Piwik for tracking eclipse usage

Support & Bugs
1

Hello

I am planning to use piwik for gathering of analytics/usage data of eclipse plugins, maven plugins and other java based software. To achieve this I need to have java client (instead of javascript) that can make http requests to the piwik server.

So, I would like to understand piwik api, so that I can make appropriate http call from the java client. Can you some one send a link or information about what is the http method and the parameters needed.

Thanks
Nambi

Sure, We can do that.

Right now, I am trying to understand the following API

http://sourceforge.net/apps/piwik/emarket/piwik.php?url=http%3A%2F%2Fd-sjc-nsankaran%2F&action_name=&idsite=2&res=1280x784&h=5&m=46&s=28&java=1&title=&urlref=

Can you provide me insight into what each parameter means and what are the valid values?

This JS describes most of the parameters, however it would be nice to have proper documentation

     var _pk_src = _pk_pkurl
    +'?url='+_pk_escape(document.location.href)
    +'&action_name='+_pk_escape(_pk_action_name)
    +'&idsite='+_pk_site
    +'&res='+screen.width+'x'+screen.height
    +'&h='+_pk_da.getHours()+'&m='+_pk_da.getMinutes()+'&s='+_pk_da.getSeconds()
    +'&fla='+_pk_fla+'&dir='+_pk_dir+'&qt='+_pk_qt+'&realp='+_pk_rea+'&pdf='+_pk_pdf
    +'&wma='+_pk_wma+'&java='+_pk_jav+'&cookie='+_pk_cookie
    +'&title='+_pk_title
    +'&urlref='+_pk_escape(_pk_rtu)
    +_pk_custom_vars_str;

the API is not exactly stable yet; it could be exposed in a plugin as described in: http://dev.piwik.org/trac/ticket/134
currently the code is the best documentation.
