# Visits by Hours Report

`POST /v1/reports/visit-metrics/hours`

Retrieves visits for a given entity(venue/complex) broken by the hours of the day and its business opening hours.<br/> <br/>The response includes:<br/> <ul> <li>2 arrays: <ol> <li>Hour of the day bins: [0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23], where each represents an hour in the day. (e.g. 11 = 11 am - 12 pm)</li> <li>Estimated foot traffic array: Indicates the total visits for the POI during the selected date range for each of the hour bins (correlated to the location in the Hour of the day array)</li> </ol> </li> <li> Array of the business opening hours for each day of the week. </li> </ul> <br/> &#x23F1; <strong>Average measured processing time: 0.79 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

      - `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
