Retrieving custom dimension data on events via the reporting API

Hi

I'd like to make a query about event tracking with the free version of Piwik. When making API requests, I can pull event data for a specific event which brings back a total number of occurrences of that event, e.g. the number of times a button has been clicked. However, I'd like to record the timestamp of each button click so that the retrieved event data can be visualised for a given time period.

I've looked into using custom dimensions for recording extra variables (using the custom dimension plugin). So far, I've been able to store the timestamp in a custom dimension along with the trackEvent, but I am having difficulty retrieving my data with this extra parameter using the reporting API.

My query URL path begins like this: ?module=API&method=Events.getAction&idSite=1&period=month&date=yesterday&segment=eventAction==test-view-333&segment=eventName==10

Here is the raw data returned:
Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[label] => test-view-333
[nb_visits] => 1
[nb_events] => 35
[nb_events_with_value] => 35
[sum_event_value] => 35
[min_event_value] => 1
[max_event_value] => 1
[sum_daily_nb_uniq_visitors] => 1
[avg_event_value] => 1
[segment] => eventAction==test-view-333
[idsubdatatable] => 1
)
)

As you can see, 35 of these specific events have occurred and my aim is to retrieve the full expansion of these results, each event coupled with their respective timestamps.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Kind regards,

Nathan

EDIT: Forgot to add my event tracker code:
_paq.push(['trackEvent', 'test-category', 'test-view-333', 10, 1, {dimension2: '1456298006'}]);
