Groupings
Groupings are properties of website visits and tracked events that can be used to arrange data, for example, OS or device type applied by website visitors, as well as their location. In requests to HTTP Report API, the groupings are set in the group parameter.
Let's have a look at a report on website visitors in terms of device types:
Device type |
Visitors |
---|---|
Desktop |
790 |
Mobile |
862 |
Tablet |
236 |
Device type is used as a grouping here. It is a visit property used to combine data. Visitors is a metric calculated on the basis of the website visits.
All groupings are divided into several categories by data type:
Audience #
Grouping |
Type |
Description |
---|---|---|
country # |
integer |
Visitor's country in the form of a two-digit ID (ISO 3166-1). |
region # |
integer |
Visitor's region in the form of a two-digit alphanumeric ID.
For example, CA stands for the U.S. state of California.
The full list of IDs is available in file . When searching by region, make sure to specify a country as well (the country parameter) since different countries may have similar region IDs. |
city # |
integer |
Visitor's city should be specified in full, for example, Dallas, Moscow. |
language # |
integer |
Visitor's language in the form of a two-digit ID (ISO 639-1), for example:
|
user_agent # |
string |
Visitor's full user-agent name.

ua_bot_name # |
string |
Bot name.
This grouping allows you to combine traffic data from various automated agents, like search bots (Googlebot, YandexBot, etc.). |
ua_bot_version # |
string |
Bot version, for example, 2.0.
Using this grouping with ua_bot_name, you can request data for a specific version of a search bot, for example, Gogglebot 2.1. |
ua_client # |

This grouping is more detailed compared to ua_client. For example, when ua_client=other (this category features less popular applications), ua_client_name may indicate "QQbrowser".
You can find possible values in the Audience\Platforms website report of the Finteza panel. They are available in the Application section. |

Traffic source and primary source
Sources and primary sources of traffic are different concepts in Finteza:
- A source is a web page or a resource a user was located at just before making a request to your website (before sending the track to Finteza). request_*, utm_* and affiliate_s* groupings are provided for it.
- A primary source is a web page or a resource, from which a user originally visited your website. source_*, source_utm* and source_s* groupings are provided for it.
For example, a user comes to your website from a search engine. During the initial visit, a source and primary source are the same. Next, the user goes to another website section and an event with the appropriate attributes is sent to Finteza: now, your website is considered a source (internal transition), while the search engine remains the primary source.
When grouping by source type, this will look as follows:
- The initial visit via the search engine: request_source_type=3 and source_type=3. The search engine is specified in both traffic source parameters.
- Subsequent transitions within the website: request_source_type=5 and source_type=3. A new request_source_type (an actual type of the page a user came from) is specified in each subsequent request. source_type remains unchanged for it for a certain period of time. This allows tracking the actual traffic source.
Work with utm_* and source_utm_* is conducted in a similar way. The former ones feature labels from the link used for the transition. The latter ones set the labels, with which the user originally came to the website.
Besides, there are separate sets of groupings for internal transition labels – internal_utm_*. They feature labels from links located on your website.
