Kochava Reports

Python library to request and query reports in the Kochava platform. It can be used to generate reports and query for some metadata. The implemented functionality is not exhaustive and is focused on generating reports. Scheduling reports is currently not possible.

Creating the client:

from kochavareports import KochavaClient, KochavaCredentials


credentials = KochavaCredentials('my API key', 'my app guid')
client = KochavaClient(credentials)

Creating a report:

Creating a one-time report is easy:

request_data = {
	'time_start': '2017-01-25',
	'time_end': '2017-02-07',
	'traffic': [
		'click',
		'install'
	],
	'traffic_grouping': [
		'network',
		'campaign'
	],
	'time_series': '1'
}
token = client.create_report(**request_data)
print token

time_start and time_end parameters can be ISO formatted strings, datetime objects or timestamps: they are converted internally to a timestamp, as required by the API.

More report parameters and usage examples can be found here:

Call Structure

If you want a Detail report instead of a Summary report (default), you can add an additional parameter reportCategory='detail'.

The returned token can be used to check the report progress and read the report data, as seen below.

Getting the report progress and read it:

Once a report has been queued you can check it's progress at any time. If it's completed you can read the report data:

response = client.get_report_progress(token)
if response.is_completed():
    report_data = client.read_report(response.get_report_url())
    print report_data
else:
    print response.progress

See here a list of reports fields:

Reports Overview

Polling until the report is completed:

If you don't have complex code and you are happy waiting until the report is completed you can use this code which does some basic polling:

result = client.wait_for_report(token, retry_interval_seconds=1,
                            start_delay_seconds=15, max_retries=30)
print result

The above code does simple polling: it waits for 15 seconds and then checks the report progress every second. When finished, the report result is returned. These are the default parameters and should work fine most of the time.

max_retries parameter is used to avoid infinite loop issues or possible rate-limiting issues. If you expect the report to take a long time to be completed you can set start_delay_seconds to a higher value.

If the max_retries limit has been reached a kochavareports.exception.PollMaxRetryException will be raised.

Misc

When making calls, you should generally check for kochavareports.exception.HttpException, which will wrap around a requests.exceptions.RequestException adding some utility methods. All other exceptions extend the ApiException base class.
