# Get statistics by mailbox provider region

`GET /v1/email/stats/mailbox-provider-regions`

Returns delivery, engagement, and deliverability counts for the requested period, grouped by mailbox provider and provider region pair, for example `gmail` in `NA` or `microsoft` in `EU`. The provider region is the regional grouping the receiving mail system reports for the recipient's provider. Pairing it with the provider tells apart a region label that several providers share. Use it to spot a deliverability problem isolated to one provider in one region. For a per-provider view without the region split, use the mailbox-provider breakdown.

A provider region is only known once the receiving mail system reports an outcome, so this breakdown covers the delivery stage onward. Accepted, processed, and rejected counts and processing latency are not included. Rows are computed against event time rather than send time.

Rows are ranked by the `sort` metric, `delivered` by default, and paginated with the requested `limit` (50 by default, 200 at most). The window can span at most 365 days. Ask for more and you get a `422`.

## Query parameters

- `starting_after` (string): Cursor from the `next_cursor` field of a previous list response. Returns items immediately after the cursor position in the current sort order.
- `ending_before` (string): Cursor from the `prev_cursor` or `refresh_cursor` field of a previous list response. Returns items immediately before the cursor position in the current sort order. `prev_cursor` returns the preceding page. `refresh_cursor` anchors at the first row of that response, which on a newest-first sort is how to fetch the items that have appeared since.
- `from` (string): Start date (inclusive) in `YYYY-MM-DD`, interpreted as a calendar day in `timezone` (a UTC day when `timezone` is omitted). It defaults to 30 days before `to` when you leave it out. When `include_trend=true` and `trend_grain=hourly`, that default tightens to 29 days before `to` instead, so the defaulted window still fits inside the 720-hour trend cap.
- `to` (string): End date (inclusive) in `YYYY-MM-DD`, interpreted as a calendar day in `timezone` (a UTC day when `timezone` is omitted). Defaults to today in that timezone when omitted. Window may not exceed 365 days.
- `timezone` (string): IANA timezone identifier used to group statistics, for example `Asia/Kathmandu`. The default is UTC. Day and hour boundaries, including the default window when `from` and `to` are omitted, follow this timezone. When this parameter is set, pass `from` and `to` as calendar days or `Z` instants instead of timestamps with explicit UTC offsets.
- `category` (string): Not supported on breakdown endpoints. Supplying it returns `422`. To compare categories, use `GET /v1/email/stats/categories`. The summary, daily, and hourly statistics accept `category` as a filter.
- `sort` (string)

  Metric to rank rows by, applied descending. Any count or rate in the response can be used. A row whose rate is undefined because its denominator is zero sorts last. It defaults to `delivered`. `processed`, `rejected`, and `oob_bounces` are not part of this breakdown's rows, so they are not sortable here.

  Possible values: `delivered`, `bounced`, `complained`, `deferred`, `bounces.hard`, `bounces.soft`, `bounces.admin`, `bounces.block`, `bounces.undetermined`, `opens`, `opens_non_prefetched`, `unique_opens`, `unique_opens_non_prefetched`, `clicks`, `unique_clicks`, `unsubscribes`, `delivery_rate`, `bounce_rate`, `complaint_rate`, `open_rate`, `click_rate`, `unsubscribe_rate`, `bounces.hard_rate`, `bounces.soft_rate`, `bounces.admin_rate`, `bounces.block_rate`, `bounces.undetermined_rate`
- `limit` (integer): Maximum number of provider-region rows to return, ranked by the `sort` field descending.
- `include_trend` (boolean): When true, each row also gets a `trend` array: a short per-bucket series showing that provider region's delivery and engagement rates over the window. This only works when `limit` is 50 or fewer and the window is at most 90 days for `trend_grain=daily` or 720 hours for `trend_grain=hourly`. Ask for more and you get a `422`. When you leave `from` out and use `trend_grain=hourly`, the default window tightens to 29 days before `to` (720 hours total), so a request built entirely from defaults always fits inside the cap.
- `trend_grain` (string)

  Bucket grain for the `trend` series. Has no effect unless `include_trend=true`.

  Possible values: `daily`, `hourly`

## Response body

- `period` (object, required): The date range the response covers (echoed back from the request), plus `data_as_of`, the freshness boundary the data is current to.
- `period.from` (string, required): Inclusive start date the response covers (YYYY-MM-DD).
- `period.to` (string, required): Inclusive end date the response covers (YYYY-MM-DD).
- `period.data_as_of` (nullable string): The instant the statistics in this response are current to: events recorded up to roughly this time are reflected, while more recent events may not be yet. Statistics are served from a rolling aggregation that refreshes every few seconds, so a response reflects data from up to a few seconds ago. Use this field to label data freshness (for example "as of 14:03") rather than assuming the numbers are to-the-second. Null when the freshness boundary is not being reported.
- `data` (array of object, required): Provider-region breakdown rows, ranked by the `sort` metric (default `delivered`) descending. Empty when no deliveries occurred in the period.
- `data.mailbox_provider` (string, required): The recipient mailbox provider this row aggregates, as a lowercase classifier such as `gmail`, `yahoo`, `microsoft`, or `apple`.
- `data.mailbox_provider_region` (string, required): The provider region this row aggregates, as reported by the receiving mail system (for example `NA`, `EU`, `APAC`). The set is open and provider-specific.
- `data.delivery` (object, required)
- `data.delivery.delivered` (integer, required): Distinct recipients whose message the receiving mail server accepted.
- `data.delivery.bounced` (integer, required): Distinct recipients whose delivery failed. Approximately the sum of the five `bounces.*` sub-counts (hard, soft, admin, block, undetermined); the totals are computed independently so they may differ slightly at the approximation error.
- `data.delivery.complained` (integer, required): Distinct recipients who reported the message as spam.
- `data.delivery.deferred` (integer, required): Distinct recipients in transient delivery deferral that is still being retried.
- `data.delivery.bounces` (object, required)
- `data.delivery.bounces.hard` (integer, required): Distinct recipients with a permanent delivery failure (invalid address or non-existent domain).
- `data.delivery.bounces.soft` (integer, required): Distinct recipients with a transient delivery failure (mailbox full or server temporarily unavailable).
- `data.delivery.bounces.admin` (integer, required): Distinct recipients refused by a policy at the receiving end, such as relaying denied or a blocklisted domain.
- `data.delivery.bounces.block` (integer, required): Distinct recipients bounced because the receiving mail server blocked the sending IP for reputation reasons.
- `data.delivery.bounces.undetermined` (integer, required): Distinct recipients bounced where the receiving server's response did not allow precise classification.
- `data.delivery.bounces.hard_rate` (nullable number, required): Fraction of bounced recipients that hard bounced, computed as `hard / bounced`. Null when `bounced` is zero.
- `data.delivery.bounces.soft_rate` (nullable number, required): Fraction of bounced recipients that soft bounced, computed as `soft / bounced`. Null when `bounced` is zero.
- `data.delivery.bounces.admin_rate` (nullable number, required): Fraction of bounced recipients that admin bounced, computed as `admin / bounced`. Null when `bounced` is zero.
- `data.delivery.bounces.block_rate` (nullable number, required): Fraction of bounced recipients that block bounced, computed as `block / bounced`. Null when `bounced` is zero.
- `data.delivery.bounces.undetermined_rate` (nullable number, required): Fraction of bounced recipients with undetermined classification, computed as `undetermined / bounced`. Null when `bounced` is zero.
- `data.delivery.delivery_rate` (nullable number, required): Share of attempted recipients on this mailbox provider that were delivered, computed as `delivered / (delivered + bounced)`. Null when `delivered + bounced` is zero (no attempts).
- `data.delivery.bounce_rate` (nullable number, required): Share of attempted recipients on this mailbox provider that bounced, computed as `bounced / (delivered + bounced)`. Null when `delivered + bounced` is zero (no attempts).
- `data.delivery.complaint_rate` (nullable number, required): Share of delivered recipients on this mailbox provider who reported the message as spam, computed as `complained / delivered`. Null when `delivered` is zero.
- `data.engagement` (object, required)
- `data.engagement.opens` (integer, required): Distinct open events, counting repeat opens from the same recipient and opens auto-fetched by inbox privacy features (such as Apple Mail Privacy Protection and the Gmail image proxy).
- `data.engagement.opens_non_prefetched` (integer, required): Distinct open events excluding those auto-fetched by inbox privacy features. Same event-counting semantics as `opens` (repeat opens from the same recipient count separately), with prefetched opens removed.
- `data.engagement.unique_opens` (integer, required): Distinct recipients who opened at least once, including opens auto-fetched by inbox privacy features.
- `data.engagement.unique_opens_non_prefetched` (integer, required): Distinct recipients who opened at least once, excluding opens auto-fetched by inbox privacy features. This is the numerator used for open rate, so iOS-heavy audiences (Apple Mail Privacy Protection and similar) do not inflate it.
- `data.engagement.clicks` (integer, required): Distinct click events, counting repeat clicks from the same recipient.
- `data.engagement.unique_clicks` (integer, required): Distinct recipients who clicked at least once.
- `data.engagement.unsubscribes` (integer, required): Distinct unsubscribe events, recorded via the list-unsubscribe header or the footer link.
- `data.engagement.open_rate` (nullable number, required): Distinct non-prefetched openers relative to effectively delivered recipients in the same scope, computed as `unique_opens_non_prefetched / delivery.effective_delivered`; on rows without an `effective_delivered` field (the mailbox-provider breakdowns) the denominator equals `delivery.delivered`. The numerator excludes opens auto-fetched by inbox privacy features. Opens are attributed by event time, so engagement earned by earlier deliveries can push the rate above 1. Null when the denominator is zero.
- `data.engagement.click_rate` (nullable number, required): Distinct clickers relative to effectively delivered recipients in the same scope, computed as `unique_clicks / delivery.effective_delivered` (`delivery.delivered` on rows without an `effective_delivered` field). Clicks are attributed by event time, so engagement earned by earlier deliveries can push the rate above 1. Null when the denominator is zero.
- `data.engagement.unsubscribe_rate` (nullable number, required): Unsubscribe events relative to effectively delivered recipients in the same scope, computed as `unsubscribes / delivery.effective_delivered` (`delivery.delivered` on rows without an `effective_delivered` field). Unsubscribes are attributed by event time, so the rate can exceed 1. Null when the denominator is zero.
- `data.latency` (object, required)
- `data.latency.delivery` (object, required): Approximate p50, p95, and p99 latency percentiles in milliseconds for one latency family over the bucket. All three are null when no qualifying event contributed a measurement.
- `data.latency.delivery.p50_ms` (nullable integer, required): Median (50th percentile) latency in milliseconds. Null when no qualifying event contributed a measurement.
- `data.latency.delivery.p95_ms` (nullable integer, required): 95th percentile latency in milliseconds. Null when no qualifying event contributed a measurement.
- `data.latency.delivery.p99_ms` (nullable integer, required): 99th percentile latency in milliseconds. Null when no qualifying event contributed a measurement.
- `data.latency.total` (object, required): Approximate p50, p95, and p99 latency percentiles in milliseconds for one latency family over the bucket. All three are null when no qualifying event contributed a measurement.
- `data.latency.total.p50_ms` (nullable integer, required): Median (50th percentile) latency in milliseconds. Null when no qualifying event contributed a measurement.
- `data.latency.total.p95_ms` (nullable integer, required): 95th percentile latency in milliseconds. Null when no qualifying event contributed a measurement.
- `data.latency.total.p99_ms` (nullable integer, required): 99th percentile latency in milliseconds. Null when no qualifying event contributed a measurement.
- `data.trend` (array of object): Per-bucket rate series for this provider region over the window. Present only when `include_trend=true`.
- `data.trend.bucket` (string, required): The day (YYYY-MM-DD) or hour (ISO 8601, on the hour) this point covers, matching the requested `trend_grain`.
- `data.trend.delivered` (integer, required): Delivered recipients in this bucket.
- `data.trend.bounced` (integer, required): Bounced recipients in this bucket.
- `data.trend.delivery_rate` (nullable number, required): Delivery rate for this bucket, as a fraction. Null when nothing was delivered or bounced.
- `data.trend.bounce_rate` (nullable number, required): Bounce rate for this bucket, as a fraction. Null when nothing was delivered or bounced.
- `data.trend.complaint_rate` (nullable number, required): Complaint rate for this bucket, as a fraction. Event-time attribution can push it above 1 when complaints outrun the bucket's deliveries. Null when nothing was delivered in the bucket. On a sending-IP row complaints are not attributed to the IP, so this reads 0 in buckets that had deliveries and null in buckets that had none.
- `data.trend.open_rate` (nullable number, required): Open rate for this bucket, as a fraction. Event-time attribution can push it above 1 when opens outrun the bucket's deliveries. Null when nothing was delivered in the bucket. On a sending-IP row engagement is not attributed to the IP, so this reads 0 in buckets that had deliveries and null in buckets that had none.
- `data.trend.click_rate` (nullable number, required): Click rate for this bucket, as a fraction. Event-time attribution can push it above 1 when clicks outrun the bucket's deliveries. Null when nothing was delivered in the bucket. On a sending-IP row engagement is not attributed to the IP, so this reads 0 in buckets that had deliveries and null in buckets that had none.
- `total` (integer, required): Total number of distinct mailbox provider and region pairs with activity in the period, regardless of `limit`. Pass `next_cursor` as `starting_after` to request the next page.
- `next_cursor` (nullable string, required): Cursor for the next page. Pass back as `starting_after` to advance forward. `null` when no next page exists.
- `prev_cursor` (nullable string, required): Cursor for the previous page. Pass back as `ending_before` to step backward. `null` when no previous page exists.
- `refresh_cursor` (nullable string, required): Refresh anchor, the first row of this response. Pass back as `ending_before` to fetch what precedes it in the current sort order. On a newest-first sort those are the items that have appeared since; on any other sort they are the items that sort earlier, so refreshing such a list means re-fetching it instead. Non-`null` whenever `data` is non-empty; `null` only on an empty page. Distinct from `prev_cursor`.
