We recently moved from GA to Piwik. Our existing application & entire model is based upon the same phenomenon and principles that works over Google Analytics.

We have a call in Google Analytics to grab information about sessions based upon dimensions. It looks likes this:

.analytics.data.ga.get({
        'ids'        : CONFIG.google.analytics.profileId,
        'start-date' : moment(flipbook.created).format(ISODateFormat),
        'end-date'   : moment(new Date()).format(ISODateFormat),
        'metrics'    : 'ga:sessions',
        'dimensions' : 'ga:date,ga:deviceCategory,ga:source,ga:socialNetwork,ga:country',
        'filters'    : 'ga:pagePath=~^/flipbook/' + flipbook.id
      })

which returns arrays of row which includes date, device, social network, country & views. However, when it comes to Piwik, we need to deal with APIs as follow:

• UserSettings.getBrowser
• UserCountry.getCountry
• VisitsSummary.getVisits
• DevicesDetection.getType

Even more, it doesn't make date as a base column of the data set. The sample data returned by Google Analytics looks like this:

[
       { date: '2014-01-10', device: 'desktop', source: '(direct)', location: 'United Kingdom', views: 5},
       { date: '2014-01-10', device: 'tablet', source: 'website.com', location: 'Norway', views: 7},
       { date: '2014-01-11', device: 'mobile', source: 'Twitter', location: 'Norway', views: 10}
    ]

How can we achieve the same output in Piwik using a single call or atleast achieve it?
