Examples

The examples provided below are helpful for solving common tasks.

These requests don't define the date1 and date2 parameters (the dates of the beginning and end of the reporting period). By default, the reporting period is 7 days (including the current day).

A demo account is used as the id parameter.

The /stat/v1/data method is used for making requests.

Note. The request language (the lang parameter) affects filter values.

Displaying data by time

The /stat/v1/data/bytime method is used for getting data.

The examples below show how to get data for a specific period of time. This data can be grouped together. To define the type or number of groups (dimensions), use the row_ids or top_keys parameter. If the row_ids parameter is omitted, the top_keys parameter is used automatically. By default, it is set to 7 (the maximum is 30).

More information about parameters

  • row_ids — Array of arrays in JSON format. Each sub-array may contain dimension values (name or id) corresponding to the set of values defined in the request for the dimensions parameter. The sub-array size indicates the dimensions that data is grouped by.

    For example, if data is grouped by a single dimension, the size of this sub-array is 1.

    ...?row_ids=[["Russia"]]&...&dimensions=ym:s:regionCountryName,ym:s:regionAreaName,ym:s:regionCityName&...
    Note.

    If a sub-array contains dimension values for a single group (for example, Geography), data is grouped by the last specified dimension.

    ...?row_ids=[["Russia","Saratovskaya region","Saratov"]]&...&dimensions=ym:s:regionCountryName,ym:s:regionAreaName,ym:s:regionCityName&...

    To use multiple sub-arrays, separate them with commas:

    ...?row_ids=[["Russia"],["Russia","Saratovskaya region"],["Russia","Saratovskaya region","Saratov"]]&...&dimensions=ym:s:regionCountryName,ym:s:regionAreaName,ym:s:regionCityName&...

  • The top_keys parameter takes the first values from the dataset in the first dimension specified in the request. You can set the quantity of these values (30 maximum). Data is sorted in the API response by decreasing order of the first value of the metrics parameter.

    ...?top_keys=3&...&dimensions=ym:s:regionCountry,ym:s:regionArea,ym:s:regionCity&group=day&ids=44147844&metrics=ym:s:visits

“Sources, Summary” report

In the example, the response will contain data grouped by the type of traffic source.

Example without the row_ids parameter. The top_keys parameter is used by default:

Number of views per day for the last 30 days (chart)

In the example, data is given for making a chart. The /stat/v1/data/bytime method is used for getting data.

group=day

https://api-metrika.yandex.net/stat/v1/data/bytime?metrics=ym:s:hits&date1=30daysAgo&date2=today&group=day&id=44147844

Comparing segments

The /stat/v1/data/comparison method is used for comparing data.

Comparison of two days

In this example, we compare the number of users. Data is grouped by traffic source.

metrics=ym:s:users

dimensions=ym:s:trafficSource

date1_a=today

date1_b=yesterday

https://api-metrika.yandex.net/stat/v1/data/comparison?metrics=ym:s:users&dimensions=ym:s:trafficSource&date1_a=today&date1_b=yesterday&id=44147844

Comparing sessions from mobile and non-mobile devices

In this example, the number of users and bounce rate are compared. Data is grouped by traffic source.

metrics=ym:s:users,ym:s:bounceRate

dimensions=ym:s:trafficSource

filters_a=ym:s:isMobile=='Yes'

filters_b=ym:s:isMobile=='No'

https://api-metrika.yandex.net/stat/v1/data/comparison?metrics=ym:s:users,ym:s:bounceRate&dimensions=ym:s:trafficSource&filters_a=ym:s:isMobile=='Yes'&filters_b=ym:s:isMobile=='No'

Drill down

The /stat/v1/data/drilldown method is used for getting data.

“Operating systems” report in tree view

To generate the “Operating systems” report in tree view, you need to:

  1. Send a request to get top-level data using the tech_platforms preset (the Operating systems report).

    https://api-metrika.yandex.net/stat/v1/data/drilldown?preset=tech_platforms&id=44147844

  2. In the response, the expand parameter has the value true. This means that the node can be expanded to the next level. In our case, we can get data about the operating system version.

    ...
{
    "dimension": {
        "id": "100",
        "name": "Windows"
    },
    "metrics": [
        21779,
        52056,
        17.7786,
        2.39019,
        182.664
    ],
    "expand": true
}
...

    To do this, we define the path to this level from the root in the parent_id parameter. Since the id element of the dimension parameter has the value "100", the request will look like this:

    https://api-metrika.yandex.net/stat/v1/data/drilldown?preset=tech_platforms&id=44147844&parent_id=["100"]

    In the response, the expand parameter has the value false. In other words, this node can't be expanded further.

    ...
{

    "dimension": {
        "id": "33",
        "name": "Windows 7 or 2008 Server"
    },
    "metrics": [
        14948,
        36300,
        7214,
        42842,
        048
    ],
    "expand": false

}
...
