Hello all,
I'm currently using Apple Connect API to retrieve download info from my app. Namely I'm using App Store Installations and Deletions under the Analytics Reports API, using an ONGOING request with daily granularity.
Unfortunately, the data received is not matching the data from apple store connect UI.
Under the functional doc for the report-generated-fields (https://developer.apple.com/documentation/analytics-reports/app-installs), I see the following descriptions:
Field Date:
"Date on which the event occurred. For weekly and monthly instances, this column represents the first day of the week and month, respectively."
Field App Download Date:
"The date on which the app was downloaded onto the device. This field is only populated if the download occurred in the previous 30 days, otherwise it is null."
-
Since I am using daily granularity, could you clarify exactly what is the functional difference between the two fields?
-
Which one should I use to show the metric total downloads per day?
-
Since the field App Download Date becomes null after 30 days, if that is the one to use, how could I gather historical data from a ONE_TIME_SNAPSHOT request?
Thank you very much,
HH
