Retrieving segment definitions via API

[#1]

We want to document and track versions of SiteCatalyst segment definitions outside of the system. 

The way we do this now is copy/pasting from the information window in SiteCatalyst but it's inefficient and prone to errors (e.g. marking exclusion blocks).

Looking a bit further into it I can see that when the information icon is clicked to view the segment definition it actually retrieves a json object from an appservice:

https://appservice1.omniture.com/analytics/1.0/segments/?expansion=definition

Which looks like this (apologies for this formatting):

{

• "id": "53aaaf4ce4b0acd00fa0563b",
• "name": "",
• "description": null,
• "rsid": "",
• "owner":{
  • "id": 440376
  },
• "definition":{
  • "container":{
    • "context": "hits",
    • "func": "container",
    • "pred":{
      • "val":{
        • "description": "Pages (Conversion) (evar7)",
        • "name": "variables/evar7",
        • "func": "attr"
        },
      • "str": "",
      • "func": "streq"
      }
    },
  • "func": "segment",
  • "version":[
    • 1,
    • 0,
    • 0
    ]
  }

}

When calling that url with a different segment id the response returns access denied (as it should). I would like to be able to download all json responses from any report suite for all segments though. Either through calling this service or via the SC API.

Great suggestion.
