Hi,
In response to a query I was pointed at an API operation that is exactly what I need to accomplish my task. It gives me historic event data of a device. However because the operation is undocumented I have concerns about using it.
Operation:
@sbarrett I couldn’t say for sure if this is going to be documented or deprecated, but let me share this with our engineers and as soon as I have a resolution, I’ll ping you back!
Also, is there any REST API documentation available online anymore? I keep seeing references to https://smartthings.developer.samsung.com/develop/api-ref/st-api.html all over these boards but on the new site, is there any place to find this? Basic stuff, like get the status of a light switch is what I’m looking for. Thanks!
@erickv, maybe the issue should be raised at management level. As the documentation has not been updated for many things for a while. (Giving a new skin to it doesn’t change the fact that many things are missing…)
Has any of the thermostat vids has been documented since 2019?
Are the pre-defined vids documented at all?
Why is the vid selector a suspended project on Glitch as well?
I’ve shared your inquiries with our team, not only your concerns about the future of this API and if we can still rely on it, but also the feature request to document the History API.
@erickv, don’t waste your time on my inquire. I have asked the same question about the thermostat vids back in February of 2020 through the official support email and the build email as well. Fabiola Vega took care of it. Since then no change on the documentation…
I’ve been discussing your concerns with some of our engineers in charge of this API, but unfortunately, there’s no plan to make the spec public.
However, to get some track with this inquiry, I’ve documented a Feature Request that will be reviewed as soon as possible, and for now, I recommend you to keep track of the following release notes pages:
