Advantages of migrating from API 1.4 to AA 2.0

[Luca_Lattarini]

Hello guys,

I am thinking of migrating API 1.4 to AA 2.0. Can you help to see the list of benefits?

Thanks

@Luca_Lattarini Following are the benefits of API 2.0:

• Faster response times with simpler and more efficient query methods, eliminating the need for polling
• Programmatic capability for queries and dynamic report updates
• More graceful error handling
• Flexible functioning to do to anything you can do in Analysis Workspace
• Consistency and matching of API calls to UI actions
• Access to all Attribution IQ models used in Analysis Workspace
• Access to all Anomaly Detection algorithms used in Analysis Workspace
• Ability to integrate with other Experience Cloud products
• Increased capacity for multiple breakdown reports
• Newest Analytics features availability

However, there are some limitations in terms of supported features. Like following are currently not available via API 2.0:

• Classifications
• Data Warehouse
• Data Sources
• Data Feeds
• Data Insertion
• Real-time data

Still, API 2.0 would be the best bet given that it aligns with Analysis Workspace reports in the UI.

Hope this helps!
