Parameters

Parameter
Type
Description
In
Required
query
string

The user session query to be executed. See USQL documentation pageï»ż for syntax details.

You can find the available columns of the usersession table in the UserSession object.

Here is an example of the query: SELECT country, city, COUNT(*) FROM usersession GROUP BY country, city.

query
required
startTimestamp
integer

The start timestamp of the query, in UTC milliseconds.

If not set or set as 0, 2 hours behind the current time is used.

If the exact times are important, set the timeframe in the query itself (query parameter).

query
optional
endTimestamp
integer

The end timestamp of the query, in UTC milliseconds.

If not set or set as 0, the current timestamp is used.

If the exact times are important, set the timeframe in the query itself (query parameter).

query
optional
offsetUTC
integer

Optional offset of local time to UTC time in minutes. Offset will be applied to Date fields encountered in the query.

Can be positive or negative. E.g. if the local time is UTC+02:00, the timeOffset is 120. If it is UTC-05:00, timeOffset is -300.

query
optional
pageSize
integer

Optional limit on how many of the actual query results should be returned in the tabular result.

query
optional
pageOffset
integer

Optional offset of the requested results from the start of tabular results. Relates to pageSize.

E.g. on a query that might return 500 results, you might want to receive results in chunks of 50 rows.

this can be achieved by using pageSize=50, and setting pageOffset in subsequent calls.In the example adding pageOffset=50 returns result rows 51-100.

query
optional
addDeepLinkFields
boolean

Add (true) to enable deep linking of additional fields in the query.

If not set, then false is used

query
optional
explain
boolean

Add (true) or don't add (false) some additional information about the result to the response.

It helps to understand the query and how the result was calculated.

If not set, then false is used

query

Response body objects

The UsqlResultAsTable object

The user session query result as a table.

Element
Type
Description
additionalColumnNames
string[]

A list of columns in the additionalValues table.

Only present if the endpoint was called with deepLinkFields=true parameter.

additionalValues
array[]

A list of data rows.

Each array element represents a row in the table of additionally linked fields.

The size of each data row and the order of the elements correspond to the additionalColumnNames content.

Only present if the endpoint was called with deepLinkFields=true parameter.

columnNames
string[]

A list of columns in the result table.

explanations
string[]

Additional information about the query and the result, that helps to understand the query and how the result was calculated.

Only appears when the explain parameter is set to true.

Example: The number of results was limited to the default of 50. Use the LIMIT clause to increase or decrease this limit.

extrapolationLevel
integer

The extrapolation level of the result.

To improve performance, some results may be calculated from a subset of actual data. The extrapolation level indicates the share of actual data in the result.

The number is the denominator of a fraction and indicates the amount of actual data. The value 1 means that the result contains only the actual data. The value 4 means that result is calculated using 1/4 of the actual data.

If you need the analysis to be based on the actual data, reduce the timeframe of your query. For example, in case of extrapolation level of 4, try to use 1/4 of the original timeframe.

values
array[]

A list of data rows.

Each array element represents a row in the result table.

The size of each data row and the order of the elements correspond to the columnNames content.

The AnyValue object

A schema representing an arbitrary value type.

Example

In this example, the request executes the SELECT country, city, avg(duration), max(duration) FROM usersession GROUP BY country, city query.

The API token is passed in the Authorization header.

The result is truncated to 4 entries.

Since the timeframe is not specified, the query uses the default timeframe of 2 hours back from the current time.

The resulting table has four columns: country, city, average duration, and maximal duration. The values array contains rows of the table.

The extrapolationLevel of 4 indicates that the values are extrapolated from 1/4th of the actual data.
