Retrieving Trend Data
Using the eG REST API, administrators can retrieve the trend data of the tests across all relevant component types.
Note:
Note that this API retrieves the data from the eG backend database and displays in the same format as stored in the database. If you wish to retrieve the trend data in a processed format, you can use the following APIs:
Retrieving Hourly Trend Data
Retrieving Daily Trend Data
Retrieving Monthly Trend Data
The table below specifies the URL and the parameters that should be used to retrieve the measures of the tests.

Retrieving Trend Data using cURL
To retrieve trend data of the tests using cURL, the command should be specified in the following format:
curl -L -X POST "http://<eG Manager IP:Port>/api/eg/analytics/getTrendData" -H "user:<eG username or domain/eG username>" -H "pwd:Base64 encoded password" -H "managerurl:http://<eG Manager IP:Port>" -H"Content-Type:application/json" --data-raw "{\"test\":\"Test name\",\"componentName\":\"Name of Component\",\"info\":\"Descriptor name\",\"measure\":\"comma-separated list of measures\",\"showData\":\"Trend\"}"
Figure 2 shows an example to retrieve the trend data for the measures of a chosen test using cURL.
