i wonder, would there happen to be a way to have the query results stored as an excel file / csv / tsv instead of a json? would certainly make it easier for mass consumption.

CSV, TSV, and Excel versions of the results are already available through the API.

Are there any plans to add the ability to retrieve results from a parameterized query with a query api token instead of a user api token? My understanding is that currently this is not possible (as denoted by line 45 in the sample code above).
