Refunds by country and currency

How to use the Metrics API to get the total number of refunds of your organization, grouped by the different countries and currencies

The problem

You want to get the total number of refunds associated with your orders over a selected date and time range, grouped by the different countries your organization sells in. For each country, you also want to group the results by currency.

The solution

Query

You need to perform a breakdown query setting the required query keys as follows and adding the optional ones based on your needs:

KeyValue

by

order.country_code

field

refunds.id

operator

value_count

You also need to add a nested breakdown setting the related query keys as follows:

KeyValue

by

order.currency_code

field

refunds.id

operator

value_count

Filter

Make sure to set the desired date and time range using the date_from and date_to keys in the filter.

In the example below, since the date_field isn't specified in the date filter, the default value current_date will be used, meaning that the results will count all the orders that changed their status within the selected date and time range (read more about this).

Example

The following request uses the Metrics API to get the total number of refunds, grouped by country and currency:

 curl -g -X POST \
  'https://{{your_domain}}.commercelayer.io/metrics/orders/breakdown' \
  -H 'Accept: application/vnd.api.v1+json' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/vnd.api+json' \
  -H 'Authorization: Bearer {{your_access_token}}' \
  -d '{
    "breakdown": {
      "by": "order.country_code",
      "field": "refunds.id",
      "operator": "value_count",
      "sort": "desc",
      "limit": 20,
      "breakdown": {
        "by": "order.currency_code",
        "field": "refunds.id",
        "operator": "value_count",
        "sort": "desc",
        "limit": 20
      }
    },
    "filter": {
      "order": {
        "date_from": "2021-01-01T00:00:00Z",
        "date_to": "2021-12-31T23:59:00Z"
      }
    }
  }'

Similar cases

Just changing a couple of query keys and/or filter parameters you can address lots of very similar use cases, such as:
