640247 - Possibility to retrieve simple list of crash volume history

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Socorro :: General, task)

Description

[Robert Kaiser]

Doing analysis scripts on crashes or just investigating fall and rise of crashes in volume when looking into bugs, we often need to gather a history of crash volume of a signature of combination of signatures over time.
There should be a good API to get such data from Socorro and not needing to "manually" grab that by analyzing the .csv files.

and example is

in
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=638634

we want to both plot and list daily volume numbers.

query terms to build the list would include

signature or list of signatures
firefox version or versions
build id, or build id list, or build id ranges 
  (if a buildid is specified plot each build separately.)
date range

some more examples

https://bug528798.bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=417730

this bug and the graph attachments there suggests that in some cases of really high volume its worth while to see not only daily, but hourly volume to spot introduction, growth, and fix application of some bugs.
