Roku Developer Program

Hello everyone,

I was wondering if, once you submit your channel to the public market, you are able to track the total number of channel installs. If not, I was thinking of appending a device ID to the user agent in HTTP requests to my API and then checking the number of uniques. Is there a way to programmatically access a unique device id?

Also, if anyone has any advice on interfacing with the Google Analytics API that would be awesome. I'm looking at info on building a pageview request from the roku but I'm having trouble finding just plain definitions for the params that need to be passed in.

Thanks Rokuland!

The install count can be tracked from the channel page on the website. If you want more statistics than that, you'll probably need to track them yourself. You can get the unique device ID via the roDeviceInfo component.

Nice, I didn't realize I could see how many installs we have.
Is there a way to see ratings as well? When I go to my channel on my Roku, I only see my rating - which is of course 5 stars 😉

If you delete the channel, you will see the rating. That is the only way I am aware of after you rate the channel.
