Querying New Data with Engage API: A Quick Guide
How do I query for data using engage api that was not previously queried?
How do I query for data using engage api that was not previously queried?
To query for data using the Engage API that was not previously queried, you need to use the /engage endpoint without providing a session_id parameter. Here's how you can do it:
1. Make a POST request to the /engage endpoint.
2. Include the necessary parameters in your request, such as project_id, where (for filtering), and any other relevant parameters.
3. Omit the session_id parameter to ensure you're not retrieving cached results from a previous query.
Here's an example of how you might structure your request:
```
curl --request POST --url https://mixpanel.com/api/2.0/engage --header 'Authorization: Basic <your_auth_token> ' --header 'Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded' --data 'project_id=<your_project_id> ' --data 'where=<your_filter_expression> '
LBKSIt's important to note that:
1. The Engage API has rate limits: 60 queries per hour and a maximum of 5 concurrent queries [Query API - Engage](https://github.com/mixpanel/docs/blob/main/reference/Query%20API/engage/engage-query.md).
2. API responses will return at most `page_size` records for each request. If you need to retrieve additional records, you'll need to make subsequent requests using the `session_id` returned in the first response and incrementing the `page` parameter [Query API - Engage](https://github.com/mixpanel/docs/blob/main/reference/Query%20API/engage/engage-query.md).
3. You can use the `where` parameter to filter users by specific criteria, and the `output_properties` parameter to specify which properties you want returned [Query API - Engage](https://github.com/mixpanel/docs/blob/main/reference/Query%20API/engage/engage-query.md).
For more detailed information on using the Engage API, including all available parameters and response formats, you can refer to the [Mixpanel Developer Reference](https://developer.mixpanel.com/reference/engage-query).
