Changelog

This document is the record of all the changes in the Reports API starting from version 3.2.

[v3.4] - Developer preview

The developer preview version provides a preview of the upcoming changes to the API. It's not open to public use. However, if you want to test some features, contact us at developers@livechat.com or ask on the chat, and we'll give you access.

General

  • The HTTP POST method becomes the primary and recommended way of sending requests. HTTP GET is still supported, however, it might fail for more complex requests due to the limitations of the query string length.
  • The request format changed: filters are now nested within the filters field.
  • All methods require the reports_read scope. This applies to all v3.x versions of the Reports API.
  • To provide more consistent experience across all Platform APIs, filters are now aligned with those used in List Archives (the Agent Chat API).
    • The following fields were renamed in all reports:
      • from -> filters.from
      • to -> filters.to
      • groups -> filters.groups.values
      • agents -> filters.agents.values
      • agent_assigned -> filters.agents.exists
      • names -> filters.tags.values
      • names:with -> filters.tags.exists
      • names:without -> filters.tags.exists
      • tags -> filters.tags.values
      • tagged -> filters.tags.exists
      • customer_client_ids -> filters.properties.source.customer_client_id.values
