How to correctly call API ScheduledReports.addReport

Support & Bugs
1

Hi,

I am struggling to find enough info to be able to successfully add a scheduled report. The documentation for ScheduledReports.addReport has no examples.

In my test script, that I got working as the example PHP to fetch keywords , I adapted sing the spec for ScheduledReports.addReport and looking at data (API key etc removed) I created the script below, but it doesn’t do anything.

I drove my argument data from what IO could see in the database ‘report’ table but I am pretty much guessing how the two query strings for
reports and parameters might be formatted.

For reports I saw in the API documentation arrays as query string parameters, so used report[0] etc, but for parameters I am guessing.

So can anyone with some experience of this give me a pointer. Thanks

(script below has had API / domain / email removed of course to protect the innocent)


<?php
$token_auth = 'my real token';

//ScheduledReports.addReport (idSite, description, period, hour, reportType, reportFormat, reports, parameters, idSegment = '')

$url = "http://my analytics domain/";
$url .= "?module=API&method=ScheduledReports.addReport";
$url .= "&idSite=2&period=day&hour=0";
$url .= "&reportType=email";
$url .= "&reportFormat=html";
$url .= "&reports[0]=VisitsSummary_get";
$url .= "&reports[1]=Actions_getEntryPageUrls";
$url .= "&parameters[additionalEmails]=myemail@mysite.com";
$url .= "&parameters[emailMe]=true";
$url .= "&parameters[displayFormat]=3";
$url .= "&token_auth=$token_auth";

$fetched = file_get_contents($url);

print_r ($fetched);
?>

Here is an example request:

description=description here
format=json
idReport=0
idSegment=
method=ScheduledReports.addReport
module=API
parameters[displayFormat]=1
parameters[emailMe]=true
parameters[evolutionGraph]=false
reportFormat=html
reportType=email
reports[]=Actions_getEntryPageUrls
reports[]=UserCountry_getCountry
token_auth=XXXXXXXXXXX

Many thanks, with abit of tweaking I managed to get the basics going

BUT I still have one issue

that is how to specifiy the additionalEmails parameter in a query string.

The parameter is causing a ‘bail out’ as it expects an array when sent as (array expected, string provided)

$url .= “&parameters[additionalEmails]=hello%40text.com”;

I tried

$url .= “&parameters[additionalEmails]=[hello%40text.com]”;

with the same result

So anyone know the correct way of specifying an array within an array in a query string?

I have sorted it


$url .= "&parameters[additionalEmails][]=hello%40text.com";
