# Get aggregate outbound WhatsApp statistics

`GET /v1/whatsapp/stats/summary`

Returns one aggregate row for the requested period. It includes WhatsApp lifecycle counts, delivery and failure rates, and processing, delivery, and total latency percentiles (`p50`, `p95`, and `p99`). Rows use send-time attribution, so recent periods can under-report `delivered` while delivery reports arrive.

Rate fields are `null` when their denominator is zero. `from` and `to` must both be calendar days or RFC 3339 instants. Day windows cover up to 365 whole days. Instant bounds round down to the hour, remain inclusive, and may span up to 720 hours. Mixing the forms returns `422`. Set `timezone` for local boundaries.

Set one dimension filter at most; more than one returns `422`. Use `compare=previous_period` to include the preceding equal-length window and each metric's change.

## Query parameters

- `from` (string): Inclusive start of the window: a calendar day (YYYY-MM-DD) or an RFC 3339 instant rounded down to the hour. The `timezone` parameter makes a calendar day local and rounds an instant down to the local hour. Omit `timezone` to use UTC. When `timezone` is set, a numeric UTC offset such as `+05:45` is rejected; use a calendar day or a `Z` (UTC) instant. This value must use the same form as `to`. When omitted, it defaults to 30 days before `to` for day windows or 168 hours (7 days) before `to` for hour windows.
- `to` (string): Inclusive end of the window: a calendar day (YYYY-MM-DD) or an RFC 3339 instant rounded down to the hour. The `timezone` parameter makes a calendar day local and rounds an instant down to the local hour. Omit `timezone` to use UTC. When `timezone` is set, a numeric UTC offset is rejected; use a calendar day or a `Z` (UTC) instant. This value must use the same form as `from`. When omitted, it defaults to today for day windows or the current hour for hour windows in that timezone. Day windows may not exceed 365 days; hour windows may not exceed 720 hours (30 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.
- `template` (string): Restricts the statistics to one template, identified by its ID (`wat_…`) or slug. Mutually exclusive with the other dimension filters (`category`, `phone_number`, `tag`); only one may be set per request. An ID matches the `template_id` key on a row of the per-template breakdown; a slug is accepted for callers that predate that key and resolves to the same messages.
- `category` (string)

  Restrict the statistics to a single template category. Mutually exclusive with the other dimension filters (`template`, `phone_number`, `tag`); only one may be set per request. Matches the `category` key on a row of the per-category breakdown.

  Possible values (may grow over time): `authentication`, `utility`, `marketing`
- `phone_number` (string): Restrict the statistics to a single business sender phone number, in E.164 form. Mutually exclusive with the other dimension filters (`template`, `category`, `tag`); only one may be set per request. Matches the `phone_number` key on a row of the per-phone-number breakdown.
- `tag` (string): Restrict the statistics to a single tag. Use `name` to match any value of a tag, or `name:value` for a specific pair (for example `campaign:spring_launch`). Mutually exclusive with the other dimension filters (`template`, `category`, `phone_number`); only one may be set per request. A row of the per-tag breakdown carries the same pair in its single `tag` key.
- `compare` (string)

  Set to `previous_period` to also include the same statistics for the immediately preceding window of equal length, plus the change between the two, so you can show "+X% vs last period" without a second request. The comparison window carries any dimension filter set on the request, so a filtered comparison compares like with like.

  Possible values: `previous_period`

## Response body

- `period` (object, required): The window 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 of the window, as a calendar day (`YYYY-MM-DD`) or an RFC 3339 hour boundary.
- `period.to` (string, required): Inclusive end of the window, as a calendar day (`YYYY-MM-DD`) or an RFC 3339 hour boundary.
- `period.data_as_of` (nullable string): Latest time reflected in the statistics. More recent events might not be included yet. Null when the freshness boundary is unavailable.
- `delivery` (object, required)
- `delivery.accepted` (integer, required): Distinct messages accepted for sending after admission checks. This is the denominator for `delivery_rate` and `failure_rate`.
- `delivery.sent` (integer, required): Distinct messages handed off for delivery.
- `delivery.delivered` (integer, required): Distinct messages confirmed delivered to the recipient's device.
- `delivery.failed` (integer, required): Distinct messages that failed during sending or delivery.
- `delivery.rejected` (integer, required): Distinct messages rejected before any send attempt, because the recipient is on the workspace's suppression list, no reachable recipient was given, the destination has no price, or the wallet could not fund the send. Rejected messages are never charged and are not counted in `accepted`, so the total addressed is `accepted + rejected`. Excluded from `failure_rate`, which covers send failures only.
- `delivery.delivery_rate` (nullable number, required): Share of accepted messages that were delivered, computed as `delivered / accepted`. Null when no messages were accepted in scope.
- `delivery.failure_rate` (nullable number, required): Share of accepted messages that ultimately failed, computed as `failed / accepted`. Null when no messages were accepted in scope.
- `engagement` (object, required)
- `engagement.read` (integer, required): Distinct messages confirmed read by the recipient.
- `engagement.read_rate` (nullable number, required): Distinct messages read relative to messages delivered in the same scope, computed as `read / delivery.delivered`. Both counts are attributed by send time, so a read is counted alongside its own message's delivery. The rate can exceed 1 where a read receipt arrived for a message whose delivery receipt did not, or, at high volume, because the counts are close estimates. Null when `delivery.delivered` is zero.
- `latency` (object, required)
