REST API v3: GET emailing clicks (Marketing Suite)

Each emailing is tracked, which allows Copernica to provide you with emailing statistics. Clicks are one of these statistics. You can retrieve all clicks for a specific emailing by sending an HTTP GET call to the following URL:

https://api.copernica.com/v3/ms/emailing/{$emailingID}/clicks?access_token=xxxx

Parameters

The parameters for this method can be set to retrieve the statistics from a certain period and to only receive unique clicks. The latter means that only one click per destination per link will be counted. The following optional parameters are available:

  • begintime: The timestamp after which the clicks must have occurred (YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS format).
  • endtime: The timestamp before which the clicks must have occurred (YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS format).
  • unique: Boolean parameter that when set to true only retrieves unique clicks. By default all clicks are returned.

Returned fields

The method returns a JSON object with several clicks under the 'data' property. For each click the following fields is available:

  • ID: The ID of the click.
  • mailing: The ID of the mailing.
  • link: The link that was clicked.
  • timestamp: Timestamp of the click.
  • ip: The IP where the click occurred from.
  • useragent: User agent string of the machine used to click.
  • destination: The ID of the destination that clicked the link.
  • profile: The ID of the profile that clicked the link.
  • subprofile: The ID of the subprofile that clicked the link.

JSON example

A single click might look something like this:

{  
   "ID":"1",
   "mailing":"2",
   "link":"http:\/\/www.myshop.nl\/promotions\/customer\/{$profile.customerid}",
   "timestamp":"2014-10-14 11:33:22",
   "ip":"2a03:e280:0:1::1",
   "useragent":"Mozilla\/5.0 (Ubuntu; X11; Linux x86_64; rv:8.0) Gecko\/20100101 Firefox\/8.0",
   "destination":"1",
   "profile":null,
   "subprofile":null
}

PHP example

This script demonstrates how to use this API method:

// dependencies
require_once('copernica_rest_api.php');

// retrieve only unique clicks
$data = array(
    'unique'    =>  true
);

// change this into your access token
$api = new CopernicaRestAPI("your-access-token", 3);

// execute the call
print_r($api->get("ms/emailing/{$emailingID}/clicks", $data));

This example requires the REST API class.
