Before you start
Make sure you have:- API Key - Your authentication token
- Brand ID - The ID for the brand you want to report on
Test in the dashboard first
Build a Graph report in the Dash Social Dashboard UI to preview channel, brand, and metric combinations before using the API.Implementation
Step 1: Map your parameters
Understand what parameters are available to control your time-series data.Time-series data structure: The Graph report returns values grouped by date. Each date in your range has its own metric value for plotting trends over time.
Step 2: Make the API call
Send a GET request to/reports/data using the parameters from Step 1. Set report_type=GRAPH to get time-series data broken down by date instead of aggregated totals.
Step 3: Read the response
The API returns time-series data organized by brand, channel, metric, and date. Sample response:data: Nested structure organized by brand → channel → metric → date- Brand ID (e.g.,
144): Your brand ID - Channel (e.g.,
INSTAGRAM): The social platform - Metric (e.g.,
VIEWS): The performance metric - Date (e.g.,
2025-05-01): Each date in your range - Value (e.g.,
205.0): The metric value for that date
Want aggregated totals instead? Use the Metric report to get summed KPIs without time breakdowns.
