get_active_users {reveneraR}R Documentation

Get Active Users by Product ID and Various Date Spans

Description

For a given period of time (a day, week, or month) Revenera' API summarizes and returns the number of active users. With this function you can return daily, weekly, or monthly active users for multiple product ids.

Usage

get_active_users(
  rev_product_ids,
  rev_date_type,
  rev_start_date,
  rev_end_date,
  rev_session_id,
  rev_username
)

Arguments

rev_product_ids

A vector of Revenera product id's for which you want active user data.

rev_date_type

Level of aggregation, Revenera will accept "day", "week", or "month".

rev_start_date

Date formatted YYYY-MM-DD. Revenera may give an error if you try to go back too far.

rev_end_date

Date formatted YYYY-MM-DD.

rev_session_id

Session ID established by the connection to Revenera API. This can be obtained with revenera_auth().

rev_username

Revenera username.

Details

You can specify a start and end date but Revenera does not store an indefinite period of historical data. In my experience this is three years but I do not know if this varies on a product or client level.

It is not recommended that your username be stored directly in your code. There are various methods and packages available that are more secure; this package does not require you to use any one in particular.

Value

Data frame with active users for each product id and unique date within the range

Examples

## Not run: 
rev_user <- "my_username"
rev_pwd <- "super_secret"
product_ids_list <- c("123", "456", "789")
start_date <- lubridate::floor_date(Sys.Date(), unit = "months") - months(6)
end_date <- Sys.Date() - 1
session_id <- revenera_auth(rev_user, rev_pwd)
monthly_active_users <- get_active_users(
  product_ids_list,
  "month",
  start_date,
  end_date,
  session_id,
