// - `sql` {String} SQL to execute
//

// - `auth_token` {String} oAuth API token from CartoDB. In URL or request header.
//
// eg. /v1/?sql=SELECT 1 as one&auth_token=my_token
//
// for public (read only) queries:
// - `database` {String} The database to execute queries on
//
// eg. /v1/?sql=SELECT 1 as one&database=my_public_db
//
// NOTE: private queries can only be ran on databases the oAuth key gives access to.
