Unable to upsert and event with "visibility": "2"

[stewartschillingsdi]

https://api.omniture.com/admin/1.4/rest/?method=ReportSuite.GetEvents will return "visibility": "2" for events that have been set to the visibility of "Builders" in the RS Admin UI. For example: [ { "rsid": "ageo1xxpnw.orbital.dev", "site_title": "Orbital Provisions Dev", "ecommerce_level": "enabled", "events": [ { "id": "event1", "name": "Registrations", "description": "", "type": "counter_no_subrelations", "default_metric": false, "participation": "disabled", "serialization": "always_record", "polarity": "positive", "visibility": "2" }, { "id": "event2", "name": "Custom 2", "description": "", "type": "counter_no_subrelations", "default_metric": false, "participation": "disabled", "serialization": "always_record", "polarity": "positive", "visibility": "hidden" }, { "id": "event3", "name": "Product Views Custom (e3)", "description": "Instance of the Product View being set. Occurs when the product detail page is viewed.", "type": "counter", "default_metric": false, "participation": "disabled", "serialization": "always_record", "polarity": "positive", "visibility": "everywhere" }, ...

HOWEVER, posting to https://api.omniture.com/admin/1.4/rest/?method=ReportSuite.SaveEvents with "visibility" set to "2" gives a 400 error with { "error": "Bad Request", "error_description": "invalid visibility option for event", "error_uri": null }

Having the exact same issue here @stewartschillingsdi ... Would be great to know what value can be passed to set up a Builder event.

I haven't had time to look really closely at this or test it out, but that field may be expecting the string id. 'hidden' 'builder_only' 'everywhere' I hope that helps.

Thanks @nateprice7, that made the trick!

@nateprice7 https://github.com/nateprice7, Do you expect that a fix will go in that will cause the list and fetch API operations to return 'builder_only' instead of '2'?

We're just trying to figure out how we need to handle the situation in our code.

Thanks, -Stew

I don't think that we will be updating this area in the 1.4 APIs since we don't want to break existing implementations. The team has been making progress on the 2.0 endpoints for managing variables and that will be the area where we should be able to fix these types of issues and make things more consistent..

Better late than never:

As @nateprice7 indicated, do not expect updates to the 1.4 API's. However, I added verbatim to the docs to explain that GetEvents incorrectly return 2 instead of builder_only.
