Feature Request: Individualized Pagination Endpoint for Time Series Datapoints API

Hi,

It would be great to have the creation of an endpoint based on the one below:
https://api-docs.cognite.com/20230101/tag/Time-series/operation/getMultiTimeSeriesDatapoints

Currently, this endpoint allows requesting multiple items in a single call and returns the next page individually for each requested item.

For Celonis’ REST extractor, this pagination model creates a limitation, as the platform works better with individual pagination, where each response contains only one component and a single pagination continuation token.

Today, to enable this extraction, a Python-based workaround is being used within the environment, since the current model is not compatible with the standard extractor.

We would like to check if it is possible to make the endpoint available in a more individualized format, with one time series per response, or if there is already an alternative endpoint that supports this scenario. This would greatly help improve the standardization and stability of the integration.

Sharing the user’s assessment regarding the available data extraction methods:

Extraction Builder

This solution, offered by Celonis, works very well for REST APIs. However, for the current endpoint structure, pagination is not supported. To solve this issue, it would be enough to update or create a new endpoint that returns only one result per response instead of a nested list structure.

SDK

The SDK offers a flexible solution but carries higher implementation risk. It would require using an existing middleware layer to orchestrate the extractions, which is currently considered unfeasible due to resource constraints, access dependencies, and a longer development timeline compared to other alternatives.

Thank you for posting your idea. We've received it and are evaluating your suggestion. A PM will review the request for an individualized time series datapoints pagination model for Celonis-style REST extraction and follow up with next steps.

Hi ​@Luciana Velasco Medani!

Thanks for the detailed write-up for this Product Idea.

A short update on where we stand on this: the existing multi-timeseries datapoints endpoint is GA and is used as-is by many customers and partners, so adding a new variant with a different pagination shape is not something we are planning in the short term. We will keep this idea open and track interest from the wider community. If more customers run into the same constraint, that helps us weigh it against other priorities for a future version of the API.

In the meantime, the most direct path forward is likely a conversation with Celonis about adding support in the Extraction Builder for endpoints with nested cursor pagination. This is a common pattern across REST APIs that return batches, and the capability would help Celonis users beyond just the CDF integration.

If anyone else in the community is hitting the same issue, an upvote or a comment on this post helps us gauge demand.
