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.
