Hi,

We are using chartbeat in our company to get real-time data and stats
for many websites. We are also using the cb API to get number of
unique visitors, % new visits, top content pages, etc. However, we
need some information on how big the page is on each website.Is there
anyway to capture pagesize of each page using ChartBeat?

This will give us complete picture and is definitely a desired feature
we want from CB API.

Looking forward for your response!

Thanks,
L

I'm not entirely sure what you mean by pagesize? If you mean the html
and all the assets loaded for the page (images, css, etc), then no, we
do not capture that.

If you mean the height of the page in pixels, then we do capture that.
It's the 'w' key in our data (see http://chartbeat.pbworks.com/w/page/Short-names).
So you can get that for a single path with the summary call:
http://api.chartbeat.com/summary/?host=hostname.com&apikey=xyz&keys=w&path=/
or for all pages with the pathsummary:
http://api.chartbeat.com/pathsummary/?host=hostname.com&apikey=xyz&keys=w

Is that what you are looking for?

Thanks for your reply allan. No, i just wanted the kbytes information
for each gif, or css or jpg images on the pages for each website. Is
this something we can capture using chartbeat API?

No, sorry, we do not provide that.
