Returns arrays of per-time-bucket counts for attendees, chat activity, and visual focus, useful for rendering engagement visualizations. ## Requires api token with one of the following permissions ``` Read detailed stats ``` Tokens with the "Act with a team member's permissions" permission (`all:delegate_to_contact_permissions` scope) can also be used. Requests made with such a token are authorized using the permissions of the contact assigned to the token. An [expiring access token](https://docs.wistia.com/reference/post_expiring-token) created with the `all:delegate_to_contact_permissions` scope and an authorization granting the `view-stats` permission on this webinar can also be used. # OpenAPI definition ````json { "openapi": "3.1.1", "info": { "title": "Analytics API", "description": "Wistia Analytics API - Bottler-powered analytics endpoints", "version": "2026.09.0" }, "servers": [ { "url": "https://api.wistia.com/modern" } ], "security": [ { "BearerAuth": [] } ], "tags": [ { "name": "Analytics:Webinar" } ], "paths": { "/analytics/webinars/{webinarId}/histograms": { "get": { "summary": "Show Webinar Histograms", "x-speakeasy-group": "analyticsWebinar", "x-speakeasy-name-override": "getHistograms", "description": "Retrieve engagement histogram data for a webinar.
