Welcome to the Taboola Backstage API documentation. You'll find comprehensive guides and examples to help you get started with Taboola Backstage API quickly.
We were going through the API documents and it looks like the most granular data we can request is the "by_hour_of_day" dimension from the campaign summary dimensions endpoint. Two questions related to this: - Is this the most granular data we can request? We would love to be able to access our costs and clicks at a finer time grain. - Is this the only way to get data at a finer grain than "by-day" for a "by-campaign-by-site" analysis? What we mean is that if we want to do a site-by-site analysis for a campaign running on 500 sites, we would have to ping the "by_hour_by_day" endpoint 500 times for a single campaign. Is there another way to get hourly (or even more granular) data at the "by-campaign-by-site" level?

We are requesting reporting data using the by_hour_of_day dimension. Each start of the hour. And we found out that the values for that same hour are changing from while to while. Can you please tell us, when is the best time to request actual reporting data for the hour that passed. Thanks in advance

How can we calculate thru the api the cost per click by publisher and time of the day? we need an estimate for live traffic and the real cost for updated data Where can I find more information on how this works

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
