API Explorer

The API Explorer is an interactive query builder in the developer portal. Use it to explore Vitals and Monetization API metrics, build requests visually, and run them against your live data, all without writing any code. It's the fastest way to try a query before you integrate the API into your own app.

For each query you build, the API Explorer gives you the following:

  • The full JSON response, inline
  • A copy-ready cURL command
  • Code snippets in Java, Python, and Node.js

With the visual interface, you can do the following:

  • Select an API and query type, pick metrics and dimensions, apply filters, and run the query
  • Watch the generated API request update in real time as you change options
  • Inspect the full JSON response inline
  • Copy the request into your own code

Use the API Explorer

Open the API Explorer from the API Access tab in the App Analytics section of the developer portal, then complete the form in the following order.

1. Select the API

In the API field, choose the data you want. Your choice determines the query types, metric sets, dimensions, and filters that are available.

API What it covers
Vitals App health and performance: crash, ANR, and LMK rates and the top issues behind them, plus startup latency, ready-to-use time, slow-start rate, and fluidity
Monetization Subscriptions: signups, renewals, cancellations, reactivations, active subscriptions, health, cancellation surveys, and fulfillment

2. Select the query type

For Vitals, choose a Query Type:

  • Metrics: Query a metric set (rates, counts, and timings), optionally broken down by dimensions and narrowed by filters.
  • Issues: Return the top issues ranked by frequency, with stack traces. In this mode, you choose a Report Type instead of a metric set.

Monetization supports Metrics only, so the query type is fixed.

3. Select your app

In the App field, select or enter your Android package name (for example, com.amazon.sampleapp). This must be an app owned by your vendor account.

4. Choose the metric set or report type

For the Issues query type (Vitals only), choose a Report Type: Crash or ANR.

For the Metrics query type, choose a Metric Set. The options depend on the API.

Vitals metric sets

Metric set What it measures
Crash Crash rate, user-perceived crash rate, and crash event counts
ANR ANR rate, user-perceived ANR rate, and ANR event counts
LMK LMK rate, user-perceived LMK rate, and LMK event counts
App Latency Time for the first app activity to appear during cold and warm starts
Ready to Use Time for the app to become fully rendered and usable during cold and warm starts
Slow Start Rate Percentage of distinct devices that experienced a slow cold or warm start
Fluidity Dropped-frame rate and percentage of distinct devices that experienced slow rendering

Monetization metric sets

Metric set What it measures
Subscription Signup New subscription signups and signup revenue
Subscription Renewal Subscription renewals and renewal revenue
Subscription Cancellation Cancelled subscriptions and refund amounts
Subscription Reactivation Previously cancelled subscriptions that were reactivated, and the revenue from them
Active Subscriptions Total active subscriptions on a given day
Subscription Health Auto-renewal and grace-period activity
Cancellation Survey Cancellation reasons reported by subscribers
Subscription Fulfillment Receipt delivery status and developer acknowledgement latency

5. Choose aggregation and time period

  • Aggregation: Select HOURLY or DAILY.
  • Time Period: Choose a preset (for example, Last 7 days or Last 30 days), or Custom date range to specify exact dates.

The query window depends on the aggregation. All times are in UTC.

  • DAILY: Counts complete days only, ending yesterday. Today is excluded because it isn't finished yet. For example, if today is September 28, Last 30 days covers August 29 through September 27, inclusive. The maximum look-back is 30 days.
  • HOURLY: Goes up to T-3 hours for Monetization metrics and T-2 hours for Vitals metrics.

6. Pick metrics

Use the Metrics multi-select dropdown to choose which metrics to include. Leave it empty to query all metrics for the selected metric set.

Available metrics vary by metric set. For example:

  • Vitals LMK: lmkRate, lmkRate7dUserWeighted, lmkRate28dUserWeighted, userPerceivedLmkRate, userPerceivedLmkRate7dUserWeighted, userPerceivedLmkRate28dUserWeighted, distinctDevices, lmkCount
  • Monetization Subscription Signup: signups, signupRevenue
  • Monetization Subscription Fulfillment: totalReceipts, fulfilled, unavailable, pending, notEligible, existingPurchase, notDelivered, p50AcknowledgementDelay, p90AcknowledgementDelay, p95AcknowledgementDelay

7. Optional: Add dimensions

Select dimensions to break down results. Each dimension adds a column to the output. The available dimensions depend on the selected API and metric set:

  • Vitals: Version Code, Country Code, Device Model, Device Type, Device OS, OS Version
  • Monetization: Marketplace, Term SKU, Device Type, Device OS, Subscription Type, Renewal Type, Cancellation Type, Cancellation Reason, Purchase Channel

8. Optional: Apply filters

Filters narrow results without adding a breakdown column. Set one or more filter values. The available filters depend on the API.

Vitals filters

  • Version Code: Filter to a specific app version
  • Country: Filter to one or more countries (for example, US)
  • Device Model: Filter to specific device models
  • Device Type: Filter by device family
  • Device OS: Filter by Fire OS or Vega OS devices
  • OS Version: Filter by OS version

Monetization filters

  • Marketplace: Filter to a specific marketplace
  • Term SKU: Filter to a specific subscription product SKU
  • Device Type: Filter by device family
  • Device OS: Filter by Fire OS or Vega OS devices
  • Subscription Type, Renewal Type, Cancellation Type, Cancellation Reason, Purchase Channel: Filter by the corresponding subscription attribute

9. Set page size

Choose the maximum number of rows per response (default: 1,000, max: 100,000).

10. Run the query

Select Run Query. The response appears in the Response panel on the right.

Request Preview panel

As you configure your query, the Request Preview panel updates in real time and shows the following:

  • The full POST URL
  • The complete cURL command and JSON request body

You can expand the preview into a full-screen view for easier reading, or copy it to your clipboard using the copy button.

Response panel

After you run a query, the Response panel displays the full JSON response, including the following:

  • rows[], each with its time period, dimension values, and metric values
  • A pagination token (nextPageToken), if more results are available

You can expand the response into a full-screen view to inspect large result sets.

Tips

See the following tips for using the API Explorer:

  • Start simple: Run a query with no dimensions or filters first to verify your app has data, then add breakdowns.
  • Check for empty results: If you get empty results, your selected time range might be ahead of available data. For details, see the query window in step 5. Try an earlier date range.
  • Copy and integrate: Use the Request Preview to copy the exact request into your app code.
  • 28-day metrics require DAILY: 28-day user-weighted metrics aren't available for HOURLY aggregation. Switch aggregation to DAILY.
  • Count vs. Rate: Use crashCount, anrCount, or lmkCount for absolute event volumes. Use rate metrics for normalized trend comparison across versions or devices.
