The following shows how to generate the midgresshits-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.

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.

JSON request members

Member	Type	Description
`objectIds`	Array	Specifies the set of `cpcode` 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.

GET request

GET /reporting-api/v1/reports/midgresshits-by-time/versions/1/report-data{?start,end,interval,objectIds,allObjectIds,metrics,filters}

Sample: /reporting-api/v1/reports/midgresshits-by-time/versions/1/report-data?start=2019-10-08T13%3A40%3A00Z&end=2019-10-08T14%3A00%3A00Z&interval=FIVE_MINUTES&objectIds=55232,23433,32433&metrics=midgressHitsPerSecond%2CmidgressHitsPerSecondMax&filters=delivery_type%3Dsecure%2Cdelivery_type%3Dnon-secure%2Cip_version%3Dipv4%2Cip_version%3Dipv6

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 `cpcode` 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 `cpcode` objectType you want to report on, formatted as a comma-delimited list.
`metrics`	String	`midgressHitsPerSecond,midgressHitsPerSecondMax`	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.
`filters`	String	`delivery_type=secure,delivery_type=non-secure,ip_version=ipv4,ip_version=ipv6`	Specifies criteria to filter the report's data. The set of available filters depends on the type of report. Separate each filter name and value with an equals (`=`) character, and separate various name/value pairs with commas (`,`). To specify more than one filter value, repeat the filter name. See the accompanying example for guidance. URL-encode the entire value in the GET request.
