This Reporting API endpoint was decommissioned on October 31, 2023, as part of the Delivery Reports Consolidation initiative. Learn more in the Delivery Reports Consolidation guide.

The following shows how to generate the uv-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.
