    <p>I have a question regarding sending a Web API call to sendgrid:</p> <p>The following documentation is used to retrieve advanced stats:</p> <p><a href="http://sendgrid.com/docs/API_Reference/Web_API/Statistics/statistics_advanced.html" rel="nofollow">http://sendgrid.com/docs/API_Reference/Web_API/Statistics/statistics_advanced.html</a></p> <p>In the "Call" section, the following has been mentioned:</p> <pre><code>POST https://api.sendgrid.com/api/stats.getAdvanced.json POST Data api_user=your_sendgrid_username&amp;api_key=your_sendgrid_password&amp;start_date=2013-01-01&amp;end_date=2013-01-02&amp;data_type=global </code></pre> <p>I understand that I need to use cfhttp for the Web API call and I should be mentioning <code>"https://api.sendgrid.com/api/stats.getAdvanced.json"</code> in the url parameter of the <code>cfhttp</code> tag.</p> <p>Where do I need to mention api_user and api_key portion? I understand that I will have to mention my sendgrid's account username and password here. </p> <p>For Explanation Purpose let's consider the following dummy values for:</p> <pre><code>api_user = stack api_key = 123456 </code></pre> <p>Please let me know. I am trying to send an API call an get the data back in JSON format.</p> <p>Thanks</p> <p><strong>ATTEMPT #1</strong></p> <p>I am using the following code:</p> <pre><code>&lt;cfhttp url="https://api.sendgrid.com/api/stats.getAdvanced.json" method="POST" result="returnStruct"&gt; &lt;cfhttpparam name="api_user" value="stack" type="formfield"&gt; &lt;cfhttpparam name="api_key" value="123456" type="formfield"&gt; &lt;!--- &lt;cfhttpparam name="days" value="5" type="formfield"&gt; ---&gt; &lt;cfhttpparam name="start_date" value="2013-12-06" type="formfield"&gt; &lt;!--- &lt;cfhttpparam name="end_date" value="2013-12-09" type="formfield"&gt; ---&gt; &lt;/cfhttp&gt; &lt;cfdump var="#returnStruct#"&gt; </code></pre> <p>I am getting the following error in the form of Structure. Am I doing something wrong above? Please check my code below.</p> <pre><code>Charset [empty string] ErrorDetail [empty string] Filecontent {"error": "error in data_type: data_type is required"} Header HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request Content-Type: text/html Connection: close Date: Tue, 10 Dec 2013 06:21:19 GMT Server: nginx/1.4.2 Mimetype text/html Responseheader struct Connection close Content-Type text/html Date Tue, 10 Dec 2013 06:21:19 GMT Explanation Bad Request Http_Version HTTP/1.1 Server nginx/1.4.2 Status_Code 400 Statuscode 400 Bad Request Text YES </code></pre> <p>I am wondering, which <code>data_type</code> it is referring to, as the documentation doesn't talks about it.</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
