Hi Paul, I work mostly on Kibana so I'm a little rusty when it comes to ES. But I took a look at the [elasticsearch-xpack docs for the Ruby client](https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch-ruby/tree/master/elasticsearch-xpack) and it states:

> For documentation, look into the RDoc annotations in the source files, which contain links to the official [X-Pack for the Elastic Stack](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/x-pack/current/index.html) documentation.

So I looked in the source, and found the definition for the [query action](https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch-ruby/blob/master/elasticsearch-xpack/lib/elasticsearch/xpack/api/actions/sql/query.rb). Can you take a look and let me know if this helps you? This same directory also contains the source for the close cursor and translate actions.

Thanks,  
CJ
