Path parameters
- idinteger
A unique integer value identifying this insight.
- project_idstring
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
- formatstringOne of:
"csv"

- from_dashboardinteger
When loading an insight for a dashboard pass a
from_dashboard
query parameter containing the dashboard IDe.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)
- refreshboolean
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.
