# Visits by Dwell Time Report

`POST /v1/reports/visit-metrics/dwell-time`

Retrieves visits for a given entity(venue/complex) broken by dwell time periods.<br/> <br/>The response includes:<br/> <ol> <li>Dwell time bins array: [0,5,15,30,45,60,75,90,105,120,135,150] (I.e. 5 represents 5-14 minutes, 150 represents all visits with dwell time higher than or equal to 150)</li> <li>Estimated foot traffic array: Indicates the total visits for the POI during the selected date range for each of the dwell time bins (correlated to the location in the dwell time bins array)</li> <li>Average dwell time</li> <li>Median dwell time</li> </ol> <br/> &#x23F1; <strong>Average measured processing time: 0.77 seconds </strong><br/> For more information on request retries best practices and processing measurements you may visit <a href="https://docs.placer.ai/reference/measurements"> this</a> page<br/><br/>
&#128205; This service supports the <<glossary:Nearby Activity report>>. Once setting a value to the nearbyRadius parameter, the report will be generated based on the nearby activity logic.

## Request body

- VisitsByGranularityRequest
  - `startDate` string, date, required — Queried data start date. Format YYYY-MM-DD
  - `endDate` string, date, required — Queried data end date. Format YYYY-MM-DD
  - `apiId` string, required — Placer API Entity Id
  - `filters` VmFilterObject — Filtering options for the report results.
    - `audienceType` string[] — If provided - metrics will be calculated based only on the specified types of audience.
    - `dwellTime` object — Metrics will be calculated considering the requested dwell time range.
      - `operator` '<' | '>=' — Less than (<) to Greater Equal (>=)
      - `value` integer — The wanted dwell time
    - `hoursRange` object — Filter the report’s results based on visits hours range. The filter is defined by 2 strings:<br/> 1. The starting hour to filter the reports results from (Format HH:MM XM, for example: 08:00 am).<br/> 2. The end hour to filter the reports results(Format HH:MM XM, for example: 11:59 pm) .
      - `fromHour` string, required
      - `toHour` string, required
    - `daysOfWeek` unknown[] — Filter visit calculation based on days of the week. Results will contain only requested days. Days are represented by using numbers where Monday=1 and Sunday=7. For example: in order to retrieve weekend days use the following [ 6, 7 ].
      - unknown
    - `distance` object — Filter visits by distance in miles from home <strong>or</strong> work<br/> where only visits in a given radius will be used in metrics calculation.
      - `from` 'home' | 'work' — The origin from where the distance will be measured.
      - `values` object — Object representation of the distance range<br/>lt - less than<br/>le - less than or equal to<br/>eq - equal to<br/>ge - greater than or equal to<br/>gt - greater than.
        - `le` number
        - `ge` number
        - `lt` number
        - `gt` number
        - `eq` number
  - `nearbyRadius` 100 | 250 | 500 | 750 | 1000 — The radius requested for nearby activity report generation.</br> <strong>Note</strong>: When a value is populated for this attribute - the report will be calculated as per the <<glossary:Nearby Activity report>> logic.

    - `average` integer — The average dwell time in the POI during the requested period
    - `median` integer — The median dwell time in the POI during the requested period
    - `nearbyRadius` 100 | 250 | 500 | 750 | 1000 — The radius requested for nearby activity report generation.</br> <strong>Note</strong>: When a value is populated for this attribute - the report will be calculated as per the <<glossary:Nearby Activity report>> logic.

    - `audienceType` string[] — The list of audiences that is specified in the request filter.
    - `dwellTime` object — The dwell time filter specified in the request, in case it was utilized.<br/> For example: “< 100” or “>= 10”
      - `operator` '<' | '>=' — Represents the operator used for defining the dwell time range for filtering the report data
      - `value` integer — Represents the number of minutes referred to when defining the dwell time range for filtering the report data
    - `hoursRange` object — The hours range that is specified in the request filter.
      - `fromHour` string — Start visits hour (Format HH:MM XM, for example: 08:00 am)
      - `toHour` string — End visitation hour (Format HH:MM XM, for example: 08:00 am)
    - `daysOfWeek` unknown[] — A list of days represented by integers (Monday=1, Sunday=7) as specified in the request filter, which was used in the report calculation.
