General Measurements

Introduction

General measurements capture statistics about a user that do not fit into any other category. General measurements are grouped in reverse chronological order into a general measurement feed.

Feed

Because they can grow very large, feeds are divided into pages (by default, each page contains 25 entries). Each page contains links to the previous and next pages as well as the total number of entries across all pages.

Two representations of the feed exist:

  • The old version, which lists each measurement individually; and,
  • The new version, which groups measurements with similar timestamps into a single entry.

Both versions will be maintained for the foreseeable future (i.e., changes made by applications using the old version will be seen by applications using the new version, and vice-versa). New applications are encouraged to use the new version; old applications should migrate when possible. To migrate an existing application, change the value of the Accept header to reflect the new content type when requesting a page of the feed (the URI for the page is the same across versions).

This page describes the new representation. Documentation for the old version can be found here.

Supported Operations

The following operations are supported on the URI of any page of a feed:

  • GET: Retrieves a page of the feed
  • HEAD: Retrieves the HTTP headers for a page of the feed
  • POST: Posts a new entry

For GET requests, the following optional HTTP headers are supported:

  • If-Modified-Since: Indicates that the server should return a 304 Not Modified response instead of the feed if it has not been modified since the given time

For GET requests, the following URI query parameters are supported:

  • noEarlierThan: Specifies the earliest time for which to return a general measurement
  • noLaterThan: Specifies the latest time for which to return a general measurement
  • modifiedNoEarlierThan: Specifies the earliest modification time for which to return a general measurement
  • modifiedNoLaterThan: Specifies the latest modification time for which to return a general measurement

The following operations are supported on the URI of any general measurement:

  • GET: Retrieves the general measurement
  • HEAD: Retrieves the HTTP headers for the general measurement
  • PUT: Updates the general measurement
  • DELETE: Removes the general measurement

Note that, when updating a general measurement via a PUT request, any measured quantity omitted from the request is deleted from the general measurement.

For GET requests, the following optional HTTP headers are supported:

  • If-Modified-Since: Indicates that the server should return a 304 Not Modified response instead of the general measurement if it has not been modified since the given time
