# StartQueryWorkloadInsightsTopContributorsData
<a name="API_StartQueryWorkloadInsightsTopContributorsData"></a>

Create a query with the Network Flow Monitor query interface that you can run to return data for workload insights top contributors. Specify the scope that you want to create a query for.

The call returns a query ID that you can use with [ GetQueryResultsWorkloadInsightsTopContributorsData](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/networkflowmonitor/2.0/APIReference/API_GetQueryResultsWorkloadInsightsTopContributorsData.html) to run the query and return the data for the top contributors for the workload insights for a scope.

Top contributors in Network Flow Monitor are network flows with the highest values for a specific metric type. Top contributors can be across all workload insights, for a given scope, or for a specific monitor. Use the applicable call for the top contributors that you want to be returned.
