Get Data Transferred by Platform & Interval

Indicates the amount of data transferred (bytes) for your CDN account. The data returned by this report can be filtered to only include CDN traffic that meets the following criteria:

The traffic that meets the above criteria is returned in chunks. The time interval for each chunk may also be defined.

This endpoint does not include data for transactions that did not complete during the requested time period, even if the transaction started before or during the time period covered by the report.

Request

A request to retrieve data transferred information by time interval is described below.

HTTP Method Request URI

GET

https://api.edgecast.com/v2/reporting/customers/AccountNumber/bytestransferred/interval?begindate=StartDateTime&enddate=EndDateTime&mediatypeid=Platform&intervalid=Interval&pops=POPs&regionid=RegionID

Define the following variables when submitting the above request.

VariableA variable represents a value that must be replaced. A variable consists of either a URL segment (e.g., "0001" in /0001/) or a query string value (e.g., "3" in mediaTypes=3). Description

AccountNumber

Required

Replace this variable with a customer account number. This account number may be found in the upper right-hand corner of the MCC.

StartDateTime

Required

Replace this variable with the start date/time for the report. Only activity that took place after the specified date/time will be included in the report.

Format: YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss

Note: Time (i.e., Thh:mm:ss) is optional. If time is not specified, then a default time (i.e., 00:00:00) will be used.

Learn more about date/time format.

EndDateTime

Required

Replace this variable with the end date/time for the report. Activity that took place after the specified date/time will not be included in the report.

Format: YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss

Note: Time (i.e., Thh:mm:ss) is optional. If time is not specified, then a default time (i.e., 00:00:00) will be used.

Learn more about date/time format.

Platform

Optional. Replace this variable with an integer that indicates the platform for which a report will be generated.

Valid values are:

  • 3: HTTP Large
  • 7: HTTP Large (SSL Traffic Only)
  • 8: HTTP Small
  • 9: HTTP Small (SSL Traffic Only)
  • 14: Application Delivery Network (ADN)
  • 15: Application Delivery Network (ADN) - (SSL Traffic Only)

If the mediatypeid query string parameter is not specified, then report data for all platforms will be returned.

Interval

Optional. Replace this variable with an integer that indicates the time interval that will be used to return report data.

Valid values are:

  • 1: 5 minute intervals (e.g., 00:00:00, 00:05:00, 00:10:00, etc.)
  • 2: Hourly intervals (e.g., 00:00:00, 01:00:00, 02:00:00, etc.)
  • 3: Daily intervals (e.g., 2024-03-01T00:00:00, 2024-03-02T00:00:00, 2024-03-03T00:00:00, etc.)

If the intervalid query string parameter is not specified, then report data will be returned in five minute intervals.

POPs

Optional. Limit report data to one or more POPs by replacing this variable with a comma-delimited list of the desired POPs.

Example:

oxr,dca,mia

Use the Get All Edge Nodes endpoint to retrieve a list of POPs and their codes.

Exclude the pops query string parameter (e.g., &pops=oxr,dca,mia) from the request to retrieve report data for all POPs.

The pops and regionid query string parameters are mutually exclusive. Specifying both query string parameters will result in an error.

RegionID

Optional. Limit report data to a specific region by replacing this variable with the ID of the desired region.

Use the Get Billing Regions endpoint to retrieve a list of regions and their IDs.

Exclude the regionid query string parameter&regionid=0 from the request to retrieve report data for all regions.

The pops and regionid query string parameters are mutually exclusive. Specifying both query string parameters will result in an error.

Specifying a time that falls in between the time interval specified for this endpoint (e.g., 00:04:59) will retrieve all data associated with that time interval (e.g., 00:00:00 – 00:04:59).

The specified time interval cannot exceed 45 days.
