Device ID in cohort export

Hi,

We’re using the Behavioural Cohorts API to export a cohort of players for programmatic use. We now have a need for the Device ID(s) of these users to be included in our exports.

This doesn’t appear to be possible, since with props=1 and no propKeys argument (so we should be getting all properties for the users), the Device ID(s) are not included. However, it is possible to have the most recently used Device ID for a user included when you sync a cohort to say, S3. 

Am I missing something, or is this a limitation of the cohorts API?

Thanks!

Hi @Adam Chester 

I faintly remember that device_ids were part of the cohort export ( both via Export CSV and API ) once upon a time.

But the new behavior is exporting user_id, amplitude_id + user properties and no device_ids for quite a while now. This is true even when you use the “Download Users” option from any microscope data point.

I’m not sure if their team has any plans to change this behavior.
