​
Waves

The legacy V1 API was designed at the time when GWI was offering only 1 syndicated study: GWI Core. Because of that V1 API Waves endpoint returns all waves that an API user has access to.

However, now GWI offers several syndicated studies and also custom studies. That’s why the V2 API Waves endpoint is based on namespaces.

In general each namespace can have its own unique set of waves. That’s why the V2 API Waves endpoint request contains a list of namespaces an API user wants to receive waves for. In case the list of namespaces in the request filter is empty, all combinations of namespaces and waves will be returned.

For detailed information refer to the v2 Waves Filter section.

​
Locations

The legacy V1 API was designed at the time when GWI was offering only 1 syndicated study: GWI Core. Because of that V1 API Locations endpoint returns all locations that an API user has access to.

However, now GWI offers several syndicated studies and also custom studies. That’s why the V2 API Locations endpoint is based on namespaces and waves.

In general each namespace and wave couple can have its own unique set of locations. That’s why the V2 API Locations endpoint request contains a list of namespace(s) and wave(s) an API user wants to receive locations for. Both the list of waves and list of namespaces are optional parameters. In case the list of waves is empty, all waves and locations combinations will be returned for the provided list of namespaces. In case both the list of namespaces and waves are empty, all combinations of namespaces, waves and locations will be returned.

For detailed information refer to the v2 Locations Filter section.

Multipliers a.k.a. Splitters

V1 API multipliers are renamed to splitters in V2 API.

The legacy V1 API was designed at the time when GWI was offering only 1 syndicated study: GWI Core. Because of that V1 API Multipliers endpoint returns all multipliers that an API user has access to.

However, now GWI offers several syndicated studies and also custom studies. That’s why the V2 API Splitters endpoint is based on namespaces.

In general each namespace can have its own unique set of splitters. That’s why the V2 API Splitters endpoint request contains a list of namespaces an API user wants to receive splitters for. In case the list of namespaces is empty, all combinations of namespaces and splitters will be returned.
