Dimensions
When you invoke the reporting endpoint for a given report, you need to specify the desired dimension. A dimension determines how data is aggregated. For example, you might choose the platform_breakdown dimension, to see data aggregated per-platform - or the day dimension, to see data aggregated per-day.
The following code snippet shows a call made to the Campaign Summary Report with the day dimension. (The dimension path param follows just after "/dimensions/".)
GET /backstage/api/1.0/taboola-demo-advertiser/reports/
campaign-summary/dimensions/day?start_date=2015-03-30&end_date=2015-03-30
Filters
For a given report and dimension, you will need to pass 1 or more appropriate filters. Filters are query string params that filter the data view returned (i.e. reduce the size of the result set).
For a given dimension, there are mandatory filters (that must be passed in every request) - as well as optional filters (that you can add at your own discretion).
In the following code snippet, 2 mandatory filters are passed in the query string - start_date and end_date:
GET /backstage/api/1.0/taboola-demo-advertiser/reports/
campaign-summary/dimensions/day?start_date=2015-03-30&end_date=2015-03-30
For each dimension supported by a given report, refer to the documentation for a list of mandatory and optional filters:
Columns
Dimension Columns
Dimension columns identify a given dimension. These columns are present for the relevant dimensions only.
Standard Columns
Standard columns contain performance metrics. These columns are present for the majority of dimensions.
For each report, refer to the documentation for a list of standard columns and dimension columns.
