Genesys API: /api/v2/conversations vs /api/v2/analytics/conversations?

I’m trying to pull current interaction data for our WFM adherence reports. The docs show two endpoints that look similar:

GET /api/v2/conversations
GET /api/v2/analytics/conversations

The analytics one seems to return aggregated stats, but I just need the raw list of active chats. When should I use each? I tried the analytics endpoint and got empty results for real-time queries. Is it only for historical data?
