1. Testing vs inline data - the following works:  

2. The following does not work - Why? - complete source code will follow the illustration.  

Here is the complete source code:  
{  
"$schema": "[https://vega.github.io/schema/vega/v3.json](https://vega.github.io/schema/vega/v3.json)",  
"width": 400,  
"height": 200,  
"padding": 5,  
"autosize": "pad",

"data": [  
{  
"name": "table",

```
  /* "values": [
    {"category": "A", "amount": 28},
    {"category": "B", "amount": 55},
    {"category": "C", "amount": 43},
    {"category": "D", "amount": 91},
    {"category": "E", "amount": 81},
    {"category": "F", "amount": 53},
    {"category": "G", "amount": 19},
    {"category": "H", "amount": 87}
  ] */
  
  "url": { 
  // %context%: true
  // %timefield%: @timestamp
  index: my_newindex
  body: {
    size: 1000
    _source: ["category", "amount"]
    } 
  }
  
}

```
