Time bucket granularity
Available options:
day, week, month Example:
"day"
Start date (inclusive)
Example:
"2025-01-01"
End date (inclusive)
Example:
"2025-01-31"
Filter by country codes
Example:
["BE", "FR"]
Filter by language codes
Example:
["en", "fr"]
Filter by AI models
Example:
["gpt-4o", "claude-3-5-sonnet"]
Filter by query IDs
Example:
["3fa85f64-5717-4562-b3fc-2c963f66afa6"]
Filter by source presence: "sources" (only with sources), "no_sources" (only without), "all" (no filter). Legacy true/false values are still accepted.
Available options:
all, sources, no_sources Filter by shopping presence: "shopping" (only with shopping), "no_shopping" (only without), "all" (no filter). Legacy true/false values are still accepted.
Available options:
all, shopping, no_shopping Filter by sponsored-ad presence: "ads" (only with ads), "no_ads" (only without), "all" (no filter). Legacy true/false values are still accepted.
Available options:
all, ads, no_ads Filter by query tag IDs (numeric — bigint column)
Example:
["42"]
Filter by execution tag IDs
Example:
["3fa85f64-5717-4562-b3fc-2c963f66afa6"]
Filter by query tag group IDs — matches rows carrying any tag filed under a selected group. Combines with queryTagIds per queryTagMode.
Example:
["3fa85f64-5717-4562-b3fc-2c963f66afa6"]
Filter by execution tag group IDs — matches rows carrying any tag filed under a selected group. Combines with execTagIds per execTagMode.
Example:
["3fa85f64-5717-4562-b3fc-2c963f66afa6"]
Filter by query type. Include "untyped" to also match queries without a type. Results from since-deleted queries are excluded when this filter is set.
Available options:
comparative, informative, perception, untyped Query tag matching mode: "or" matches ANY tag (default), "and" matches ALL tags.
Available options:
and, or Execution tag matching mode: "or" matches ANY tag (default), "and" matches ALL tags.
Available options:
and, or Deprecated and ignored. Date bounds and buckets are always UTC. Accepted for backward compatibility only.
Example:
"UTC"
Row grouping level for entity results. "none" = one row per entity, "division" = one row per division (entities not in a division get their own row), "group" = one row per top-level group (divisions roll up into their group). Defaults to "none".
Available options:
none, division, group Deprecated — use groupBy instead. true is equivalent to groupBy="group".
Example:
false
Include entities that have only ever been seen in a single AI response. These are mostly one-off extraction noise and are hidden by default.
Example:
false
