Events
The API operations about events, each with its input, its output and an example.
The operations about events. Each one is a POST with a JSON object as its body: Making a request has the rules they share.
Custom event counts #
POST /api/v1/events.counts · Read
The custom events of one site in a period, by name: how often each fired, its share of all custom events, the visitors who fired it and whether a conversion goal counts it. Get the siteId from sites.list first. A custom event is one the website sends itself (a signup, a click); page views are not in this list. It pages by offset: limit rows (8 unless set, 100 at most) starting at offset, and totalRows is the number of names there are; offset plus limit may not be more than 1000 (400 otherwise). Rows are sorted by count, most first, unless sort and dir say otherwise; search keeps the names that contain the text. totalEvents and totalTypes cover the whole period whatever the search. Every filter applies. The comparison is not used. For the values of event properties call events.properties, and for the trend over time events.insights.

Custom event trends #
POST /api/v1/events.insights · Read
Custom events of one site over time and which are growing: totals for the period and the period before, a chart of the top events per bucket, and a table of every event with its count, its count before and the change. Get the siteId from sites.list first. It always compares with the period just before, whatever compare, cfrom and cto say; the range all has no period before, so there previous and change are null. An event that fired before and not in this period is listed with count 0 and change -1. The table pages by offset: limit rows (50 unless set, 100 at most) starting at offset, and totalRows is the number of rows there are. It is sorted by growth (count minus the count before), largest first, unless sort and dir say otherwise. The chart has the top event names (5 unless top says otherwise) and, when there are more names than that, one last line named Other that sums the rest. Every filter applies.

Activity log #
POST /api/v1/events.log · Read
The single hits of one site in a period, newest first: page views, custom events and pages that were not found, each with its time, path, referring site and country. Get the siteId from sites.list first. feed chooses what is listed: all (everything), views (page views), events (custom events) or properties (custom events that were sent with properties). It pages by cursor: the answer holds limit rows (50 unless set, 100 at most) and nextCursor; send that as cursor for the next, older page, until it is null. A cursor this list did not issue answers 400 invalid_cursor. There is no total. The feeds all and views ignore the event and prop filters; every other filter applies. The comparison is not used. No row names a visitor: there is no visitor-level data. For totals call events.counts or overview.kpis, not this. Answers 402 workspace_locked while the workspace's dashboards are locked.

Custom event names #
POST /api/v1/events.names · Read
The names of the custom events one site recorded in a period, each with how often it fired, most frequent first. The whole list comes at once, 500 names at most; there is no paging. Get the siteId from sites.list first. Use it to learn which names the event filter, a funnel step of type event or an event goal can take. The event and prop filters are ignored here, so the list is not narrowed by the name it is meant to help choose; every other filter applies. The comparison is not used.
