Retrieve insights

Required API key scopes

insight:read

Path parameters

id
integer
A unique integer value identifying this insight.
project_id
string
Project ID of the project you're trying to access. To find the ID of the project, make a call to /api/projects/.

Query parameters

format
string
One of: "csv""json"
from_dashboard
integer
When loading an insight for a dashboard pass a from_dashboard query parameter containing the dashboard ID

e.g. "/api/projects/{team_id}/insights/{insight_id}?from_dashboard={dashboard_id}"

Insights can be added to more than one dashboard, this allows the insight to be loaded in the correct context.

Using the correct cache and enriching the response with dashboard specific config (e.g. layouts or colors)

refresh

boolean

            The client can request that an insight be refreshed by setting the `refresh=true` parameter.
            The server will then decide if the data should or not be refreshed based on a set of heuristics
            meant to determine the staleness of cached data. The result will contain as `is_cached` field
            that indicates whether the insight was actually refreshed or not through the request.
