Usage

Create an instance of matomo

require(__DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php');

use VisualAppeal\Matomo;

$matomo = new Matomo('http://stats.example.org', 'my_access_token', 'siteId');

There are some basic parameters (period, date, range) which you can define at the beginning. They do not change until you reset them with

$matomo->reset();

So you can execute multiple requests without specifying the parameters again.

siteId

The ID of your website, single number, list separated through comma "1,4,7", or "all"

period

The period you request the statistics for

Matomo::PERIOD_DAY
Matomo::PERIOD_WEEK
Matomo::PERIOD_MONTH
Matomo::PERIOD_YEAR
Matomo::PERIOD_RANGE

If you set the period to Matomo::PERIOD_RANGE you can specify the range via

$matomo->setRange('2012-01-14', '2012-04-30'); //All data from the first to the last date
$matomo->setRange('2012-01-14', Matomo::DATE_YESTERDAY); //All data from the first until yesterday
$matomo->setRange('2012-01-14'); //All data from the first until now

When you use the period range you do not need to specify a date!

If you set it to something other than Matomo::PERIOD_RANGE you can specify the date via

$matomo->setPeriod(x);
$matomo->setDate('2012-03-03');

Case x of PERIOD_DAY the report is created for the third of march, 2012
Case x of PERIOD_WEEK the report is created for the first week of march, 2012
Case x of PERIOD_MONTH the report is created for march, 2012
Case x of PERIOD_YEAR the report is created for 2012

date

Set the date via

$matomo->setDate('YYYY-mm-dd');

Or use the constants

$matomo->setDate(Matomo::DATE_TODAY);
$matomo->setDate(Matomo::DATE_YESTERDAY);

Report for the last seven weeks including the current week

$matomo->setPeriod(Matomo::PERIOD_WEEK);
$matomo->setDate('last7');

Report for the last 2 years without the current year

$matomo->setPeriod(Matomo::PERIOD_YEAR);
$matomo->setDate('previous2');

segment, idSubtable, expanded

For some functions you can specify segment, idSubtable and expanded. Please refer to the matomo segment documentation and to the api reference for more information about these parameters.

format

Specify a output format via

$matomo->setFormat(Matomo::FORMAT_JSON);

JSON is converted with json_decode before returning the request.

All available formats

Matomo::FORMAT_XML
Matomo::FORMAT_JSON
Matomo::FORMAT_CSV
Matomo::FORMAT_TSV
Matomo::FORMAT_HTML
Matomo::FORMAT_RSS
Matomo::FORMAT_PHP

Example

Get all the unique visitors from yesterday:

require(__DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php');

use VisualAppeal\Matomo;

$matomo = new Matomo('http://stats.example.org', 'my_access_token', 1, Matomo::FORMAT_JSON);

$matomo->setPeriod(Matomo::PERIOD_DAY);
$matomo->setDate(Matomo::DATE_YESTERDAY);

echo 'Unique visitors yesterday: ' . $matomo->getUniqueVisitors();
