Building an event request

Current version: 10.4

When the request configuration is complete, you can invoke the Build() method to get the request object.

RequestResponse
var eventRequest = UTRequestBuilder.EventWithDefinitionId("01f8ffbf-d662-4a87-beee-413307055c48")
                                          .AddCustomValues("key1", "value1")
                                          .AddCustomValues("key2", "value2")
                                          .Timestamp(DateTime.Now)
                                          .Build();

When you build a request, you must observe the following rules:

  • You can define optional parameters in any order.

    For example, the following two code samples are both correct requests:

    RequestResponse
    UTRequestBuilder.SearchEvent("some keywords")
                    .DefinitionId("01f8ffbf-d662-4a87-beee-413307055c48")
                    .Timestamp(DateTime.Now)
                    .AddCustomValues("key", "value")
                    .Build();
    RequestResponse
    UTRequestBuilder.SearchEvent("some keywords")
                    .AddCustomValues("key", "value")
                    .Timestamp(DateTime.Now)
                    .DefinitionId("01f8ffbf-d662-4a87-beee-413307055c48")
                    .Build();
  • The Add… methods accumulate values, so you must consider the order in which you invoke them.

    For example, the following request will contain two custom values:

    RequestResponse
    UTRequestBuilder.EventWithDefinitionId("01f8ffbf-d662-4a87-beee-413307055c48")
                    .AddCustomValues("key1", "value1")
                    .AddCustomValues("key2", "value2")
                    .Build();
  • Methods that do not accumulate values should only be invoked once.

    An example of a correct request:

    RequestResponse
    UTRequestBuilder.SearchEvent("some keywords")
                    .DefinitionId("01f8ffbf-d662-4a87-beee-413307055c48")
                    .Build();

    An example of an incorrect request that throws an InvalidOperationException exception:

    RequestResponse
    UTRequestBuilder.SearchEvent("some keywords")
                    .DefinitionId("01f8ffbf-d662-4a87-beee-413307055c48")
                    .DefinitionId("01f8ffbf-d662-4a87-beee-413307055c48")
                    .Timestamp(DateTime.Now)
                    .Timestamp(DateTime.Now)
                    .Build();
