# Site automation statistics over time

`GET /v1/sites/{site_id}/automations/stats/timeline`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.getsitecontrol.com`
- URL: `https://api.getsitecontrol.com/v1/sites/{site_id}/automations/stats/timeline`
- Auth: HTTP bearer

The numbers of `get_automations_stats`, split into buckets. Buckets are
consecutive days, calendar weeks (Monday to Sunday) or calendar months; the
first and the last are cut to the period. Every bucket is present, an empty
one with zeros.

E-mails are those sent by the steps of automations, by follow-ups of widgets
and as double opt-in confirmations; without filters deleted automations count
too. `automation_ids`, `is_active`, `trigger_type`, `widget_id`, `search`,
`created_since` and `folder_id` narrow the count to the live automations
that match every one given, and then the e-mails are those sent by their
steps; `matched` says how many, and `matched: 0` means no automation
matched.

`rates` next to each `total` gives the delivery, open, click, click-to-open,
unsubscribe, complaint and bounce rates of the e-mails, rounded to 4 places;
a rate is null when its denominator is 0, as it is undefined, not zero.

## Path parameters

- `site_id` integer, required

## Query parameters

- `interval` 'day' | 'week' | 'month': day, calendar week (Monday to Sunday) or calendar month.
- `from` string, date, required: First day of the period, UTC, included
- `to` string, date: Last day of the period, UTC, included; today when omitted
- `automation_ids` integer[]: Only these automation ids from `list_automations`, up to 100; repeat for several
- `is_active` boolean: true: only automations that are on; false: off
- `trigger_type` AutomationTriggerType[]: Only automations started by any of these trigger types; repeat for several
- `widget_id` integer: Only automations started by a form submit of this widget; widget id from `list_widgets`
- `search` string: Words of the name in order; case, spacing and punctuation are ignored. Or the exact id
- `created_since` string, date-time: Only automations created at or after this moment; without an offset, taken as UTC; a plain date means its start
- `folder_id` integer: Only the items of this folder, an id from `list_folders`; 0 is General

## Response `200`

Successful Response

- AutomationStatsTimeline
  - `period` StatsPeriod, required
    - `date_from` string, date, required: First day, UTC, included
    - `date_to` string, date, required: Last day, UTC, included
  - `matched` integer, nullable: How many live automations the filters or ids matched; null without them. 0 means nothing matched, not that nothing happened: check the filters or ids
  - `interval` 'day' | 'week' | 'month', required: day, calendar week (Monday to Sunday) or calendar month.
  - `items` AutomationStatsBucket[], required: Every bucket of the period in order, empty ones with zeros
    - `date_from` string, date, required
    - `date_to` string, date, required
    - `total` EmailMetrics, required: E-mail counts; every key is always present. `open`, `click` and the rest count each e-mail once. `send` includes e-mails rejected on sending, which are also counted in `bounce`. `complaint` is spam complaints reported by mail providers. For a period, each number counts the events dated in it, so the numbers are independent: a bounce may fall in a later period than its sending. `deliver` is `send` minus `bounce`, never below zero.
      - `send` integer, required
      - `deliver` integer, required
      - `bounce` integer, required
      - `open` integer, required
      - `click` integer, required
      - `unsubscribe` integer, required
      - `complaint` integer, required
    - `rates` EmailRates, required: Rates from `total`, each a fraction rounded to 4 places: 0.0125 is 1.25%. For a period, each counter counts the events dated in it, so an open or a bounce of an e-mail sent before the period counts while its sending does not, and a rate can exceed 1.
      - `deliver` number, nullable: Delivery rate: `deliver` / `send`; null when `send` is 0: the rate is undefined, not zero
      - `open` number, nullable: Open rate: `open` / `deliver`; null when `deliver` is 0: the rate is undefined, not zero
      - `click` number, nullable: Click rate: `click` / `deliver`; null when `deliver` is 0: the rate is undefined, not zero
      - `click_to_open` number, nullable: Click-to-open rate: `click` / `open`; null when `open` is 0: the rate is undefined, not zero. A click is counted without an open when the recipient's mail app does not load images, so it can exceed 1
      - `unsubscribe` number, nullable: Unsubscribe rate: `unsubscribe` / `deliver`; null when `deliver` is 0: the rate is undefined, not zero
      - `complaint` number, nullable: Spam complaint rate: `complaint` / `deliver`; null when `deliver` is 0: the rate is undefined, not zero
      - `bounce` number, nullable: Bounce rate: `bounce` / `send`; null when `send` is 0: the rate is undefined, not zero
    - `runs` AutomationRunMetrics, required: Runs started in the period, each counted once by its current status.
      - `queued` integer, required: Waiting to start; a bulk start counts only once it is split into runs
      - `ongoing` integer, required: Running, waiting in a delay step or on hold
      - `done` integer, required: Finished
      - `ineligible` integer, required: Finished by being skipped
      - `failed` integer, required: Finished with an error, or failed before the start. A failure followed by a new run of the contact through the API is not counted

- `403`: Access denied
- `404`: Not found
- `422`: Validation failed
- `429`: Rate limited
- `503`: `temporarily_unavailable`: the statistics took longer than 25 seconds or rate limits cannot be enforced; narrow the period or retry later. The heavy request is spent all the same
