I’m pulling four days worth of data from the Twitter Ads API. The metrics are returned in an array with a value for each day. How am I supposed to know which day each item corresponds to? I haven’t found the answer in documentation and the sort_by parameter doesn’t appear to have any effect (it doesn’t show up in the request/params section of the response and the values are displayed in the same order regardless of whether I use asc or desc).
This twurl command:
twurl -H "ads-api.twitter.com" "/2/stats/accounts/r4ge93?sort_by=start_time-desc&entity=CAMPAIGN&entity_ids=9nlj9&granularity=DAY&metric_groups=ENGAGEMENT&start_time=2017-10-26&end_time=2017-10-30&placement=ALL_ON_TWITTER" | jq .
Yields this response:
