Hey matt, do you have an idea why http://demo.piwik.org/?idSite=1&date=2010-12-3&apiModule=Actions&apiAction=getOutlinks&period=week&module=API&token_auth=anonymous&format=xml&language=de&method=API.getProcessedReport isn't returning any reportData? It works if I replace the period by day: period=day Also date=last10 isn't working. Is this as expected? Greetz Thomas |

Seems to be there isn't returned any data only for the current week. |
|
Hm... it works in version Piwik 1.0 even for the current week... |

Thomas's request in comment:1 works now on the demo server. I wonder if this is the same as wheelerb's post:

The issue might be that on the last day of the week, there is a bug that causes the week not to be processed for this week. I would think this is a regression since I didn't see this on the demo before, but I'm not 100% sure. |

For the 'report not processed' bug, I created a new ticket: #1876 Regarding using the metadata in the Piwik Mobile client, is there any issue or is it going OK? |

Hi matt, metadata in the Piwik Mobile client seems to work now. Even statistics from current week are now displayed. |

Metadata works. I plan to add further features. For example let the user choose between different available metrics (visits, nb_visits, ...) which is currently not available. I'll create separate tickets for those features. |
In Piwik 0.8, a new powerful API was release: metadata API.
The Metadata API is documented in the (new) doc page at: http://dev.piwik.org/trac/wiki/API/Metadata
The Metadata API is used to
The Piwik Mobile would therefore not have anything hard coded (list of reports, etc.) as it would simply call the Metadata API once, cache it for the given idSite/date/period.
Then when a specific report is clicked in the Mobile UI, the API.getProcessedReport would return all data ready to be displayed in the Mobile Client.
Let me know if this makes sense.
The big advantage is that, when in the future new reports are released in Piwik, the Mobile client will automatically display these reports (translated, etc.).
This should also simplify the code and make maintenance easier.
This Metadata API is currently used to build the PDF UIs and generate PDF reports. It will also be used for the Custom Alerts plugin.
Let me know if you have any question
