How to get EventType through Dashboard Rest Api

yingjie.duan

Hi,

Get JSON results from any existing (saved) chart by chart ID.

GET https://amplitude.com/api/3/chart/CHART_ID_HERE/query

There is no EventType in the obtained result, but only one eventIndex. How do I obtain the corresponding EventType?

Hey yingjie.duan.

You are correct. The current result set for the https://amplitude.com/api/3/chart/CHART_ID_HERE/query endpoint doesn’t return the eventType used for that given event segmentation chart.

However, if you query a user composition chart in this manner, the result set includes the name of user property which was used in that chart. eg. u'seriesLabels': [u'gp:<yourCustomUserPropertyName']

Also, the documentation says that “Responses will vary depending on the chart type.”

I’m curious to know your use case for using this particular endpoint. I have personally used the GET https://amplitude.com/api/2/events/segmentation endpoint to build some custom time series raw data points for some of my projects.

Hi Saish Redkar

Thank you for your answer. We want to monitor these eventtypes, and then send reminder emails if they exceed a certain limit.

Happy to help, yingjie.duan !
You can set custom monitoring alerts for Amplitude charts and trigger emails based on your alert conditions. This is a paid add on for the Growth and Enterprise customers. You can read more on the Insights feature here.
