Get error reporting data for your app

Use this method in the Microsoft Store analytics API to get aggregate error reporting data for your app in JSON format for a given date range and other optional filters. This method can only retrieve errors that occurred in the last 30 days. This information is also available in the Failures section of the Health report in Partner Center.

You can retrieve additional error information by using the get error details, get stack trace, and download CAB file methods.

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 header

Header Type Description
Authorization string Required. The Azure AD access token in the form Bearer <token>.

Request parameters

Parameter Type Description Required
applicationId string The Store ID of the app for which you want to retrieve error reporting data. The Store ID is available on the App identity page in Partner Center. An example Store ID is 9WZDNCRFJ3Q8. Yes
startDate date The start date in the date range of error reporting data to retrieve. The default is the current date. If aggregationLevel is day, week, or month, this parameter should specify a date in the format mm/dd/yyyy. If aggregationLevel is hour, this parameter can specify a date in the format mm/dd/yyyy or a date and time in the format yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss.

Note:  This method can only retrieve errors that occurred in the last 30 days.
No
endDate date The end date in the date range of error reporting data to retrieve. The default is the current date. If aggregationLevel is day, week, or month, this parameter should specify a date in the format mm/dd/yyyy. If aggregationLevel is hour, this parameter can specify a date in the format mm/dd/yyyy or a date and time in the format yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss. 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 rows in the response. Each statement contains a field name from the response body and value that are associated with the eq or ne operators, and statements can be combined using and or or. String values must be surrounded by single quotes in the filter parameter. You can specify the following fields from the response body:

  • applicationName
  • failureName
  • failureHash
  • symbol
  • osVersion
  • osRelease
  • eventType
  • market
  • deviceType
  • packageName
  • packageVersion
  • date
No
aggregationLevel string Specifies the time range for which to retrieve aggregate data. Can be one of the following strings: hour, day, week, or month. If unspecified, the default is day. If you specify week or month, the failureName and failureHash values are limited to 1000 buckets.

Note:  If you specify hour, you can retrieve error data only from the previous 72 hours. To retrieve error data older than 72 hours, specify day or one of the other aggregation levels.
No
orderby string A statement that orders the result data values. The syntax is orderby=field [order],field [order],.... The field parameter can be one of the following strings:
  • applicationName
  • failureName
  • failureHash
  • symbol
  • osVersion
  • osRelease
  • eventType
  • market
  • deviceType
  • packageName
  • packageVersion
  • date

The order parameter is optional, and can be asc or desc to specify ascending or descending order for each field. The default is asc.

Here is an example orderby string: orderby=date,market

No
groupby string A statement that applies data aggregation only to the specified fields. You can specify the following fields:
  • failureName
  • failureHash
  • symbol
  • osVersion
  • eventType
  • market
  • deviceType
  • packageName
  • packageVersion

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

  • date
  • applicationId
  • applicationName
  • deviceCount
  • eventCount

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

No
