webtrends Rest API - Example?

Question

I have to build a custom dashboard that presents some data from a Webtrends account.

Can i get this information via api ? :

1) View and visitors for all pages and View/visitors for a single page (in a period range)

2) Stored Pages ( a list of all urls saved for my site in webtrends .. so i can choose for which one get more information in point 1) )

3) Overall like point 1) but from the start of the web site until now.

Thank you!

Answer 1

First of all, maybe you have a look at the API documentation. The URL is http://product.webtrends.com/dxapi/

1. yes. You can filter your request for a special page or you can get all pages. You just need to request the standard report "pages"

2. The pages report has a list of your pages, just limited by the WebTrends Table Limit (10000 unique analysed pages, 2000 shown pages).

3. You can define a start date + end date or you request a whole year. It is not possible to request 2007-01-01 to 2011-01-01 due to the fact, that webtrends never stores more than one year in a fasttrends database. If you would request this custom data rate within the WebTrends UI, it would also not work. I think you would have to request each year and summarize it within your dashboard. Remember, webtrends stores daily metrics just for the last 180 days by default.
