Data usage report for data providers

This report provides details related to your usage of data provided by third parties (e.g., user segment providers), the costs of that data usage and the campaigns in which that data was used to target users.

The time_granularity of the data is hourly.

Warning

For impressions older than 100 days, the day is returned rather than the hour. For instructions on retrieving a report, see the Example below.

Time frame

The report_interval field in the JSON request must be set to one of the following:

  • today
  • yesterday
  • last_7_days
  • last_30_days
  • month_to_date
  • quarter_to_date
  • last_month
  • lifetime

Tip

To run a report for a custom time frame, set the start_date and end_date fields in your report request. For more details about these fields, see Report Service.

Example

Step 1: Create the JSON report request.

The JSON file should include the report_type of "data_usage_analytics_for_data_providers", as well as the columns (dimensions and metrics) and report_interval that you want to retrieve. You can also filter for specific dimensions, define granularity (month, day, hour), and specify the format in which the data should be returned (csv, excel, or html).

$ cat data_usage_analytics
        {"report":
                {
                        "format": "csv",
                        "report_interval": "yesterday",
                        "row_per": ["geo_country"],
                        "columns": ["imps","campaign_id","geo_country"],
                        "report_type": "data_usage_analytics_for_data_providers"
                }
         }

For a full explanation of fields that can be included in the JSON file, see the Report Service.

Step 2: POST the request to the Report Service.

POST the JSON request to get back a report ID.

$ curl -b cookies -c cookies -X POST -d @data_usage_analytics "https://api.adnxs.com/report?member_id=MEMBER_ID"
         {
            "response":{
               "status":"OK",
               "report_id":"c445bca183a3d338dc1c5b85a3d484f5"
            }
         }                 

Step 3: GET the report status from the Report Service.

Make a GET call with the report ID to retrieve the status of the report. Continue making this GET call until the execution_status is "ready". Then use the report-download service to save the report data to a file, as described in the next step.

$ curl -b cookies -c cookies 'https://api.adnxs.com/report?id=c445bca183a3d338dc1c5b85a3d484f5'
         {
            "response": {
                "status": "OK",
                "report": {
                    "name": null,
                    "created_on": "2014-11-19 22:33:31",
                    "json_request": "{\"report\":{\"format\":\"csv\",\"report_interval\":\"yesterday\",\"row_per\":[\"geo_country\"],\"columns\":[\"imps\",\"campaign_id\",\"geo_country\"],\"report_type\":\"buyer_data_usage_analytics\",\"filters\":[{\"buyer_member_id\":\"958\"}]}}",
                    "url": "report-download?id=c445bca183a3d338dc1c5b85a3d484f5"
                },
                "execution_status": "ready"
            }
         }           

Step 4: GET the report data from the Report Download Service.

To download the report data to a file, make another GET call with the report ID, but this time to the report-download service. You can find the service and report ID in the url field of the response to your previous GET call. When identifying the file that you want to save to, be sure to use the file extension of the file format that you specified in your initial POST.

Tip

If an error occurs during the download, the response header includes an HTTP error code and message. Use -i or -v in your call to expose the response header.

$ curl -b cookies -c cookies 'https://api.adnxs.com/report-download?id=c445bca183a3d338dc1c5b85a3d484f5' > /tmp/data_usage_analytics.csv
