How to get the Query value widget through datadog api

[kumarsyamala]

Hi

I am trying to use the Datadog Api.

I already have the Datadog dashboard in that we have few widgets which was created to show the trace count query.

I am planning to get the value of the trace count query through Datadog Api using postman. like how we get the details of a dashboard by giving the dashboard id.

I have used the get dashboard Api call through postman, I can the widget and the query also, but I am not getting the value in the response.

Can someone help me in getting the query value from widget trace count?

Hi there, you can try using the query_scalar_data function of the Metrics API - docs here. There's some more info about the endpoint here, and an example usage here.

Hopefully that helps, feel free to reach out if you run into any issues.
