Most of the request objects for LCP Delta API endpoints can be constructed based on the descriptions and examples given in our API Reference.

However, some request object fields have a large number of possible values, or conditional sets of values (such as Series and Option IDs).

In these cases, our products have useful request object builders or viewers on their respective websites.

Enact

Series and History of Forecast API Request Builder

If you want to construct a full request object for the Series Data or History of Forecast endpoints, you can use our Request Builder. This will provide you with the full request object including Series ID, Country ID, Option IDs if applicable, and other fields such as Time-Zone IDs based on your choices.

This is also useful for finding specific field values, particularly if you have an Enact series in mind but don't know its Series ID.

Historic Analysis Request Objects

On the Enact Historic Analysis page, you can click 'Copy API Request Object' after creating a query in the UI and use that for the API.

Series Info Endpoint

If you know the Series and Country ID of an Enact series, you can quickly retrieve Option IDs from our Series Info endpoint (see our API Reference), which does not count towards your monthly API usage.

FLEXtrack

On the FLEXtrack Exporter page, if your current selection is a valid request, then you will be able to click the 'View API Request Object' button. Clicking this will display the JSON request object that represents your selection on the FLEXtrack website.

This request object can be used to populate the corresponding parameters of the Python package helper method, or can be used as the payload if interacting with the API directly.
