Creating a generic metric template

Description

This request allows you to add a new metric template to a specific type within your data structure.

POST /v2/data-structures/{data_structure_id}/types/{type_id}/templates

Scope

To perform this request, you must have the metadata:admin scope.

Parameters

These parameters must be added to the URL to construct the query string :

/v2/data-structures/{data_structure_id}/types/{type_id}/template

Request body

{

"label": "Pression",

"metricTemplate": "{datasource}@{metricId}.{territoire.libelle_court}.{name}.val",

"metricTypeId": "b63f4f26-2103-460f-bb89-727c341ccfb6",

"options": "Name"

}

  • label : The label for the metric template.

  • metric template : This is the generic name for the formulas (calculated metrics) generated by the template.

    Important: You need to specify the database where these formulas will be stored. The syntax for this is as follows: [database]@{tree_property}.documentation

  • metricTypeId : This is the ID of the desired "metric" type already present in your data structure. The generated formulas (calculated metrics) will be added to the data structure with the "metric" type defined here.

  • options : This allows you to specify how you want the metrics generated by the template to appear in the data structure.

    • Label : The metrics will appear with the label of the template that you defined previously.

    • Custom : This allows you to customize the display name of the generated metrics in the data structure.

    • Name : The metrics will appear with their Indaba name.

Request example

# Command to create a new metric template
 curl -X 'POST' \ 
   'https://xxx.indaba.api.indasuite.io-base.com/v2/data-structures/67337415-6bcb-4c21-b0f5-8253d68b6e80/types/e9910c2b-83e9-4954-a1dd-abca2d833999/templates' \

Update a metric's template

Description

This request allows you to update an existing formula template for a given type within your data structure.

PUT /v2/data-structures/{data_structure_id}/types/{type_id}/templates/{template_id}

Scope

To perform this request, you must have the metadata:admin scope.

Parameters

These parameters must be added to the URL to construct the query string :

/v2/data-structures/{data_structure_id}/types/{type_id}/templates/{template_id}

Delete a metric template

Delete /v2/data-structures/{data_structure_id}/types/{type_id}/templates/{template_id}

Scope

To perform this request, you must have the metadata:admin scope.

Parameters

  • template_id (string, mandatory) : This is the ID assigned to the metric template you want to edit. You can retrieve this ID using the GET v2/data-structures/{data_structure_id}/types/{type_id}/templates request or when the template was originally created.

  • delete_metrics (boolean, optional): This field lets you specify whether you want to delete the metrics associated with the template from the data structure. It can take two values :

    • true: The metrics associated with the template will be deleted from the data structure.

    • false (default value): The metrics associated with the template will be kept in the data structure.

These parameters must be added to the URL to construct the query string :

/v2/data-structures/{data_structure_id}/types/{type_id}/templates/{template_id}?delete_metrics=[true or false]

Request example

# Command to delete a specific metric template
 curl -X 'DELETE' \ 
   'https://xxx.indaba.api.indasuite.io-base.com/v2/data-structures/67337415-6bcb-4c21-b0f5-8253d68b6e80/types/e9910c2b-83e9-4954-a1dd-abca2d833999/templates/90cf735d-02fd-4c75-a845-9b118b1b6130?delete_metrics=true' \

Common Errors

You will primarily encounter the following HTTP error codes:

  • 400 Bad Request: Your request is malformed. This may be due to a missing parameter, an incorrect data type, or invalid JSON. The response body will contain an errors array detailing the problem.

{ 
"errors": [ 
{ 
"error": "Type_De_L_Erreur", 
"message": "Description détaillée de l'erreur spécifique." 
} 
], 
"statusCode": 1050, 
"message": "Invalid request" 
}

  • 401 Unauthorized: Your authentication token (JWT) is missing, invalid, or expired. You must obtain a new valid token.

  • 403 Forbidden: Your authentication token is valid, but you do not have the necessary rights for this action. This can happen for two reasons:

    • Your token does not have the required scope (e.g., you are trying to write data without the metrics:write scope).

    • Your token has the correct scope, but your user (or service account) is not linked to an authorization that grants access to the requested metric.

  • 404 Not Found: The resource you are trying to reach does not exist. This typically occurs if you are using an incorrect ID or requesting a metric that does not exist.
