Example 1

Say you would like to view obtain information about denials for feature "3 over some period of time" over a given timeframe. To generate such this data set, enter a command similar to the following:.

Code Block
languagejs
firstline1
linenumberstrue
curl --data "sd=2015-01-01" --data "ed=2015-01-02" -H "X-Auth-token: token" "http://yourdomain/api/v1/report/feature/3/denials/json"

Example 2

Let's assume you want to see obtain information about all denials for feature "3" ordered by username over a specific period of timetimeframe. To do thisgenerate such data set, enter a command similar to this one:the following.

Code Block
languagejs
firstline1
linenumberstrue
curl --data "orderBy=un" --data "orderDirection=ASC" --data "sd=2015-01-01" --data "ed=2015-01-02" -H "X-Auth-token: token" "http://yourdomain/api/v1/report/feature/3/denials/json"

...

Say you're interested in viewing the first 100 denials for feature "3" over a specific period of time. To do thisgiven timeframe. To generate such data set, enter a command that is similar to the following:.

Code Block
languagejs

curl --data "limit=100" --data "offset=0" --data "sd=2015-01-01" --data "ed=2015-01-02" -H "X-Auth-token: token" "http://yourdomain/api/v1/report/feature/3/denials/json"

Keep Please keep in mind that you can also put parameters directly into the URL, e.g. to generate data for the above example, the command would look like this:

Obtaining information about grouped checkout denials

You can easily fetch metrics about list denials for username and hostname by calling this sending the following HTTP GET request:.

Code Block
languagejs
firstline1
linenumberstrue
GET /api/v1/report/feature/${featureId}/denials/grouped/${returnType}?sd=${startDate}&ed=${endDate}&grat=${granularity}&(additional parameters, as needed) 

...

ParameterRequiredTypeDescription
${featureId}Yesinteger

Specifies ID of the feature for which you want to view grouped checkout denials.

${returnType}YesstringSpecifies format in which the data should be returned. The format can be one of the following: JSONjson, CSVcsv, XLS xls or PDFpdf.
sdYesstring

Specifies starting date from which you want to generate the report. The date format is in YYYY-MM-DD format; for example, 2017-05-20.

ed

Yes

stringSpecifies end date from which you want to generate the report. The date format is in YYYY-MM-DD format; for example, 2017-05-20. The date is inclusive, meaning that all data from a particular day will be included in the report.

languagejs
firstline1
linenumberstrue

where number "1" indicates that a specific field is visible.
