Hey team, I am looking for a way to get hourly data (specifically spend, clicks) in an hourly resolution with the ability to get the data by campaign. So either: a. By campaign breakdown with an hourly resolution. b. Hourly data with the ability to filter by campaign. Are any of these possible ? Thanks ! p.s. Option b. is possible via your dashboard so I'm sure the data is there but not sure how to access it programmatically.

It is stated in the documentation that platform and country filters are available for by_hour_of_day dymention https://developers.taboola.com/backstage-api/reference#campaign-summary-dimensions, but they do not work. API returns success response, but the numbers do not change irrespective of the value of the filter Please check the following requests for ad account spine-deforg-sc 1. Request without any filters. curl --location --request GET 'https://backstage.taboola.com/backstage/api/1.0/spine-deforg-sc/reports/campaign-summary/dimensions/by_hour_of_day?start_date=2020-03-09&end_date=2020-03-10' \ --header 'Authorization: {token}' 2. Request with filter platform=DESK. curl --location --request GET 'https://backstage.taboola.com/backstage/api/1.0/spine-deforg-sc/reports/campaign-summary/dimensions/by_hour_of_day?start_date=2020-03-09&end_date=2020-03-10&platform=DESK' \ --header 'Authorization: {token}' 3. Request with filter country=CA. curl --location --request GET 'https://backstage.taboola.com/backstage/api/1.0/spine-deforg-sc/reports/campaign-summary/dimensions/by_hour_of_day?start_date=2020-03-09&end_date=2020-03-10&country=CA' \ --header 'Authorization: {token}' The sum of spend for all of them is the same

We need to have an ability to get hourly statistic for specific campaigns. There is such an ability on the UI (https://i.imgur.com/LSP2LyO.png), but we did`t find a way to get this statistic via the API (https://i.imgur.com/R3rEqZS.png). Please let us know whether we can retrieve hourly statistic for a specific campaign via the API?

I am trying to get hourly data, and the API only responds with hour 0. Is there a special parameter I need to pass in order to get the entire day of hourly? Here is an example of my API call: https://backstage.taboola.com/backstage/api/1.0/spigot-network/reports/campaign-summary/dimensions/by_hour_of_day?start_date=2020-02-20&end_date=2020-02-20&include_multi_conversions=true
