I am looking for a dataset of queries that are posted in live chats or service providing chats. I want to test my API for tagging a query that is entered by the customer as a question or not a question. I am not able to find a suitable dataset that include some samples like:

  1. where should I go to eat food.
  2. Book a cab which serves food.

The first statement is a question where as second is not.These are the types of queries that a customer might use with out it being grammatically correct. I need a dataset consisting of such data which are used in spoken English.
