Hi,

Is there a way to query Snapshot Metadata via API? As I understand every snapshot of an application is a separate application, but when I retrieve Metadata using this post by ​@DamianAtPigment I only get live applications. In API docs I don’t see that I can configure Snapshot or Live, but maybe I’m missing something.

Why you might ask? I would like to automatically extract data from the same metric via API, but from different snapshots to show and monitor historic changes. I know that I will have to use text comparison to extract the metric by name, but that’s ok.

Thanks!

Hi Kaur,

It is indeed possible to export Metric data from a Snapshot, but for now Snapshots aren’t included in the Metadata API as you found out.

To be honest, this is not a conscious choice, but more how we built it by default since we didn’t see a use case for retrieving Snapshot metadata. We could consider adding it but it’s not planned for now.

The way i understand this is that we d like to be able to extract any data point with api be it live data or a snapshot data point ​@Kaur Lumiste might provide some insight aswell.

Is there a place where we can discuss apis enhancements requests ?
