The Query Profiles API, formerly known as the Query API, is used to send queries to a query profile. You can run a query through a query profile by specifying the profile ID and appending the request with a Solr query string, as in /api/query/<id>?<solrQuery>. For query profile CRUD operations, see the Query Profiles CRUD API. You can use the Query Profiles CRUD API to find the profile ID that you want to use with the Query Profiles API: 
curl -u USERNAME:PASSWORD https://EXAMPLE_COMPANY.b.lucidworks.cloud/api/query-profiles

Examples to retrieve query results

curl -u USERNAME:PASSWORD https://EXAMPLE_COMPANY.b.lucidworks.cloud/api/query/PROFILE_ID?q=comedy

        "_lw_pipeline_ss": ["PIPELINE_ID"],

RESPONSE 
{  "response": {"docs": [
      {...

      },
      {...
        "title_t": "Kings of Summer, The (2013)",
       ...
      },]
}
