Hi there!
This month we are introducing a new Analytics API – an aggregation API that crosses ALL our resources in the following form: /totals/

The Analytics API enables you to retrieve aggregated results from thousands of records, within a few seconds, grouped by any API field name and filtered by any SQL-Style applicable.

See for example the Transaction Lines Totals, the Inventory Totals and once again – ALL Pepperi resources now include the totals API.

So, lets take a look at one good example – let’s say I want to build a nice Pie Chart of Sales per Brand. To get this data all I need to do is perform the following request:

GET /v1.0/totals/transaction_lines?select=sum(Transaction.GrandTotal) as SumGrandTotal&group_by=Item.MainCategoryID as Brand

The result would be:

[
  {
    "Brand": "Nike",
    "SumGrandTotal": 136100326.83340874
  },
  {
    "Brand": "Adidas",
    "SumGrandTotal": 142329502.61878213
  },
  {
    "Brand": "Reebok",
    "SumGrandTotal": 609653.4861999999
  }
]

Homework: what API request would it take to build the attached Pie Chart of Sales Per Country?

That’s it for this release – I am sure you’ll enjoy our Analytics API – it saves a lot of coding work and even more importantly – retrieves results MUCH FASTER.

Happy integrating!
