cb57b31ibcb9f61&s=14" id="MSPa251bb3824736e9f4h6000066b50g24ci9gf998" host="http://www1.wolframalpha.com" server="14" version="2.6">

### Initial Query with Short Scan Timeout

Source: https://products.wolframalpha.com/api/documentation?scrollTo=assumption-FormulaVariableInclude

Use a short scantimeout to get the initial set of pods back quickly. This example demonstrates a query for 'pi' with a scantimeout of 1.0 second.

```URL
http://api.wolframalpha.com/v2/queryappid=DEMO&?input=pi&scantimeout=1.0
```

### Querying with includepodid and format parameters

Source: https://products.wolframalpha.com/api/documentation?scrollTo=assumption-MixedFraction

This example demonstrates how to use the `includepodid` parameter to fetch a specific pod and the `format` parameter to specify the desired output type.

```APIDOC
## GET /v2/query

### Description
Customizes API output by including only specified pods and formatting the results.

### Method
GET

### Endpoint
/v2/query

### Parameters
#### Query Parameters
- **appid** (string) - Required - An ID provided by Wolfram Research that identifies the application or organization making the request.
- **input** (string) - Required - URL-encoded text specifying the input string.
- **includepodid** (string) - Optional - Specifies a pod ID to include in the result. To specify multiple elements, use multiple instances of the parameter.
- **format** (string) - Optional - The desired format for individual result pods. For multiple formats, separate values with a comma.

### Request Example
```
http://api.wolframalpha.com/v2/query?appid=DEMO&input=population%20france&includepodid=Result&format=plaintext
```

### Response
#### Success Response (200)
- **queryresult** (object) - Contains the results of the query.
  - **pod** (array) - An array of pods returned in the result.
    - **title** (string) - The title of the pod.
    - **subpod** (array) - An array of subpods within the pod.
      - **plaintext** (string) - The plain text content of the subpod.
      - **img** (object) - Image element if available.
        - **src** (string) - Source URL of the image.
        - **alt** (string) - Alt text for the image.
        - **title** (string) - Title of the image.
        - **width** (string) - Width of the image.
        - **height** (string) - Height of the image.

#### Response Example
```xml
<queryresult success="true" error="false" numpods="1" datatypes="" timedout="" timedoutpods="" timing="0.723" parsetiming="0.266" parsetimedout="false" recalculate="" id="MSPa1751g37h8915724h4b80000365icce2he8ca3g1" host="http://www1.wolframalpha.com" server="12" version="2.6">
    <pod title="Result" scanner="Data" id="Result" position="100" error="false" numsubpods="1" primary="true">
        <subpod title="">
        <plaintext>

</queryresult>
```

### Increasing scantimeout to get more pods

Source: https://products.wolframalpha.com/api/documentation?scrollTo=result-futuretopic

For general queries, increasing scantimeout can yield more pods. This example shows a query with scantimeout set to 4, resulting in nearly double the number of pods compared to the default setting.

```xml
<queryresult success="true" error="false" numpods="8" datatypes="" timedout="" timedoutpods="" timing="3.5" parsetiming="0.5" parsetimedout="false" recalculate="http://www1.wolframalpha.com/api/v2/recalc.jsp?id=MSPa123g3d0ef867ddhf940000522c808eic67ab0d&s=12" id="MSPa456g3d0ef867ddhf94000061a1ffic9c0h723a" host="http://www.wolframalpha.com" server="12" version="2.6"> <pod title="General" scanner="Identity" id="Input" position="100" error="false" numsubpods="1">...</pod> <pod title="Population" scanner="Numeric" id="Result" position="200" error="false" numsubpods="1" primary="true"> <subpod title=""> <plaintext> 1,362,319 </plaintext> </subpod> </pod> <pod title="Capital" scanner="Location" id="Capital" position="300" error="false" numsubpods="1"> <subpod title=""> <plaintext> Augusta </plaintext> </subpod> </pod> ... </queryresult>
```

### Image Map Data Retrieval

Source: https://products.wolframalpha.com/api/documentation?scrollTo=podtimeout-scantimeout

This example shows how to request image and imagemap formats to get data for interactive image maps within pods. The imagemap data contains clickable regions and their associated queries.

```APIDOC
## Requesting Image Map Data

To retrieve image map data along with the image, include both `image` and `imagemap` in the `format` parameter.

### Method
GET

### Endpoint
`/v2/query`

### Query Parameters
- **appid** (string) - Required - Your WolframAlpha API application ID.
- **input** (string) - Required - The query input.
- **format** (string) - Required - Comma-separated list of desired formats. Include `image,imagemap`.

### Example URL
`http://api.wolframalpha.com/v2/query?appid=DEMO&input=france&format=image,imagemap`

### Image Map Structure

The response will contain an `<imagemap>` element within relevant pods. This element includes `<rect>` subelements, each defining a clickable region with `left`, `top`, `right`, and `bottom` coordinates, a `query` attribute (URL-encoded), and a `title` attribute for display.

#### Example Image Map Pod Structure

<pod title='Name' scanner='Data' id='Identifiers:CountryData' position='200' error='false' numsubpods='1'>
  <subpod title=''>
    <img src='...' alt='...' title='...' width='294' height='106' />
    <imagemap>
      <rect left='12' top='8' right='39' bottom='28' query='France+full+name' assumptions='ClashPrefs_*Country.France.CountryProperty.FullName-' title='France full name' />
      ...
    </imagemap>
  </subpod>
  ...
</pod>

### Executing Image Map Queries

To simulate a click on a region, use the `query` attribute from the `<rect>` element and optionally include the `assumptions` attribute in a new API request.

#### Example Query URL with Assumption
`http://api.wolframalpha.com/v2/query?appid=DEMO&input=France+full+name&assumption=ClashPrefs_*Country.France.CountryProperty.FullName-`
```
