Parameter Type Description Required
applicationId string The Store ID of the app for which you want to retrieve install data. Yes
startDate date The start date in the date range of install data to retrieve. The default is the current date. No
endDate date The end date in the date range of install data to retrieve. The default is the current date. No
top int The number of rows of data to return in the request. The maximum value and the default value if not specified is 10000. If there are more rows in the query, the response body includes a next link that you can use to request the next page of data. No

filter string One or more statements that filter the rows in the response. Each statement contains a field name from the response body and value that are associated with the eq or ne operators, and statements can be combined using and or or. String values must be surrounded by single quotes in the filter parameter. You can specify the following fields from the response body:

  • market
  • osVersion
  • deviceType
  • packageVersion
 No
aggregationLevel string Specifies the time range for which to retrieve aggregate data. Can be one of the following strings: day, week, or month. If unspecified, the default is day. No
orderby string A statement that orders the result data values for each install. The syntax is orderby=field [order],field [order],.... The field parameter can be one of the following fields from the response body:

  • applicationName
  • date
  • deviceType
  • market
  • osVersion
  • packageVersion
  • successfulInstallCount

The order parameter is optional, and can be asc or desc to specify ascending or descending order for each field. The default is asc.

Here is an example orderby string: orderby=date,market

 No
groupby string A statement that applies data aggregation only to the specified fields. You can specify the following fields from the response body:

  • applicationName
  • date
  • deviceType
  • market
  • osVersion
  • packageVersion

The returned data rows will contain the fields specified in the groupby parameter as well as the following:

  • date
  • applicationId
  • successfulInstallCount

The groupby parameter can be used with the aggregationLevel parameter. For example: &groupby=ageGroup,market&aggregationLevel=week

 No
