Retrieving metrics using the REST API

Hi, I want to retrieve metrics using the REST API. Can anybody provide a list of all the metrics available? I'm sure not to be the first one, collecting the metric.name's.   Cheers, Dietmar

Hey mayank,

 

The above results are a user's metrics (/users/id/[id]/metrics). There currently isn't an API call that would get you all metrics for all items in a community.

 

The call you made gets top level community metrics. You can also make the following calls to get metrics about different objects in the community, the following are the most common:

  • categories/id/[id] /metrics - gets metrics for a category
  • boards/id/[id] /metrics - gets metrics for a board
  • users/id/[id] /metrics - gets metrics for a user

This would mean you would have to iterate over all the objects you care about and make the metrics call for each object.

 

There are a few suggestions already in the Customer Ideas board on how to improve how metrics work via Rest API, I would suggest kudoing the ones you like and possibly add a suggestion of your own.

 

Hope this helps,

 

Yuri
