View and download statistics are currently "all time" due to limitations of the DSpace Statistics API. We should explore the possibility of enabling a "reporting period". The current version of the API supports date ranges so we can now limit statistics to a date range by POSTing community, collection, or item IDs and date parameters.
For example, if you send this request:
{
"limit": 100,
"page": 0,
"dateFrom": "2020-01-01T00:00:00Z",
"dateTo": "2020-11-18T00:00:00Z",
"items": [
"926ffacd-1916-4366-a420-a966c195295f",
"e8c64069-78ba-4472-b5b2-72d705f04ca7",
"e9ac05b8-3270-4e2f-83fb-45e3c65e0c9c",
"326c00a4-977e-4d32-968a-c372b18bf8c0"
]
}The API will respond:
{
"currentPage" : 0,
"limit" : 100,
"statistics" : [
{
"downloads" : 0,
"id" : "e9ac05b8-3270-4e2f-83fb-45e3c65e0c9c",
"views" : 420
},
{
"downloads" : 0,
"id" : "e8c64069-78ba-4472-b5b2-72d705f04ca7",
"views" : 37
},
{
"downloads" : 0,
"id" : "326c00a4-977e-4d32-968a-c372b18bf8c0",
"views" : 10
},
{
"downloads" : 9,
"id" : "926ffacd-1916-4366-a420-a966c195295f",
"views" : 4
}
],
"totalPages" : 0
}The problem is that this is only feasible for hundreds or thousands of items, but not the entire repository. We could enable it as an option when generating a report perhaps, rather than for the entire AReS Explorer UI. See the Swagger API docs.
