The following shows how to generate the dns-analytics-plx-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/dns-analytics-plx-traffic-by-time/versions/2/report-data{?start,end}

Sample: /reporting-api/v1/reports/dns-analytics-plx-traffic-by-time/versions/2/report-data?start=2026-02-01T00%3A00%3A00Z&end=2026-03-01T00%3A00%3A00Z

Query parameters

Parameter	Type	Sample	Description
Required
`start`	String	`2026-02-01T00:00:00Z`	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	`2026-03-01T00:00:00Z`	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.

JSON request members

Member	Type	Description
`objectIds`	Array	Specifies the set of `accountId` 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": [
        "1111",
        "1122",
        "2222",
        "2233"
    ],
    "metrics": [
        "avgPreMitigationBps",
        "minPreMitigationBps",
        "peakPreMitigationBps",
        "preMitigationBps",
        "preMitigationPps"
    ]
}

GET request

GET /reporting-api/v1/reports/dns-analytics-plx-traffic-by-time/versions/2/report-data{?start,end,objectIds,allObjectIds,metrics}

Sample: /reporting-api/v1/reports/dns-analytics-plx-traffic-by-time/versions/2/report-data?start=2026-02-01T00%3A00%3A00Z&end=2026-03-01T00%3A00%3A00Z&objectIds=1111,1122,2222,2233&metrics=avgPreMitigationBps%2CminPreMitigationBps

Query parameters

Parameter	Type	Sample	Description
Required
`start`	String	`2026-02-01T00:00:00Z`	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	`2026-03-01T00:00:00Z`	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.
Optional
`allObjectIds`	Boolean	`true`	As an alternative to `objectIds`, enabling this generates a report that includes all IDs available for the `accountId` objectType. This parameter is ignored if the request also specifies a set of objectIds.
`objectIds`	String	`1111,1122,2222,2233`	As an alternative to `allObjectIds`, specifies the set of unique IDs for the `accountId` objectType you want to report on, formatted as a comma-delimited list.
`metrics`	String	`avgPreMitigationBps,minPreMitigationBps`	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.
