Description

When using the Adobe Analytics API 2.0 to pull the details of our evars, we also need to know the expiration type and merchandising evar status.

 

Why is this feature important to you

We're currently migrating our projects that use Adobe Analytics API 1.4 to API 2.0, but this latest version doesn't return whether an evar is set as merchandising and what its expiration type is. This feature used to exist in API 1.4, and we still need it as we use the API to keep our documentation up to date.

 

How would you like the feature to work

Include the following key/value pairs in the response:

"expiration_type": "page_view",
"expiration_custom_days": "1",
"merchandising_syntax": "product",
"allocation_type": "merchandising_last"
 
For example, evar25 should return this: 
 {
    "id": "variables/evar25",
    "title": "Internal Campaign Name (Product Syntax) (v25)",
    "name": "Internal Campaign Name (Product Syntax) (v25)",
    "type": "string",
    "category": "Conversion",
    "support": [
        "oberon",
        "dataWarehouse",
        "realtime"
    ],
    "pathable": false,
    "extraTitleInfo": "evar25",
    "segmentable": true,
    "reportable": [
        "oberon"
    ],
    "supportsDataGovernance": true,
    "description": "The ID of an internal promotion placement being impressed upon or clicked. Used to understand internal promotional conversion rates. Format {campaign type}:{campaign name}:{campaign location}",
    "multiValued": false,
    "expiration_type": "page_view",
    "expiration_custom_days": "1",
    "merchandising_syntax": "product",
    "allocation_type": "merchandising_last"
}
 

Current Behaviour

In the current version of API 2.0, there are no details about evars' expiration types and merchandising settings.
