The following shows how to generate the authoritative-dns-traffic-by-time report using either the Reporting API's Generate a report POST operation or the Get a cacheable report GET operation. Details about each report's supported products, metrics, filters, and available data intervals are also available dynamically by running the API's Get a report type operation, also shown below. See also other available reports.

POST request

POST /reporting-api/v1/reports/authoritative-dns-traffic-by-time/versions/3/report-data{?start,end,interval}

Sample: /reporting-api/v1/reports/authoritative-dns-traffic-by-time/versions/3/report-data?start=2020-06-26T13%3A40%3A00Z&end=2020-06-26T14%3A00%3A00Z&interval=FIVE_MINUTES

Query parameters

Parameter	Type	Sample	Description
Required
`start`	String	`2020-06-26T13:40:00Z`	Specifies the start of the reported period as an ISO-8601 timestamp with optional time zone. The report includes data that matches the `start` value's timestamp.
`end`	String	`2020-06-26T14:00:00Z`	Specifies the end of the reported period as an ISO-8601 timestamp with optional time zone. The report excludes any data that matches the `end` value's timestamp.
`interval`	Enumeration	`FIVE_MINUTES`	The duration of each data record. Available values: `MONTH`, `WEEK`, `DAY`, `HOUR`, `FIVE_MINUTES`.

JSON request members

Member	Type	Description
`objectIds`	Array	Specifies the set of `edns` values you want to report on.
`objectIds`	Enumeration	As an alternative to an array of ID values, specify `all` as a string for unfiltered data. Either way, `objectIds` is required.
`metrics`	Array	The set of desired metrics. If omitted, the report includes all available metrics.

Request body:

{
    "objectIds": [
        "55232",
        "23433",
        "32433"
    ],
    "metrics": [
        "peak_hits",
        "peak_nxhits",
        "sum_hits",
        "sum_nxdomain",
        "sum_requests",
        "total_hits",
        "total_nxhits"
    ]
}

GET request

GET /reporting-api/v1/reports/authoritative-dns-traffic-by-time/versions/3/report-data{?start,end,interval,objectIds,allObjectIds,metrics}

Sample: /reporting-api/v1/reports/authoritative-dns-traffic-by-time/versions/3/report-data?start=2020-06-26T13%3A40%3A00Z&end=2020-06-26T14%3A00%3A00Z&interval=FIVE_MINUTES&objectIds=55232,23433,32433&metrics=peak_hits%2Cpeak_nxhits

Query parameters

Parameter	Type	Sample	Description
Required
`start`	String	`2022-06-23T13:55:00Z`	Specifies the start of the reported period as an ISO-8601 timestamp with optional time zone. The report includes data that matches the `start` value’s timestamp.
`end`	String	`2022-06-23T14:15:00Z`	Specifies the end of the reported period as an ISO-8601 timestamp with optional time zone. The report excludes any data that matches the `end` value’s timestamp.
`interval`	Enumeration	`FIVE_MINUTES`	The duration of each data record. Available values: `MONTH`, `WEEK`, `DAY`, `HOUR`, `FIVE_MINUTES`.
Optional
`allObjectIds`	Boolean	`true`	As an alternative to `objectIds`, enabling this generates a report that includes all IDs available for the `edns` objectType. This parameter is ignored if the request also specifies a set of objectIds.
`objectIds`	String	`55232,23433,32433`	As an alternative to `allObjectIds`, specifies the set of unique IDs for the `edns` objectType you want to report on, formatted as a comma-delimited list.
`metrics`	String	`peak_hits,peak_nxhits`	Specifies a comma-separated list of metrics to include in the report, otherwise all metrics if omitted. The set of available metrics depends on the type of report. URL-encode the entire value in the GET request.
