    The raw data export documentation is clear when it comes to generating a request for a specific dataset. It reads:
    One of the following event types: appStart, appRunning, deviceInfo, custom, transaction, or userInfo.​

    What we can't figure out is how request a specific custom event type. We don't want ALL custom events, just game_over.

    In the raw data export dashboard, you choose your event type (appStart, custom, etc), and if you choose Custom there is a Name dropdown which lets you only export things like game_over, ad_offer, etc.

    How does one specify the custom event name using the raw data export API?

    Yes, that is possible via the API, we just didn't update the docs when we added that feature.

    Here is the format for that request:

    Code (csharp):
    1. {
    2. "startDate": "2017-07-16",
    3. "endDate": "2017-07-17",
    4. "format": "json",
    5. "dataset": "custom",
    6. "filterCustomEventName": "gameStart"
    7. }

    Thank you @ap-unity! I tried guessing lots of different param names but never tried "filterCustomEventName".
