Request

To compute aggregate statistics for one or more Variables, make a POST request to the following URL:

HTTP Method	URL
POST	`https://industrial.api.ubidots.com/api/v2.0/data/statistics/`

Body Parameters

Parameter	Type	Required?	Description
start	Integer	Yes	Start of the time range as a timestamp in milliseconds (epoch)
end	Integer	Yes	End of the time range as a timestamp in milliseconds (epoch). Must be greater than or equal to `start`
decimalPlaces	Integer	No	Number of decimal places for values (0–16). Defaults to the account setting
variables	Object Array	Yes	List of variable references to query. Minimum 1 item. See Variables Array
aggregations	String Array	No	Which statistics to compute. Defaults to all 11 types. See Aggregation Types below

Aggregation Types

Each aggregation computes a statistic over the data points in the requested time range. If the aggregations field is omitted, all 11 types are returned.

Aggregations that identify a specific data point (first, last, min, max) include a timestamp alongside the value. All others return only a value.

Aggregation	Description
first	First value in range (with timestamp)
last	Last value in range (with timestamp)
min	Minimum value (with timestamp)
max	Maximum value (with timestamp)
count	Number of data points
sum	Sum of values
mean	Average
std	Standard deviation
p25	25th percentile (approximate)
p50	Median (approximate)
p75	75th percentile (approximate)

Header

Parameter	Required?	Description
X-Auth-Token	Yes	Authentication Token of account

Response

Returns an object with start, end, and results. Each item in results corresponds to one requested variable and contains its own code, allowing a single request to partially succeed.

Successful entry fields:

Field	Description
device	Object with `url`, `id`, `label`, `name`, and `createdAt` of the Device
variable	Object with `url`, `id`, `label`, `name`, and `createdAt` of the Variable
code	`200` on success
results	Object with one key per requested aggregation. Empty object `{}` if no data exists in the range

Aggregation result format:

Aggregations with a specific data point (first, last, min, max) return {"value": ..., "timestamp": ...}
All other aggregations (count, sum, mean, std, p25, p50, p75) return {"value": ...}

Error entries (per variable):

Code	Cause
404	Variable or Device not found, or no permissions
