# How to Get Publishing Statistics from the Arc XP APIs

Source: https://docs.arcxp.com/en/products/publishing-platform/how-to-get-publishing-statistics-from-the-arc-xp-apis.html

## Summary

Both Content API and WebSked API are able to provide publishing statistics. 

WebSked and Content API use different data stores and count publishes differently, as a result queries to each API for similar data may provide slightly different results. Refer to [WebSked](https://dev.arcxp.com/api/websked/websked-api/) and [Content API ](https://dev.arcxp.com/api/public-content-retrieval/content-api/)documentation for more information.

## Procedure

**Content API**

Content API is able to return story counts using the /scan endpoint. The /scan endpoint will accept any Elastic Search (ES) query and will return a count of matching documents.

Example scanning for stories with a range of dates:

```
GET https://api.{org}.arcpublishing.com/content/v4/scan?website={website_name}&q=type:story+AND+publish_date:[YYYY-MM-DD+TO+YYYY-MM-DD]+AND+canonical_website:{website_name}&_sourceInclude=publish_date,headlines.basic&size=5
```

**WebSked API**

WebSked API is able to return story counts and other publishing and pitch statistics relevant to WebSked.

For example, the following call will return a story count for a time range. The WebSked API received time inputs in epoch time.

```
https://api.{org}.arcpublishing.com/websked/stats/storyCount?startTime=[time in epoch]&endTime=[time in epoch]&interval=day&offset=%2B1h
```
