# Examples
### Reading table data
```javascript
import * as redivis from 'redivis'
const rows = await redivis
.organization('demo')
.dataset('nyt covid us cases deaths')
.table('covid_us states')
// max_results and variables parameters are optional
// If not specified will return all records and variables
.listRows({ max_results: 100, variables: ['state', 'cases'] })
```
### **Execute a query**
```javascript
// Execute a query against fully qualified tables on Redivis.
// Dataset at https://redivis.com/Demo/datasets/1921
import * as redivis from 'redivis'
const rows = await redivis
.query(`
SELECT *
FROM demo.nyt_covid_us_cases_deaths.covid_us_counties
WHERE state = 'California'
`)
.listRows()
```
### **Execute a scoped query**
```javascript
// Perform a query scoped to the "nyt covid us cases deaths" dataset.
// Table at https://redivis.com/Demo/datasets/1921/tables
// We don't need to include fully-qualified table names
// if we scope our query to the appropriate dataset or workflow
import * as redivis from 'redivis'
const rows = await redivis
.organization('demo')
.dataset('nyt covid us cases_deaths')
.query(`
SELECT *
FROM covid_us_states
WHERE state = 'California'
`)
.listRows()
```
### Embedding in an HTML page

```
### Authorization
{% hint style="info" %}
Authorization will happen automatically when querying data, but you can force an authorization flow via this method.
{% endhint %}
```javascript
import * as redivis from 'redivis'
redivis.authorize()
.then(() => {
// Authorization was successful!
})
.catch((e) => {
// Authorization failed :/
})
```
