  "aggregates": "pageviews,uniques,visits",
  "date_grouping": "day",
  "date_from": "2023-08-01 00:00:00"
}

Performance of individual pages:

{
  "entity": "pageview",
  "entity_id": "SITE_ID",
  "aggregates": "pageviews,uniques,avg_duration",
  "field_grouping": "pathname",
  "sort_by": "pageviews:desc",
  "limit": 10
}

Traffic from specific countries:

{
  "entity": "pageview",
  "entity_id": "SITE_ID",
  "aggregates": "visits",
  "field_grouping": "country_code",
  "sort_by": "visits:desc"
}
