Hi&nbsp;[@andra\_nosa](https://community.dynatrace.com/user/14826)&nbsp;,

you can try pulling a metric that contains the key requests and split the dimension accordingly.

Take e.g. following command (the output still has duplicates and is not well formatted, but contains only keyRequests)

```markup
curl -X GET "https://<tenant_id>/api/v2/metrics/query?metricSelector=builtin%3Aservice.keyRequest.cpu.perRequest%3AsplitBy%28%22dt.entity.service_method%22%29%3Aavg%3Aauto%3Asort%28value%28avg%2Cdescending%29%29" -H "accept: application/json; charset=utf-8" -H "Authorization: Api-Token <token>" | tr 'dimension' '\n' | grep SERVICE_METHOD

```

Following metric query is being used here:

builtin:service.keyRequest.cpu.perRequest:splitBy(“dt.entity.service\_method”):avg:auto:sort(value(avg,descending))

Best,

Mark

Hi&nbsp;[@mark\_bley](https://community.dynatrace.com/user/13072)&nbsp;and&nbsp;[@techean](https://community.dynatrace.com/user/49581)&nbsp;thanks for sharing with me,

I used this metric&nbsp; **builtin:service.keyRequest.count.total:parents:names** &nbsp;and got all information

This is now also possible using the Settings API ([https://www.dynatrace.com/support/help/shortlink/api-v2-settings-get-objects](https://www.dynatrace.com/support/help/shortlink/api-v2-settings-get-objects)) and the schemaId “builtin:settings.subscriptions.service”.
