openapi: 3.2.0 info: title: Matomo Reporting API for plugin Events API version: 1.0.0 description: 'The Events API lets you request reports about your users'' Custom Events. Events are tracked using the Javascript Tracker trackEvent() function, or using the [Tracking HTTP API](https://developer.matomo.org/api-reference/tracking-api).
An event is defined by an event category (Videos, Music, Games...), an event action (Play, Pause, Duration, Add Playlist, Downloaded, Clicked...), and an optional event name (a movie name, a song title, etc.) and an optional numeric value.
This API exposes the following Custom Events reports: getCategory lists the top Event Categories, getAction lists the top Event Actions, getName lists the top Event Names.
These Events report define the following metrics: nb_uniq_visitors, nb_visits, nb_events. If you define values for your events, you can expect to see the following metrics: nb_events_with_value, sum_event_value, min_event_value, max_event_value, avg_event_value
The Events.get* reports can be used with an optional &secondaryDimension parameter. Secondary dimension is the dimension used in the sub-table of the Event report you are requesting.
Here are the possible values of secondaryDimension:
For example, to request all Custom Events Categories, and for each, the top Event actions, you would request: method=Events.getCategory&secondaryDimension=eventAction&flat=1. You may also omit &flat=1 in which case, to get top Event actions for one Event category, use method=Events.getActionFromCategoryId passing it the &idSubtable= of this Event category.' servers: - url: https://demo-proxy.innocraft.cloud/ description: Current Matomo instance security: - MatomoToken: [] tags: - name: Events description: 'The Events API lets you request reports about your users'' Custom Events.
