API method Actions.getPageUrls bug

Support & Bugs
#1

When I use the below API, the stats provided in the results for nb_visits is actually the unique pageview stats when I look at the data within Piwik under Visitors/overview:

mypiwik.mydomain.com/index.php?module=API&method=Actions.getPageUrls&idSite=1&period=year&date=2013-10-01&format=xml&filter_limit=5000&flat=1&segment=pageUrl=@http%3A%2F%2Fsiteurlsegmented.com%2F&token_auth=mytoken

For example:

I run the API & the results are
<nb_visits>338</nb_visits>
<nb_hits>439</nb_hits>

But when I check in Piwik itself the data looks like this:

Date 2013
Visits 212
Actions 1581
Pageviews 439
Unique Pageviews 338

So it looks like the API is calculating the ‘unique pageviews’ instead of the ‘visits’.

I haven’t had a chance to check whether this is only happening when segment is used in the API, will only have time to do that tomorrow.

Unique pageviews are the number of visits that includes a given page. So litterally unique pageviews == nb_visits for the page.

Thanks Matt, so how do I get the ‘visits’ amount of 212 from the api?
