Does Analytics API support API Pagination ?

CommunityUser — Tue, 03 Jul 2018 15:54:06 GMT

Hi,

We are trying to consume AppD Analytics API and have few questions regarding consuming the API

Does Analytics API supports API pagination ? If yes, then how can we consume it in our code ?
Is there any limit on number of records we can retrieve via AnalyticsAPI ? For example, can we retrieve 1million records per day ?
Also, any SLAs or limit on number records we can retrieve via AnalyticsAPI if we use ADQL aggregation queries ?

Let me know if you need any further details.

Regards,

Aditya

Hi Aditya,

Please find answers to your queries below pointwise:

(1) Does Analytics API supports API pagination ? If yes, then how can we consume it in our code ?

Currently our Analytics Events API does not support REST API Pagination as defined in this StackOverflow.com post. That said, we do offer query parameters which allow one to define the start timestamp and end timestamp for dataset as well as limit the number of results returned. Please have a look at the link from our documentation found here.

(2) Is there any limit on number of records we can retrieve via AnalyticsAPI ? For example, can we retrieve 1million records per day ?

There have been various enhancements to our Analytics API between versions of 4.3.early to 4.4.latest. As stated in our documentation here,

"The Analytics Query API can return a maximum of 10,000 results for non-aggregation queries. New in 4.3.5: For aggregation queries, the maximum is 10,000 results. For versions prior to 4.3.5, the maximum results returned for aggregation queries is 1000."

(3) Also, any SLAs or limit on number records we can retrieve via AnalyticsAPI if we use ADQL aggregation queries?

Yes, The Analytics Search UI caps the number of search results at 1000 records. Refer to the related documentation here,

Hope this helps.

Thank You,

Chitra
