Application Insights SDK Retrieve Custom Events Data

Question

Hello,
I have an event called "Search Term" and one of his properties is "search" which contains the phrase that the user typed.
I want to analyze the data in the backend and create a list of the most popular searches in the site, but I didn't find a way to retrieve the custom event data through the SDK (the only method that I saw to consume data is GetMetric).
Is there a way to do it?

Answer 1

I didn't find a way to accomplish it through SDK but I found an API where you can send queries and retrieve data.

With the API explorer, you can build your query, is so useful

@Hugo Aguirre - Thanks for reaching out and for providing the solution that worked for you.

Here is another SDK that you can take a look at.

A C# SDK is made available for querying an Application Insights app. It supports the full query language.

The SDK is available via NuGet here: https://www.nuget.org/packages/Microsoft.Azure.ApplicationInsights.Query

Additionally, you can leverage the Microsoft.Rest.ClientRuntime.Azure.Authentication package for easier authentication with AAD in lieu of providing your own implementation of ServiceClientCredentials.

Here is the doc for your reference : CSharp-Sdk

Hope this helps.
