Notes

  • Hourly statistics is supported starting with version 4.4.0 of the Revive Adserver REST API. It also requires the use of the core Revive Adserver software with version 5.0 or higher.
  • The current version supports retrieval of hourly statistics for a single day. If hourly statistics are needed for a range of days, retrieve them for each day separately.
  • If there are no statistics for a specific hour, that hour will be skipped in the results.

Notes

Notes

  • The end date in the request is optional. If omitted, the response will consist of just one day (the start date)
  • If you omit both the start date and the end date, or use a invalid date notation for the start date, the end date, or perhaps even both, there will be a response indicating the problem, as follows, for example:
    {
        "error": {
            "type": "DateException",
            "message": "Start date is not valid"
        }
    }
  • Requesting statistics for a date range where the end date is earlier than the start date, results in the following response, for example:
    {
        "error": {
            "type": "Exception",
            "message": "The start date is after the end date"
        }
    }
  • Requesting statistics for a date range that does not have any data, results in the following response, for example:
    {
        "id": 1,
        "start_date": "2017-05-21",
        "end_date": "2017-05-27",
        "days": {
            "data": []
        }
    }
  • Requesting statistics for an advertiser that doesn’t exist results in the following response:
    {
        "error": {
            "type": "Exception",
            "message": "Unknown advertiserId Error"
        }
    }
