Analytics 1.4 API - Rules

It seems like there's a gap in the Analytics Admin 1.4 around rules. First, I don't see an endpoint to get standard processing rules. I've checked all of the endpoints listed on GitHub:

analytics-1.4-apis/index.md at master · AdobeDocs/analytics-1.4-apis · GitHub

Additionally, when I call ReportSuite.GetMarketingChannelRules, I don't see the actual eVar in question in the API response, just:

{

   "ruleset_id": 345,

   "channel_id": 1,

   "junction": "all",

   "channel_value": {

   "type": "referring_domain",

   "id": "0",

   "query_string_parameter": ""

  },

   "rules": [

  {

   "rule_id": 123,

   "hit_attribute": {

   "type": "evar",

   "query_string_parameter": ""

  },

   "operator": "equals",

   "matches": [

   "12312313"

  ]

  },

    1) "processing rules" are not available through API 1.4. at least I haven't seen them either

    2) I would guess the the eVar is "eVar123", because the key "rule_id" is rather the id for the element in this rule than the real ruleID (which is 345)

      Thanks ursboller​!

      I can't find it either, it looks like it was shot down previously:

      https://github.com/AdobeDocs/analytics-1.4-apis/issues/7

      But I can't think of an actual reason to not support it so I opened another ticket to re-litigate the issue:

      Missing Method ReportSuite.GetProcessingRules · Issue #66 · AdobeDocs/analytics-1.4-apis · GitHub

      Regarding #2, 123 was just a placeholder for the real id, since I didn't know if those were meaningful. The ID did not contain the eVar number. So I created a ticket for that as well:

      ReportSuite.GetMarketingChannelRules - Missing eVar # · Issue #65 · AdobeDocs/analytics-1.4-apis · GitHub

        cool! thanks for opening the tickets.

        but, I wouldn't expect that they fix a lot on API 1.4 since 2.0 might be the way to go. hopefully we have those API endpoints sooner than later ...

        ursboller​ very true, but it can't hurt to try :-) I would of course love to get the admin endpoints in the 2.0 API, it's a pain to switch back and forth between the launch and analytics 1.4 APIs.

          agree - that's why we still are on 1.4 in most cases and haven't switched all over to 2.0

          eagerly waiting for more endpoints on 2.0

          Processing Rules API is not available in 1.4 or 2.0 at this time, including read -only API methods. Processing Rule changes are currently restricted to the user interface. There is no announced timeline for when this functionality will be available by API.
