REST API command plan details
Best answer by Stuart Painter
Hi Christophe
I have checked internally and found Plan retention can be obtained with get plan:
GET <webservice>/v2/Plan/{id}?propertyLevel=20
will provide “retainBackupDataForDays” response parameter.
Thanks,
Stuart

Hi Christophe
Thanks for the question, I’ve been checking the REST API calls and can see GET Plan doesn’t contain retention, nor does GET Plan/{id}. Also storage policy api calls don’t include retention in the response.
We have PUT <webservice>/Plan/{planId}/Storage/Modify that can set PrimaryRetentionInDays and SecondaryRetentionInDays, but I also don’t see a simple API call to get the retention.
An alternative may be to call a dataset from a report to obtain this information:

I’ll keep checking and see if there’s a simple way to obtain Plan retention for you.
Thanks,
Stuart
