I need to show events for the last X days for a given customer on a separate screen through an integration. I’m currently using the v1/v2 “timeline” endpoint and it works great, but of course it’s going to be deprecated soon.
I can get all events for a specific profile using getEvents and a filter, but it doesn’t include the metric name. If I “include” the metric, it just gives me the metric ID, not the name. The only way I can see to do it at the moment is to make a call to get a list of all metrics first to act as a lookup, but that feels really inefficient and messy given how cleanly it works today with v1/v2.
I thought some combination of “include” and sparse fieldsets would let me pull in the metric name, but it doesn’t seem to work that way, or else I’m doing something wrong. I can only ever get the ID with includes.
I’ve found posts from 3+ months ago saying a replacement for “timeline” is being worked on, but nothing since. Am I missing something? Or do I truly need to just wait for this feature to roll out? I’m just a bit worried that it will come late in the year and v1/v2 will be deprecated shortly after, giving me a tiny window to make the changes.
Thank you for any guidance here!
