Include Raw Unformatted Numbers and Dates in Query API

Right now, if we fetch query data through the API:

  • Numbers: for number fields we get the formatted number, we would like the unformatted (raw) number in addition to this. The raw number is available in the API if you specify summing in the query so ideally this would just be available regardless of Summing settings on the query.

    • Screenshots provided show:

      • PLI Request without Sum on Query where the raw number is not available

      • Same Request but with SUM enabled on Total Field, note the extra _Raw properties on all number values

    • Example:

      • Current

        Desired

        triUsableAreaNU: 1,000 square-feet

        triUsableAreaNU_Raw: 1000


        triUsableAreaNU: 1,000 s

  • Dates: we'd also like the ISO string version of dates to be available in the data (this doesn't exist currently). Is it possible to receive the date field data in ISO format in addition to the formatted value currently sent by the API? Also, we would like to be able to send date values in ISO format for filtering, since we've found inconsistencies when filtering with certain date formats.
