    hroppanen,

     

    We had a similar requirement in two of our communities. We were able to achieve this by using bulk data API. However, you need to store this data in order to generate these type of metrics (and much more!). This is a time-taking solution but worth trying if there are many other metrics you would like to see for your community that Lithium does not provide using the normal API calls.

    Here is the documentation link around Bulk data API.

     

    Hope this helps!

Hi hroppanen

there isn't a way that I am aware of to select a subset of a certain metric based on a time period. I think srujanayeruvaka's suggestion is the recommended approach.

Thanks,

    Thanks for all the comments and specially srujanayeruvaka for the solution! Bulk API way might be too much for this things but anyway it is good to know. Cheers!
