Sample PHP Code

I have been using the csv files, but its clear I need to move beyond that.

So my plan is to use PHP and the API. I have been reading through here and the Docs, but I don't see what I am looking for. I am looking for some sample php code that I could copy to my system and make some changes like sitekey and others to make it retrieve my site info.

Just a basic program or a few lines of code with the proper syntax so I could get started. I am most concerned about proper syntax.

Sometimes you can spend allot of time just getting a basic result. Samples are really helpful.

Thank You

As long as you know how to access array keys and/or loop through an array, that's really all you need.

If you copy/paste the following code into a PHP file, it will output the structure of the PHP array returned by this query (from our demo stats)

$x = unserialize( file_get_contents("https://api.getclicky.com/api/stats/4?site_id=32020&sitekey=2e05fe2778b6&type=visitors,actions,actions-average,time-average,bounce-rate&output=php"));
print_r( $x );

Thank You. Thats exactly what I was looking for !

Okay, I have been testing the API. It loads the data very fast. I have not yet figuered out how to traverse through the array, but I will keep trying.

Now when I use the "pages-entrance" I don't get what I expected. I expected like the CSV but more.
For instance in the "pages-entrance" I also want to see search terms.

Thank You.

So with this code:
$x = unserialize( file_get_contents("https://api.getclicky.com/api/stats/4?site_id=66****8&sitekey=0fa******46f62&type=visitors,searches,pages-entrance,bounce-rate&output=php"));

I just want to confirm. Its returns 10 records. the array for searches is perfectly synchronized with the array for entrance pages right?
So the first value in the search array is the search term for the first value in the array for entrance pages.

Because what I really want is the entrance pages and the search terms. Now some entrance pages have no search therms because they are a link or an ad.

No, they are unrelated. We don't have a report that correlates landing pages with search terms, although that is something we want to add!

Okay, everything seems to be working fine, except I am not getting large amounts data.
I only get 186 visitors info.

$x = unserialize( file_get_contents("https://api.getclicky.com/api/stats/4?site_id=66*****68&sitekey=0fa4******dd346f62&type=visitors,visitors-list&limit=all&&date=2011-05-01,2011-05-15,bounce-rate&output=php"));

Error in code, here is the correct code:
$x = unserialize( file_get_contents("https://api.getclicky.com/api/stats/4?site_id=663*****8&sitekey=0fa*********62&type=visitors,visitors-list&limit=all&date=2011-05-01,2011-05-15,bounce-rate&output=php"));

The other troubling thing is I get different amounts each time. Now getting 190, then 196.

This is wrong:

date=2011-05-01,2011-05-15,bounce-rate

Our code will see that as an invalid date range and replace it with "today". Hence why the number is growing, because it's for today's stats.

Yes, I see the dates are current. So what would be the correct syntax for visitors-list, limit all, date range?

Everything is right you just need to remove ",bounce-rate" from the date variable.

Be careful using file_get_contents over and over as it doesn't close connections right away.
