Analytics

get

Retrieve aggregated metrics

Retrieve time-based and countable metrics like average watch time or the number of impressions over a certain period of time.

fromstring

Use this query parameter to define the starting date-time of the period you want analytics for.

  • If you do not set a value for from, the default assigned value is 1 day ago, based on the to parameter.
  • The maximum value is 30 days ago.
  • The value you provide should follow the ATOM date-time format: 2024-02-05T00:00:00+01:00
  • The API ignores this parameter when you call /data/metrics/play/total.
Format
date-time
Example
"2024-02-05T00:00:00+01:00"
tostring

Use this query parameter to define the ending date-time of the period you want analytics for.

  • If you do not set a value for to, the default assigned value is now.
  • The API ignores this parameter when you call /data/metrics/play/total.
  • The value for to is a non-inclusive value: the API returns data before the date-time that you set.
Format
date-time
Example
"2024-02-06T00:00:00+01:00"
uniqueboolean

Use this query parameter to control how viewer data is counted:

  • true means that a single user watching multiple times counts as 1 unique viewer
  • false means that all views count, even if from the same user.

The API accepts this parameter only when you use the ccv or view metric.

Viewers are unique for 1 day.

The API determines uniqueness based on a viewer's user-agent and IP address. This means that the API can filter viewers using multiple tabs to watch the same video multiple times, but cannot filter for viewers who use multiple browsers to watch the same content multiple times.

Example
true
viewDurationstring

Use this query parameter to define how many seconds a view has to last to be counted in analytics data.

  • You can only use this parameter with the view metric.
  • The accepted values are 3s, 5s, 10s, and 30s.
  • If you do not set this parameter, the API defaults to 5s.
Enum
  • 3s
  • 5s
  • 10s
  • 30s
Example
"5s"
filterByobject

Use this parameter to filter the API's response based on different data dimensions. You can serialize filters in your query to receive more detailed breakdowns of your analytics.

  • If you do not set a value for filterBy, the API returns the full dataset for your project.
  • The API only accepts the mediaId and mediaType filters when you call /data/metrics/play/total or /data/buckets/play-total/media-id.

These are the available breakdown dimensions:

  • mediaId: Returns analytics based on the unique identifiers of a video or a live stream.
  • mediaType: Returns analytics based on the type of content. Possible values: video and live-stream.
  • continent: Returns analytics based on the viewers' continent. The list of supported continents names are based on the GeoNames public database. You must use the ISO-3166 alpha2 format, for example EU. Possible values are: AS, AF, NA, SA, AN, EU, AZ.
  • country: Returns analytics based on the viewers' country. The list of supported country names are based on the GeoNames public database. You must use the ISO-3166 alpha2 format, for example FR.
  • deviceType: Returns analytics based on the type of device used by the viewers. Response values can include: computer, phone, tablet, tv, console, wearable, unknown.
  • operatingSystem: Returns analytics based on the operating system used by the viewers. Response values can include windows, mac osx, android, ios, linux.
  • browser: Returns analytics based on the browser used by the viewers. Response values can include chrome, firefox, edge, opera.
  • tag: Returns analytics for videos using this tag. This filter only accepts a single value and is case sensitive. Read more about tagging your videos here.
  • referrer: Filters data based on the URL where the view is originating from. Accepts an empty string as a value to filter view events where no referrer is available.
Example
"filterBy[country]=FR&filterBy[operatingSystem]=windows&filterBy[browser][]=firefox&filterBy[browser][]=chrome&filterBy[tag]=Cool videos"
