Chart

A visual representation, for example, a bar chart or a pie chart, defined within a report. Although visual rendering is not exposed through the public API, chart definitions are available in the report structure.

Comparison operator

The logical operation used in a field criterion to compare field values. Supported operators include:

  • EQ – equal to
  • NOT_EQ – not equal to
  • STARTS_WITH – value begins with the specified string
  • IN – value is one of the specified values
  • NOT_IN – value is not any of the specified values

Date filter

A component of a report filter that scopes report execution to a specific time window. Supports two modes:

  • Relative – Specify a named range such as LAST_7_DAYS or LAST_30_DAYS using the relativeRange field.
  • Absolute – specify an explicit startDate and endDate in YYYY-MM-DD format. Both values must be supplied together.

When both a relative range and absolute dates are present in the same request, the relative range takes precedence.

Field criteria

A condition applied to a specific metadata field in the dataset. Each criterion specifies a name (the field identifier), an operator (the comparison to perform), and a values array (the values to compare against). Multiple field criteria can be combined in the fieldFilters array of a report filter.
