Research: How to look up traffic for a group of URLs in Plausible

[brandonhundt]

I've gotten a few request recently to look up traffic across a category. We don't include category tracking with Plausible because we don't want to be charged 10x for pageviews. Therefore, we need to consider other solutions to look up occassional requests for groups of stories.

We could consider the Plausible BigQuery connector so we may be able to set up specific dashboards as needed. Or we can learn more about how to leverage Plausible's API.

Original request from Carolyn:

I have another data question for you, one I'm hoping might (?) be easier to do. Would it be possible to pull the top 10 (most read) stories and bottom 10 (least read) Big Fix stories? We are planning to re-launch this series (which has been on a long hiatus) and are looking for a little data on web successes and failures.

Note: Keep an eye on Plausible's Custom Dimensions ticket. Sounds like they are close: plausible/analytics#320 (reply in thread)
