Api: GetHistoricalStats using daily periodType generates error

[danreynol]

If I make the call to GetHistoricalStats, with character id of 0, using the daily periodType parameter, I get the following error: An unexpected error has occurred on Bungie's servers while trying to grab Destiny information.

If I make the same call except for a specific character, it works. Is there something special I have to do to pull all characters data for a time range?

Thanks!

Oh, so in this situation you'll want to call GetHistoricalStatsForAccount rather than merely GetHistoricalStats. GetHistoricalStats only understands how to work with characters: so if you pass 0, it assumes this was the intended character ID which throws a fit because that character ID isn't valid. But if you call GetHistoricalStatsForAccount, it should return you the data you seek (historical info across characters)!

Thanks! I'll give that a shot.

No prob!

GetHistoricalStatsForAccount works great to pull back all characters data, but is there an option to specify a time range? I tried the same parameters defined in GetHistoricalStats, alas with no luck. Looks like groups is the only querystring param listed.

Ohhh - yeah, in that case GetHistoricalStatsForAccount won't help. Indeed, there aren't such aggregation options on an account-wide basis. If you need that, you'll have to query for each character separately.

Many thanks. I will go that route. I appreciate the super fast response!
