API Stats

The API Request Stats chart on the ASA2 Dashboard shows your API request activity. You can select different time periods from the dropdown:

• Today: Shows requests for the current calendar day, grouped by hour
• Last 7 Days: Shows requests for the past 7 days, grouped by day
• Last 30 Days: Shows requests for the past 30 days, grouped by day

All time periods use your WordPress timezone setting (configured under Settings > General) for day boundaries.

TIP

You can configure how long API stats data is retained and how many entries to keep under Options → Logging → API Stats Retention.

Detailed List

If you click the "Open detailed list" button in the "API Request Stats" metabox on the ASA2 dashboard, a table with detailed information about the last API requests opens.

Request Type

The column "Request Type" contains information about the type of request.

These request types exist:

• GetItems: With this request the data of one or more products defined by ASIN are requested.
• SearchItems: This type represents a product search query.
• GetVariations: This request is used to query the price range of a product if no price information is contained in the GetItems request and this function is activated by option Options Advanced Handle Variations.

Known Errors

InvalidParameterValue

A message like

"InvalidParameterValue: The ItemId B01ALKM6A0 provided in the request is invalid."

can have several reasons.

Reason 1

This product is in the Products section and ASA2 tries to update it regularly.

Solution: Search for this ASIN in your Products section and delete or replace the product.

Reason 2

This product is not in the Products section, but is instead embedded on a page. In this case ASA2 tries to load this product via API, cannot find it in the store and the error occurs.

Solution: Delete this product from the page that is mentioned in the statistics entry in the details column ("permalink").

NoResults

This error is known with GetVariations requests (e.g. to calculate the price range) if there are no variations for the product.
