Adobe data warehouse api 1.4- Visits all visitors metric

[prerna]

Hi, I'm trying to extract data via Adobe dwh api 1.4-however, I can't seem to extract 'Visit-All visitors" metric that is exclusive to data warehouse.

I'm passing variables in the body of the request through variable id which makes me think if the id i'm using for that variable is wrong.

Can anybody help me figure out the id for "Visit-All Visitors" metric? 

Ps- I tried using this endpoint "https://api.omniture.com/admin/1.4/rest/?method=ReportSuite.GetEvents"

but the metric "Visit-All Visitors" was not mentioned here.

Any help would be appreciated!

@prerna,

DWH API does not contain a separate id for Visit-All Visitors metric. You would need to use normal visits id to pull out the visits from DWH via API. It will work as expected and you will be able to match the numbers of DWH API with DWH tool export with Visit-All Visitors or workspace reports.

@vibhatna- I am seeing a considerable difference between the two metrics upon extracting data from data warehouse tool, is that because he ‘Visits’ metric in Data Warehouse excludes visitors that don’t have persistent cookies (according to documentation) ? They have mentioned that he ‘Visits - All Visitors’ metric is comparable to the ‘Visits’ metric in other Analytics tools

That's right @prerna ,

If you are using DWH tool from Analytics UI, please use Visits - All Visitors metric to get the same visits number like workspace.

If you are using DWH API please use "visits" id to get the same visits number like workspace.
