Playback Statistics

The playback statistics function of VOD allows you to query the number of playback times and ranking (by playback times) of media files by domain name.

Notes

  • You can query data about the most requested content of the current day only after 12:00 (Beijing time) of the next day.
  • The most requested content is collected based on the number of requests for CDN. The number of requests may be greater than the number of playback times. Therefore, the most requested content may be different from the most played content.
  • The following constraints apply to playback statistics:
    • For HLS files, requests for M3U8 files are counted as playbacks, whereas requests for TS segments are not.
    • For other files, such as MP4 files, requests containing a range with a non-zero start value are not counted as playbacks, whereas other requests are.

About Query

  • You can query data of the past month from yesterday or earlier.
  • You can query the top 100 play time and traffic under all domain names or a single domain name.
