getReport methods do not accept requests without a dimension

[loldenburg]

It seems to not be possible to get simple summary metrics via the wrapper easily.
This report

where the "dimension" is the "All Visits" segment gets me this JSON:

{
            "rsid": "REPORTSUITE",
            "globalFilters": [
                {
                    "type": "dateRange",
                    "dateRange": "2023-03-09T00:00:00.000/2023-03-16T00:00:00.000",
                    "dateRangeId": "last7Days"
                }
            ],
            "metricContainer": {
                "metrics": [
                    {
                        "columnId": "metrics/event8:::0",
                        "id": "metrics/event8",
                        "filters": [
                            "STATIC_ROW_COMPONENT_1"
                        ]
                    }
                ],
                "metricFilters": [
                    {
                        "id": "STATIC_ROW_COMPONENT_1",
                        "type": "segment",
                        "segmentId": "All_Visits"
                    }
                ]
            },
            "settings": {
                "countRepeatInstances": True,
                "includeAnnotations": False
            },
            "statistics": {
                "functions": [
                    "col-max",
                    "col-min"
                ]
            },
            "capacityMetadata": {
                "associations": [
                    {
                        "name": "applicationName",
                        "value": "Analysis Workspace UI"
                    }
                ]
            }
        }

But the function throws an error because the _dataDescriptor always expects a "dimension".
Same if the "dimension" is a date range, e.g.:

I can work around this, but what is the most efficient way to get simply the total number of [[metric X]] for a certain date range (without any dimensions)?

Would love this to be fixed if possible. No issue here for getReport2 but that method has a bug for metrics/pageviews.

Hello @loldenburg
Sorry for the delay on this.
You should use the getReport2 method, I am trying to adjust the getReport method for this but it is not well built so pretty difficult.
getReport2 supports this use-case.

let me know if it works now.
(Also, I would encourage you to start using getReport2 more often.

I just did a release that will also apply the resolveColumn parameter for staticRow report for getReport2. So you have a better dataframe ouput.
version 0.3.3.post2 (or 0.3.3-2)

Actually my latest experience was that getreport2 did not support reports without a dimension, but getreport did. So i had to switch back. I’m out of office for some weeks now but will check what you did then. Thanks a lot! Julien ***@***.***> schrieb am Mi. 26. Apr. 2023 um 10:48:
