Using REST API with segment a range of IPs or a provider string

Support & Bugs
1

I’m trying to get the screen resolution of my visitors coming from my local network

I’ve tried the API call using as segment part of the IP, like this

https://MY_HOSTNAME/index.php?format=XML&period=range&date=2011-11-01,2011-12-06&idSite=1&module=API&method=UserSettings.getResolution&segment=visitIp==147.28..&token_auth=<my_token>

This returns an empty result, so it does not recognize the * in the IP

Then I tried as segment my provider string, like this (“Tuc” is the provider as displayed in the web interface)

https://MY_HOSTNAME/index.php?format=XML&period=range&date=2011-11-01,2011-12-06&idSite=1&module=API&method=UserSettings.getResolution&segment=provider==Tuc&token_auth=<my_token>

This also returns an empty result, so it does not recognize the provider string. I’ve also tried other provider strings, also with empty results.

So the question is: how can I get get a segment with a range of IP addresses or use the provider string as segment?

Visit segmenting all visit within an IP range using the segmentation API feature try:


&segment=visitIp>=147.28.0.0;visitIp<=147.28.255.255;

Happy New Year! If you are still using Piwik and interested in the awesome new feature of “Creating a Custom Segment in Piwik and apply to reports in Real time!” we need YOUR help, with a little or big donation at: http://crowdfunding.piwik.org/custom-segments-editor/

This will allow to dynamically add or edit, a new set of rules for example “Show all visitors from USA and using Firefox and using Google”. This will be done via a simple to use interface. See screenshots and more info here: http://crowdfunding.piwik.org/custom-segments-editor/

We are crowd funding the future of Piwik and this feature in particular. With your help we can do it.

Thanks
