Can't finde the format of the reportInterval option for the Target API

[marc_blecher]

Hi!

Since the AB activity performance report is restricted to 100 days for daily resolution I have to split my API calls up in several intervals and merge the result manually afterwards.

But the input format of the option reportInterval is not documented (or respectively I haven't found it yet). 😞

The API usually delivers time intervals as a string in the following format: 1477036800000-1477386000000

But if I provide this format for the reportInterval the API call fails with the following error message:

{"httpStatus":400,"requestId":"pVrZB7VcKx0Q9Vllz6KHrN9V2ty3rhy7","requestTime":"2016-10-25T08:54:30.852Z", "errors":[{"errorCode":"typeMismatch.activityPerformanceReportParameters.reportInterval","message":"wrong parameter value [1477036800000-1477386000000] for parameter [reportInterval];","meta":{"reportInterval":"1477036800000-1477386000000"}}]}

What is the correct intervall format for this call?

Marc

Does anybody have an idea about this issue?

Hi Marc,

All the date parameters in our APIs are in the ISO-8601 format. Hence the the Report Interval should be in ISO-8601 format. For more information of ISO-8601 formation please see the following link :https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601 , https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601#Time_intervals

Please try that and if you still can't execute a successful call, please provide the exact call you are making.

Also, We will update the documentation to include the format for parameters

Thanks & Regards

Thank you Parit!

It's a good Idea to update the documentation since the API requires an interval in iso-8601 but returns it as unixtime like this:

"reportInterval" : "1476367200000-1476720000000"

Another issue regarding this:

If you provide the date for a daily report as follows 2016-11-01T00:00:00.000Z/2016-11-01T23:59:59.999Z, the API will return two full days (from 10/31/2016 to 11/1/2016) instead of the requested time period.

You can work around by providing the interval as follows 2016-11-01/2016-11-02. This will return in fact only one day (11/1/2016).

Hi Team,

Is there a way to generate day wise Performance report  for specified date range?

For ex: Date Range: 01-05 to 04-05

Report ex:

Day     experience  PageViews  Orders

01-05        a                xxxx            xxxx

01-05        b                xxxx            xxxx

02-05        a                xxxx            xxxx

    to       

04-05        b               xxxx             xxxx
