metricsArrayThe set of desired metrics. If omitted, the report includes all available metrics.

Request body:

{
    "objectIds": [
        "55232",
        "23433",
        "32433"

        "sum_nxdomain",
        "zone_name"
    ]
}

GET request

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

Sample: /reporting-api/v1/reports/authoritative-dns-traffic-by-zone/versions/3/report-data?start​=2020-05-01T00%3A00%3A00Z​&end​=2020-06-01T00%3A00%3A00Z​&objectIds​=55232,​23433,​32433​&metrics​=percent_nx_domain_responses%2Csum_hits

Query parameters

ParameterTypeSampleDescription
