How to Get Tag Data type via the API

Forum / Questions & Answers

Is there a way to get the data type of a tag via the Web API, or even a way to export the tag data type manually.

I am trying to integrate with Canary with the Seeq analytics application?  It uses the Web API to read tag, and looks for a Data Type property to know how to handle the tag within Seeq.

    Given that the Data Type is available from the Last Value function from within the Excel Addin, is it available from the GetLastData API function?

    Hi john. patanian ,

    Currently, there is no api call that returns the data type. If wanting the last value, you would use the /getTagData function and not pass in an aggregate or start/end time. This however, does not return a data type, just timestamp, value, and quality. Feel free to add a feature request: https://helpcenter.canarylabs.com/category/data-connectivity
