See Matomo API documentation on VisitsSummary.get to get more information on period and day. Multiple data arrays will be cumulated. If you fill the title attribute, its content will be shown in the table’s title. [wp-piwik module="opt-out" language="en" width="100%" height="200px"] Shows the Matomo opt-out Iframe. You can change the Iframe’s language by the language attribute (e.g. de for German language) and its width and height using the corresponding attributes.

You can define a range (format: lastN, previousN or YYYY-MM-DD,YYYY-MM-DD) and the desired value’s key (e.g., sum_daily_nb_uniq_visitors, nb_visits or nb_hits – for details see Matomo’s API method Actions.getPageUrl using a range).
