API sounded scary? Never again.
Did you know you could use Adobe Analytics API to do almost everything that you do on the UI and other import/export functionalities?
(Hint: You do not need to know programming to start using the APIs.)
Try the Adobe Analytics API Explorer today:

Please see the really simple tool-tip instructions and you should be all set. (Basically, you need to be sure what Data Center holds your data.)
Once you think you are on the right path and are getting the right response, go talk to someone who can incorporate this experiment of yours into a production-ready script in whatever language they are comfortable with.

Hi Deepak, thanks for pointing to this. It is really simple. One question I have is does this consume API tokens? I think it is not. I tried simple queries to find the number of available tokens and it does not change after a few API calls. May be the system does not update token count in realtime?

Are you talking about the 90,000ish number when you query how many tokens to go? Then no, nobody consumes those tokens 🙂 anymore. You do not have a limit on the number of calls you can make.
I believe the API still responds to token-count queries for backward compatibility. What if you relied on some process that said -#### if(token_count>0){do something}####?
That doesn’t mean someone can try to “abuse” the server and still not get throttled.

Hi, the Analytics report suite manager’s Traffic Overview report shows only page view-based server calls.
I am wondering if there is any easy way to get a report that gets overall server-call usage – not just page views – so that they can examine ad-hoc/on-the-fly.
Can it be done via the Analytics API?
DRK
I don’t think there is a way for users to grab that using the API. Did you try for an official answer from Adobe? May be Client Care?
