# [[Range vectors in LogQL]]
![[Range vectors in LogQL.svg]]
[[Range vectors]] in [[Grafana Loki|Loki]] [[LogQL]] are numeric values derived from logs within a specified time interval that have a set of [[Labels]].
For example, in the sample LogQL query:
```logql
rate({job="api"} |= "error" [5m])
```
the `rate()` function is being applied to a range vector, which is everything inside the parentheses. The query as a whole will return an [[Instant vectors in LogQL|instant vector]] because of `rate()`.
Here's an example of what might be returned by that query, as a matrix of two range vectors (one per stream):
```json
{
"status": "success",
"data": {
"resultType": "matrix",
"result": [
{
"metric": {
"job": "api",
"instance": "api-1:9090"
},
"values": [
[1721230200, "0.033"],
[1721230260, "0.050"],
[1721230320, "0.067"],
[1721230380, "0.050"],
[1721230440, "0.040"]
]
},
{
"metric": {
"job": "api",
"instance": "api-2:9090"
},
"values": [
[1721230200, "0.003"],
[1721230260, "0.010"],
[1721230320, "0.007"],
[1721230380, "0.013"],
[1721230440, "0.010"]
]
}
]
}
}
```
The result above is the [[JSON]]-formatted response that Loki might return if the query were sent via the [[Loki API]].
