On the Dashboards page there are some neat reporting widgets / graphs. I am wondering if there is an API call to retrieve these metrics to show on a Gecko board or something as such. I checked the API docs and I wasn’t able to find anything.

Hi, there is no API for this metrics.

Is this something that is coming? Analytics are quite important for many large organizations. I am surprised this is not available. Assuming your current APIs for this are private, would this be something you can provide to me with the understanding that it would not be supported?

Analytics is available via dashboard of course. Our API concept is to provide booking functionality only to make it easier for developers to use.

Thanks for your reply. I do understand that the plan for these APIs wasn’t anything beyond ease of use and development, however in the growing world where data is very valuable, having metrics available externally would be a huge plus to any of your other enterprise customers.

Considering this feature is industry standard, I would hope that your product team would consider putting this feature on the roadmap.
