geographic_view, how to use segments.hour

[梁景熙]

hello,

   My team has used the geographic view for a while. However, we have to use the view data hourly in our new job. It seems like the geographic_view can't support the segments hour. Do we have any solution?

Thanks~

Hello there,

Thank you for reaching out to us.

With regard to your concern on using the geographic_view data hourly in your job, I'm afraid that the hour segment isn't available right now. In addition, generating reports hourly is not recommended as data availability may take some time as discussed in our data freshness guide.

As an aside, we can raise a feature request for adding segments.hour into the report ; however, can you share to us your use case as to how this feature would greatly affect your business?

Hello

Thank you for the reply. Firstly, the most important effect is that hourly data can merge to different time-zone data. At present, we can get only one time-zone data from the view report. However, there are some campaigns advertising in other countries having different time zone. It's necessary to analyze this data with the true zone.

We are looking forward that the segment hour can be added to the report in near future. By the way, is there any other solution to get the different time-zone data directly now?
Thanks again and best regards~

Hi there,

I work with Mark and will assist you. Thank you for stating your use case, currently the UI doesn't offer both hourly and geographic segmentation combined, you can raise your request with product support. In the event that your request is granted by product support, you may want to come back to us to implement this feature in the API.
