Content Insights Using REST API

Learn how to review the Content Insights report for migration jobs using the DryvIQ REST API.


Overview

The Migrate Content Insight report provides a breakdown of the data for the job, including a file size breakdown that helps understand transfer performance. In addition to a summary of the size and file type breakdowns, the screen identifies the count for different file extensions, folder depth groupings, and modified date groupings. Where applicable, DryvIQ will use the content modified date when supported by a given platform. This ensures accurate modified date timestamps when viewing the Content Insights charts.

File Type Breakdown

View a breakdown of the content grouped into five content categories.    

GET {{url}}v1/transfers/{{job}}/stats/by_content_category

File Attributes Breakdown

Each chart is divided into the top five buckets, with the remaining items captured in the "other" or "older" bucket. To return the information in the corresponding charts, use the following requests.

Extensions Chart

GET {{url}}v1/transfers/{{job}}/stats/by_ext

Modified Date Chart

GET {{url}}v1/transfers/{{job}}/stats/by_age

Folder Depth Chart

GET {{url}}v1/transfers/{{job}}/stats/by_depth

File Version Count Chart

GET {{url}}v1/transfers/{{job}}/stats/by_versions
