I’m currently trying to pull revenue data for specific users out of Amplitude using the Revenue LTV endpoint but getting some unexpected behavior.
Before I even added a segment definition to define specific users in the request I wanted to understand its behavior and I’m not getting the results I’d expect.
GET https://amplitude.com/api/2/revenue/ltv?start=20210415&end=20210422&m=2&i=1Is the request I’m making. From the documentation I thought this would be the daily (i=1) TOTAL REVENUE (m=2) of our Users. However my response is essentially empty data:
{
"data": {
"series": [
{
"combined": {
"count": 0,
"paid": 0,
"r1d": 0,
"r2d": 0,
"r3d": 0,
"r4d": 0,
"r5d": 0,
….
This continues for every day in the range. I make the same request except change the interval to 7 and…
{
"data": {
"series": [
{
"combined": {
"count": 1,
"paid": 1,
"r1d": 103057.4,
"r2d": 217844.1,
"r3d": 217844.1,
"r4d": 217844.1,
"r5d": 217844.1,
….
The number 217844.1 continues for many more lines before another empty empty dictionary like before. Why is my data going from completely empty to this upon changing the interval? I can confirm there is purchase data for every day in that range.
I added a segment definition to try and pull data from a specific store and one again got a whole list of “0” values.
I was under the impression from the documentation I’d get a “count”, “paid” and “total_amount” with this data but I see no such fields.
Is this behavior expected and I’m just misunderstanding the purpose of the endpoint or is something wrong with the request itself? To restate: my ultimate goal is to pull the TOTAL REVENUE for a given user within a date range.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks!
