API state DEPRECATED ?? - OK how & when

[Rooske64]

https://developer.easee.com/reference/charger_getcachedchargerstate_mock states that this API-request is deprecated.

I use this "at home" to monitor charging (e.g. is a car connected, what is the charging current/power).

Question:

• when will it go away and no longer supported ?
• what is the alternative to the state ??

[Rooske64]

Nice these discussuion with an apparent valid question - yet no answer or comment ...

There's alternative APIs that are preferred, where you specify what kind of data you want, instead of getting everything and throwing away 90% of it.

GET https://api.easee.com/state/{CHARGER_ID}/observations?ids=ID1,ID2,ID3

Where ID1, ID2 are the observation ids you are interested in obtaining for that charger, you can see a list of the ids here:
https://developer.easee.com/docs/observation-ids

In the cases where an observation has an enum looking property, you can find their meanings here:
https://developer.easee.com/docs/enumerations

Thx, but it states that "Observations" is also deprecated ...

[skela]

Thats a different API endpoint that gives you historic information for a particular observation.

The one i referred to above is not in the docs yet, but will hopefully be added soon once time permits.

OK perfect - I hope it will be available long before the deprecated request are decommissioned :-)
thx for your feedback
