We’ll use Java for the examples, mostly because it translates fairly easily to a. Let’s take this Campaign report as an example:Ĭampaign Report in SiteCatalystYou can see that the dimensions are tracking codes and the metric is “Visits”, easy. The report in SiteCatalyst or Report Builder is therefore a really good prototype that’ll help you a) define your report and b) debug really easily. If you run your report against the Reporting API at a specific time and your marketer pulls his at the same time, your numbers will match exactly. There is no hidden trick, it just pulls the exact same data. The Reporting API gives you access to the aggregated reports that SiteCatalyst and Report Builder show as well. Or, if he is so inclined, have him show you in Report Builder. Then, and only then, have him log into SiteCatalyst and show you the actual report he wants.
