Filter options

  • Each filter argument specifies the attribute to filter on followed by a comma-separated list of values. For instance, "Filter=ProductId:eq:Product1,Product2" returns statistics for Product1 and Product2.
  • If a filter value contains a comma or a colon, that character needs to be escaped with a backslash (, or :). If a filter value contains an ampersand (&), the ampersand must be encoded in the filter value by replacing & with %26.

The following table lists the attributes available for filtering.

Name Description
ContentLocale Locale of the content on which to calculate the statistics. A wildcard character "*" can be used to define the value, e.g., "en*" returns all content in English (en_US, en_CA, en_GB, etc.). The two valid operators for this filter are equals (eq) and not equals (neq).
ProductId
The identifier for the products that will be returned in the results. This filter is required. A limit of 100 ProductIds exists when used in the Filter.
