Engagement

Operations related to engagement analytics for a VOD stream.

Fetch engagement analytics data for a VOD stream

(Available from version 1.11) This operation returns the engagement data for a specific VOD stream. Engagement data provides insight into how many plays your stream received and for how long.

If you don't send to and from query parameters, the last 7 days worth of data is returned. See the trend field in the response for information about sample intervals.

If the time range between from and to query parameters is:

Less than 60 minutes, the cache time between responses is 10 seconds.
More than 60 minutes, the cache time between responses is 60 seconds.

string

The unique alphanumeric string that identifies the VOD stream.

query Parameters

from	string <date-time> Use this parameter, along with to, to return historic viewer data. The start of the range of time you want to view. Specify YYYY-DD-MMT HH:MM:SSZ where HH is a 24-hour clock in UTC. The range queried doesn't include minutes and seconds. If you include minutes and seconds, Wowza Video rounds up to the nearest hour when it is more than 30 minutes. If it is less than 30 minutes, Wowza Video rounds it down to the nearest hour. The maximum difference between from and to is 30 days. If you set the from query parameter without setting the to query parameter, the data returned will reflect 30 days starting at the from date, or data up to to the current day, whichever is shorter. Example: 2023-01-14T10:31:54.486Z
to	string <date-time> Use this parameter, along with from, to return historic viewer data. The end of the range of time you want to view. Specify YYYY-DD-MMT HH:MM:SSZ where HH is a 24-hour clock in UTC. The range queried doesn't include minutes and seconds. If you include minutes and seconds, Wowza Video rounds up to the nearest hour when it is more than 30 minutes. If it is less than 30 minutes, Wowza Video rounds it down to the nearest hour. The maximum difference between from and to is 30 days. If you set the to query parameter without setting the from query parameter, the data returned will be from the past 30 days. Example: 2023-02-14T10:31:54.486Z
