Design Considerations

No Aggregates

Limitations around native data aggregation in the Monospace API.

Monospace does not support aggregate functions (e.g., COUNT, SUM, AVG, MIN, MAX) in the data query API.

The Constraint

Aggregate and group-by parameters are accepted by the API query parser but are silently ignored. You cannot natively group or summarize data via the REST API.

Mitigation

Fetch the raw data and perform aggregations on the client side.

One exception: the number of items matching a query is available via the meta=totalCount parameter on list reads — see Get the Total Count.
