Sonarqube 8.9 Enterprise Edition

How can we obtain for a given project, using Sonarqube API, the last analysis date and the subset of metrics associated with that last analysis date?

So far we are using the GET api/measures/component_tree method which has the following example response:

{
  "paging": {
    "pageIndex": 1,
    "pageSize": 100,
    "total": 3
  },
  "baseComponent": {
    "key": "MY_PROJECT",
    "name": "My Project",
    "qualifier": "TRK",
    "measures": [
      {
        "metric": "new_violations",
        "period": {
          "value": "255"
        }
      },
      {
        "metric": "complexity",
        "value": "42"
      },
      {
        "metric": "ncloc",

    ]

    }
  ],
  "period": {

    "date": "2016-01-11T10:49:50+0100",
    "parameter": "1.0-SNAPSHOT"
  }
}

Is there a better way to obtain last analysis date and respective metrics?

Thank you in advance.

Hi,

Unless you’re specifically looking at a ‘history’ web service, you’re always going to get the latest values. To get metadata about the analysis, take a look at the api/project_analyses/search service.
