Hi, I am working on Klipfolio api. I am try get data source detail through api. I am able to get the list of data sources (https://app.klipfolio.com/api/1.0/datasources) through this api, but I am unable to get data source detail which i am using this api (https://app.klipfolio.com/api/1.0/datasource-instances/{id}/data). what is the way to get data source detail or anything else i need to do to get data source detail.

  Hi,

  The second API call will give you the data within the data source. If you want to see the details, you'll want to use 

   

  GET https://app.klipfolio.com/api/1.0/datasource-instances/{id}

  You can further customize this by adding ?full=true

  GET https://app.klipfolio.com/api/1.0/datasource-instances/{id}?full=true

  https://apidocs.klipfolio.com/reference#section-get-datasource-instances-id

   

  Can you please try that and let me know if you still aren't seeing the specific details that you need? 

  Thanks

  Hi Meggan, 

  Thanks for co-operation but i am still not able to get the specific details. It always return null (i am using https://app.klipfolio.com/api/1.0/datasource-instances/id?full=true and https://app.klipfolio.com/api/1.0/datasource-instances/id/data). Can you suggest me the way to return actual data or i need to do other actions like permissions.

   

  Thanks

  Hi,

  Did you replace the word id with the actual data source id? This query works correctly for me:

   

  GET https://app.klipfolio.com/api/1.0/datasource-instances/3205e806eaab98dea52e91ef2xxxxxx?full=true

   

  And here are a few of the properties it returns (the list is longer, this is just a sample)

  

   

  What specific details are you trying to get? 

  Thanks,

  - Meggan

  Thanks Meggan,

  Yeah i got the data as you said. But properties filed is empty. Actually I need this data from Klipfolio.

  this data should be get from https://app.klipfolio.com/api/1.0/datasource-instances/{id}/data this api but this api always return null.

  GET https://app.klipfolio.com/api/1.0/datasource-instances/3205e806eaab98dea52e91ef2xxxxxx?full=true this api return only properties like data size and so on.

  Should it possible to get that data(which i mention in image).

  Thanks

  Hi, 

  Where or how are you running this API command? When you try this command in a tool like Postman, does it work to bring back data? 

   

  The request for data should work fine. I've tested it and confirmed this in my account. I'd suggest you open a support ticket with us and we can give you an example using the data source id and your api key. You can reach us at support@klipfolio.com. The team will need the data source id and your Klipfolio user api key.

   

  Thanks,

  Meggan
