string

Path Parameters

project_id

string

required

The project's friendly ID (e.g. prj_aBcD1234eFgH5678).

Body

application/json

event_type

object

required

Show child attributes

Response

The created event type.

string

The event type's friendly ID (e.g. et_aBcD1234eFgH5678).

Example:

"et_aBcD1234eFgH5678"

slug

string | null

name

string | null

description

string | null

created_at

string<date-time>

updated_at

string<date-time>

archived_at

string<date-time> | null

data_point_types

object[]

Show child attributes

requires_locations

boolean

True when expected_locations is two.

requires_tracking_id

boolean

requires_feedstock

boolean

requires_asset

boolean

reusable_in_batches

boolean

cadence_amount

integer<int32> | null

How often an event of this type is expected, as a count of cadence_unit. An event type carries both cadence fields or neither; both null means no cadence is declared, which the app shows as Irregular.

Required range: x >= 1

Example:

15

cadence_unit

enum<string> | null

The unit cadence_amount counts. second, minute and hour measure elapsed time; day and above are calendar periods advanced in the account's time zone, so 1 day and 24 hour are different declarations and a daily stream stays on local midnight across a clock change. From month up, a reading counts toward the period that contains it rather than the nearest period boundary, so a monthly reading taken on the 28th still counts for that month.

Available options:

second,

minute,

hour,

day,

week,

month,

year,

null

Example:

"minute"

ui_url

string<uri>

Link that opens this event type in the Mangrove app.

Example:

"https://app.gomangrove.com/nexus/prj_aBcD1234eFgH5678/data-inputs/event-types/et_aBcD1234eFgH5678"
