Description
## Feature Request
The Python SDK is missing typed methods for two Load Balancing endpoints that are documented in the Cloudflare REST API:
### 1. Load Balancing Analytics Events
**REST endpoint:** `GET /accounts/{account_id}/load_balancing_analytics/events`
Returns per-origin health state change events with timestamps, pool health status, failure reasons, and response codes. This is critical for monitoring when individual origins go unhealthy.
**Current workaround:**
```python
resp = client.with_raw_response.get(
f"/accounts/{account_id}/load_balancing_analytics/events",
cast_to=object,
options={"params": {"per_page": 200, "page": 1, "since": "...", "until": "..."}}
)
data = resp.json()
```
**Desired:**
```python
events = client.load_balancers.analytics.events.list(
account_id=account_id,
since="2026-03-18T00:00:00Z",
until="2026-03-18T23:59:59Z",
)
```
### 2. Pool Health Details
**REST endpoint:** `GET /accounts/{account_id}/load_balancers/pools/{pool_id}/health`
Returns per-PoP, per-origin health status including response codes, RTT, and failure reasons. Useful for diagnosing which specific origins are failing and from which regions.
**Current workaround:**
```python
resp = client.with_raw_response.get(
f"/accounts/{account_id}/load_balancers/pools/{pool_id}/health",
cast_to=object,
)
data = resp.json()
```
**Desired:**
```python
health = client.load_balancers.pools.health.get(
pool_id=pool_id,
account_id=account_id,
)
```
### Use Case
We built an origin health monitor that detects when individual load balancer origins are unhealthy while the pool remains healthy (silent degradation / lost redundancy). Both endpoints are essential for this use case and are documented in the Cloudflare API docs, but require falling back to raw HTTP via `with_raw_response.get()`.
