Statistics Synchronization API - Straas/Straas-web-document GitHub Wiki

The Statistics Sync REST APIs provide data synchronization of media statistics from StraaS to your site.

Table of Contents

Definitions

Term Description
hit_count Number of times the media (Live or VOD) hit
hit_uu Number of distinct users who ever loaded the media (Live or VOD) hit
play_count Number of times the media (Live or VOD) played
play_uu Number of distinct users who ever played the media (Live or VOD)
play_duration Total play time of the media (Live or VOD) in seconds
broadcasting hour The duration that some broadcasters have created live streaming for how much time

Concept

Straas writes change records with monotonic increasing index when new statistics are generated. In each synchronization round, you calls sync API to retrieve changes larger than your last seen index with ascending order repeatedly until no more changes.

For example, assume your last seen index is 5 (i.e. statistics with index 0 ~ 4 already persisted in your database), you could sync data in following steps:

  1. Call sync API with index 5, Straas returns changes with index 16, 27 and 38
  2. Call sync API again with 38 (last seen), Straas returns changes with index 49, 70
  3. Call sync API again with 70 (last seen), Straas returns no more changes
  4. Sleep for a while (30 ~ 60 seconds are recommended) then repeat step 1

Note that each media_type uses different index, please store last seen index of different media_type separately. Note that returned index are in ascending order but NOT continuous number.

Authentication

These APIs are authenticated through an application token. Knowing how to create and get an application token please refer application token document.

APIs

Sync Live/VOD view count, view time and unique users

This API provides data synchronization of daily statistics of both Live and VOD.

Endpoint

GET https://app.straas.net/api/v1/app/sync/statistic

Request Headers

Field Required Description
Authorization O Bearer <application_token>
  • for more details about application token, refer to the document

Request Parameters

Field Required Description
media_type O must be "media"
update_index O the last seen index, use 0 for the first time
page_size X Number of results to return per page (100 ~ 3000), default is 1000
  • note that, you could only retrieve data within 10 days

Response

Field Type Description
next_index string update_index for next sync API requests
data array media statistics data. deduplication
[data.index] string id of the record
[data.time] string timestamp at the beginning of the day in RFC3339
[data.account] string user account
[data.media] string live ID or VOD ID
[data.mode] string media mode, "vod" or "live"
[data.hit_count] integer Number of times the media (Live or VOD) embedded page loaded

[data.play_count] integer Number of times the media (Live or VOD) played
[data.play_uu] integer Number of distinct users who ever played the media (Live or VOD)
[data.play_duration] integer Total play time of the media (LIve or VOD) in seconds
  • deduplication
    • in order to get latest record from DB, we deduplicate those records by key (account, media, mode, time)
    • in this way, the response size would not be the same as input page_size
