Returns how often the domain's mail is reported as spam by Gmail recipients, as Google Postmaster measures it: the rate for the period and a time series for charting.

This is Google's number for Gmail-received mail only. The feedback-loop complaint rate across all providers is a Bird-measured figure served by the email statistics endpoints; the two count different mail and are rendered as separate lines, never combined. For a domain without a completed Google Postmaster connection, sections report not_configured with a setup path, not an error.

API-key calls require Insights preview access for your organization.

Paramètres de requête

sending_domainstring

The sending domain to report on: one of the workspace's verified sending domains, exactly as it appears there. A domain that is not verified in this workspace answers not-found.

fromstring

First UTC day of the period, inclusive, in YYYY-MM-DD: the same window convention as the email statistics endpoints. Defaults to 30 days before to.

It may be at most 30 days before to, which is also the default, so a request naming neither date is already at the limit. Asking for more answers 422: the page pairs these figures with Bird's own per-provider sending statistics, and those are kept for 30 days, so a longer period could only describe two different spans side by side.

tostring

Last UTC day of the period, inclusive, in YYYY-MM-DD. Defaults to today.

group_bystring

Bucket size for the series. Defaults to day.

Possible values: day, week, month

comparestring

Include the prior equal-length period, populating compared_to and the rate's delta.

Possible values: previous_period

Contenu de la réponse

resource
string
obligatoire

Which resource this response is, echoed for self-description.

domain
string
obligatoire

The sending domain the figures describe.

measurement
object

How the figures were measured. Present only where a figure was weighted or drawn from a named set of sources, which today means placement and the industry benchmark. Absent on the reputation resources and on a live lookup, neither of which weights anything.

Afficher les attributs enfants
measurement.sources
array of string
obligatoire

Identifiers of the measurement systems that contributed to these figures. The set grows as measurement coverage does, so treat the values as labels rather than a closed list.

measurement.weighting
object

How the figures were weighted. Present on figures weighted against an audience mix, which is placement's method; measurements that weight nothing carry no weighting block.

Afficher les attributs enfants
generated_at
string
obligatoire

When these figures were computed. The measurement service's own stamp where it publishes one; on the resources Bird derives from daily rates it has none to publish, and this is when Bird computed them.

freshness
object
obligatoire

How current the figures are. Freshness differs per resource (authentication data can lag a day or more while blocklist lookups are near real time), so any "as of" label binds from this field, never from a fixed string.

Afficher les attributs enfants
cached_at
string

Present when the response was served from a short-lived copy rather than fetched for this request: when that copy was fetched.

window
object
obligatoire

The period every figure in the response covers: whole UTC calendar days, inclusive on both ends. The same window convention the email statistics endpoints use, so figures from the two sources describe the same days and can be combined without adjustment.

Afficher les attributs enfants
compared_to
object

The prior equal-length period the delta figures compare against. Present only when the request asked for a comparison.

Afficher les attributs enfants
rate
object
obligatoire

The rate at which the domain's mail is reported as spam, as Google Postmaster measures it.

Afficher les attributs enfants
series
object
obligatoire

The complaint-rate series, at the grain named in window.group_by. Index by date, never by position.
