Mostview Feed with custom parameters

General questions

Hi,

To my site (big site with Varnish cache), I need get the most view contents of the day. I use piwik to track, thus:


<script type="text/javascript">
... [others codes here] ...
_paq.push(["setCookieDomain", "*.dev.mysite.com"]);
_paq.push(["setCustomVariable", 1, "title", 'Title of my content', "page"]);
_paq.push(["setCustomVariable", 2, "entry_id", 'ID of my content', "page"]);
_paq.push(['trackPageView']);
_paq.push(['enableLinkTracking']);
... [others codes here] ...
</script>

And to capture the results, I use REST (Actions.getPageUrl):

http://piwik.mysite.com/?module=API&method=Actions.getPageUrls&idSite=1&period=day&date=today&format=json&token_auth=anonymous&flat=1&segment=pageUrl=@/news/&filter_sort_column=nb_hits&showColumns=nb_hits

And the result is almost perfect:


[
    {
        "label": "news/blahblah/article-url-here",
        "nb_hits": 27,
        "url": "http://mysite.com/news/blahblah/article-url-here"
    },
    {
        "label": "news/blahblah/article-url-here",
        "nb_hits": 17,
        "url": "http://mysite.com/news/blahblah/article-url-here"
    },
    {
        "label": "news/blahblah/article-url-here",
        "nb_hits": 10,
        "url": "http://mysite.com/news/blahblah/article-url-here"
    }
]

The problem is: I need “title” and “entry_id” (custom variables) in this report.

Is possible?

Thank you

Unfortunately not possible yet (until we implement Custom Reports / Pivot table with selectable dimension · Issue #4776 · matomo-org/matomo · GitHub )

Now what you can do is create custom segment for each page URL, and then request the Custom Variable report for each segment. This will work as you expect!

Thank you very much, Matt.
