Get app conversions by channel

Use this method in the Microsoft Store analytics API to get aggregate conversions by channel for an application during a given date range and other optional filters.

  • A conversion means that a customer (signed in with a Microsoft account) has newly obtained a license to your app (whether you charged money or you've offered it for free).
  • The channel is the method in which a customer arrived at your app's listing page (for example, via the Store or a custom app promotion campaign).

This information is also available in the Acquisitions report in Partner Center.

Prerequisites

To use this method, you need to first do the following:

  • If you have not done so already, complete all the prerequisites for the Microsoft Store analytics API.
  • Obtain an Azure AD access token to use in the request header for this method. After you obtain an access token, you have 60 minutes to use it before it expires. After the token expires, you can obtain a new one.

Request parameters

Parameter Type Description Required
applicationId string The Store ID of the app for which you want to retrieve conversion data. An example Store ID is 9WZDNCRFJ3Q8. Yes
startDate date The start date in the date range of conversion data to retrieve. The default is 1/1/2016. No
endDate date The end date in the date range of conversion data to retrieve. The default is the current date. No
top int The number of rows of data to return in the request. The maximum value and the default value if not specified is 10000. If there are more rows in the query, the response body includes a next link that you can use to request the next page of data. No
skip int The number of rows to skip in the query. Use this parameter to page through large data sets. For example, top=10000 and skip=0 retrieves the first 10000 rows of data, top=10000 and skip=10000 retrieves the next 10000 rows of data, and so on. No
filter string One or more statements that filter the response body. Each statement can use the eq or ne operators, and statements can be combined using and or or. You can specify the following strings in the filter statements. For descriptions, see the conversion values section in this article.
  • applicationName
  • appType
  • customCampaignId
  • referrerUriDomain
  • channelType
  • storeClient
  • deviceType
  • market

Here is an example filter parameter: filter=deviceType eq 'PC'.

No
aggregationLevel string Specifies the time range for which to retrieve aggregate data. Can be one of the following strings: day, week, or month. If unspecified, the default is day. No
orderby string A statement that orders the result data values for each conversion. The syntax is orderby=field [order],field [order],.... The field parameter can be one of the following strings:
  • date
  • applicationName
  • appType
  • customCampaignId
  • referrerUriDomain
  • channelType
  • storeClient

groupby string A statement that applies data aggregation only to the specified fields. You can specify the following fields:
  • date
  • applicationName
  • appType
  • customCampaignId
  • referrerUriDomain
  • channelType
  • storeClient
  • deviceType
  • market

The returned data rows will contain the fields specified in the groupby parameter as well as the following:

  • date
  • applicationId
  • conversionCount
  • clickCount

The groupby parameter can be used with the aggregationLevel parameter. For example: groupby=ageGroup,market&aggregationLevel=week

No
