fetch_rb_traffic_public
downloads data on traffic metrics for all
research briefings on the public Parliament website during the given dates
and returns the data as a tibble.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 |
start_date |
The start date as an ISO 8601 string. |
end_date |
The end date as an ISO 8601 string. |
internal |
A boolean indicating whether to return only the results for traffic from internal parliamentary networks. The default is FALSE. |
by_date |
A boolean indicating whether to return the results broken down by date. The default is FALSE. |
by_page |
A boolean indicating whether to return the results broken down by page. The default is FALSE. |
combine |
A boolean indicating whether to combine the totals from different properties or to report them separately. Note that combining the traffic across properties can introduce errors in the number of users, as the same user may visit pages on different properties. The default is FALSE. |
merge_paths |
A boolean indicating whether to aggregate figures for all
pages that have the same root path i.e. for all pages whose paths differ
only by their query strings or internal anchors. This parameter is ignored
if |
anti_sample |
A boolean indicating whether to use googleAnalyticsR's anti-sample feature, which chunks API calls to keep the number of records requested under the API limits that trigger sampling. This makes the download process slower but ensures that all records are returned. Only use this feature if you see that an API request triggers sampling without it. The default is FALSE. |
use_resource_quotas |
A boolean indicating whether to use the resource
quotas in Parliament's Google Analytics account to prevent sampling.
This is a faster and more effective way to disable sampling than using
|
Note that this is not all research briefings traffic, as it does not include
traffic to the research briefings pages on the Parliamentary intranet. Use
fetch_rb_traffic_intranet
to retrieve equivalent data for the
Parliamentary intranet.
By default, traffic figures are reported separately for each website
property in Google Analytics that contains some of the requested data. You
can use the combine
argument to optionally combine traffic figures
so that each result appears only once with figures totalled across all
relevant properties. This makes it easier to produce aggregate figures for
traffic across a number of properties, but may introduce errors in the
number of users, as the same user may visit pages on different properties.
Traffic figures can be requested by page. Google Analytics treats webpages
requested with different query strings and section anchors as different
pages in its traffic data. You can use the merge_paths
argument to
optionally sum the figures for pages with the same base path. This makes it
easier to calculcate the total number of views each distinct page has
received, but note that this may introduce errors in the number of users, as
a user may visit the same page using URLs with different query strings and
anchors.
If combine
and merge_paths
are both set to TRUE, rows for
different properties are combined before paths are merged.
A tibble of traffic metrics.
