Attention.

Access tokens will not be accepted in URL parameters starting February 13, 2019. To continue working with the Yandex.Metrica API, set up authorization by passing the token in the HTTP header.

The outdated authorization method will be temporarily disabled on January 23, January 30, and February 6 for maintenance. Authorization using URL parameters will be unavailable on these dates.

The examples provided below are helpful for solving common tasks.

These requests do not define the date1 and date2 parameters (the dates of the beginning and end of the report period). By default, the report period is 7 days (including the current day).

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

Presets

Sources — Summary report

preset=sources_summary

https://api-metrica.yandex.net/stat/v1/data?preset=sources_summary&id=44147844

Sources — Summary report. Users from California

preset=sources_summary

filters=ym:s:regionAreaName=='State of California'

Report data is segmented using the parameter  filters=ym:s:regionAreaName=='State of California' .

https://api-metrica.yandex.net/stat/v1/data?preset=sources_summary&filters=ym:s:regionAreaName=='State of California'&id=44147844

Technologies — Browsers report

preset=tech_platforms

dimensions=ym:s:browser

This preset helps create a report on user browsers, without accounting for the browser version.

https://api-metrica.yandex.net/stat/v1/data?preset=tech_platforms&dimensions=ym:s:browser&id=44147844

where the parameter dimensions=ym:s:browser sets a dimension in the preset for grouping resulting data.

Segmentation

Number of sessions and users, including search engines

dimensions=ym:s:searchEngine

metrics=ym:s:visits,ym:s:users

filters=ym:s:trafficSource=='organic'

https://api-metrica.yandex.net/stat/v1/data?dimensions=ym:s:searchEngine&metrics=ym:s:visits,ym:s:users&filters=ym:s:trafficSource=='organic'&id=44147844

Number of sessions and new users, including search engines

dimensions=ym:s:searchEngine

metrics=ym:s:visits,ym:s:users

filters=ym:s:trafficSource=='organic' AND ym:s:isNewUser=='Yes'

https://api-metrica.yandex.net/stat/v1/data?dimensions=ym:s:searchEngine&metrics=ym:s:visits,ym:s:users&filters=ym:s:trafficSource=='organic' AND ym:s:isNewUser=='Yes'&id=44147844

Number of sessions with depth greater than 5 pages

metrics=ym:s:visits

filters=ym:s:pageViews>5

https://api-metrica.yandex.ru/stat/v1/data?metrics=ym:s:visits&filters=ym:s:pageViews>5&id=44147844

Sources — Keywords report

This example helps you create a report that includes users who visited the page indicated in the request. In this request, the page URL contains the specified id.

To set id in the filters parameter, use a regular expression: .*/id[0-9]+/.*

preset=sources_search_phrases

filters=ym:pv:URL=~'.*/id[0-9]+/.*'

https://api-metrica.yandex.net/stat/v1/data?preset=sources_search_phrases&filters=ym:pv:URL=~'.*/id[0-9]+/.*'&id=44147844

Dimensions and metrics

Number of sessions

metrics=ym:s:hits

https://api-metrica.yandex.net/stat/v1/data?metrics=ym:s:hits&id=44147844

Number of users and conversion rate for a specified goal

This example uses parametrization of the ym:s:goal<goal_id>conversionRate metric by the goal ID:

metrics=ym:s:users,ym:s:goal<goal_id>conversionRate

dimensions=ym:s:trafficSource

goal_id=<Goal ID>

The report will include the number of users who reached the specified goal. Data will be grouped by traffic source.

https://api-metrica.yandex.net/stat/v1/data?dimensions=ym:s:trafficSource&metrics=ym:s:users,ym:s:goal%3Cgoal_id%3EconversionRate&goal_id=30606884&id=44147844

Conversion rate for multiple goals

This example uses parametrization of the ym:s:goal<goal_id>conversionRate metric by the goal ID in the expression body:

metrics=ym:s:users,ym:s:goal<first goal ID>conversionRate,ym:s:goal<second goal ID>conversionRate

https://api-metrica.yandex.net/stat/v1/data?metrics=ym:s:users,ym:s:goal30606884conversionRate,ym:s:goal4197739conversionRate&id=44147844

API requests. 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. 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 size of a sub-array indicates the dimensions that data will be 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 the sub-array contains dimension values of a single group (for example, Geography), the 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","Saratov 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 data set 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.

API requests. Drilldown

Technologies-Operating systems report in tree view

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

  1. Send a request for getting top-level data, using the tech_platforms preset (the Operating systems report).

    https://api-metrica.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 will 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-metrica.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 cannot be expanded further.

    ...
{

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

}
...
