Hello @xdy,  
I’m not sure if influx query returns data as CSV with the CLI, but here it is:

> **[influx query | InfluxDB Cloud Documentation](https://docs.influxdata.com/influxdb/cloud/reference/cli/influx/query/)**
>
> The influx query command executes a literal Flux query provided as a string or a literal Flux query contained in a file by specifying the file prefixed with an ‘@’ sign.

It looks hopeful though
