Real time API and reporting granularity

When you run a real-time API you might need to extract the real-time data for the past X minutes only displayed by blocks of X minutes.

Realtime reports support Relative dates

To do so you need to use the following:

• "dateGranularity":"minute:1"
  • In this example we say that we want to report the data by 1 minute interval.
• "dateFrom": "-5 minute"
  • In this example we say that we want the reporting period to start 5 minutes ago
• "dateTo": "now"
  • In this example we say we want the reporting period to end right now.

Lets say that I set up a real-time report in Adobe Analytics using elements page and site section and I want to report for the past 5 minutes by interval of 1 minutes all data from site section Iphone for classification of page testClassification then it will look as follow

{

	"reportDescription": {
		"reportSuiteID": "[MY REPORT SUITE ID]",
		"dateGranularity": "minute:5",
		"dateFrom": "-5 minute",
		"dateTo": "now",
		"metrics": [{
			"id": "pageviews"
		}],
		"elements": [{
			"id": "sitesection",
			"search": {
				"type": "AND",
				"keywords": [
					"iphone"
				]
			}

		},{
		
				"id": "page",
				"classification": "testClassification",
				"search": {
					"type": "NOT",
					"keywords": [
						"unspecified"
					]
				}
			}
		],
		"source": "realtime"
	}
}
