Generate Random Data for Piwik (1 reply)

Hello

I have a script which I run from the command line (http://pastebin.com/dj6V38wt​) which uses the Tracking API to generate random data and send requests to piwik.php. When I run this script without my token_auth, I can see the visits and page views being tracked in Piwik. When I run this script with my token_auth the data is accepted by Piwik but not visible in the user interface. (See attachments).

Sadly, I can't seem to force Piwik to show (and compute the reports) for data older than the current date. I have been looking quite extensively over Google and StackOverflow and this was the best I can find: ​http://stackoverflow.com/questions/17920198/piwik-import-historical-data-via-the-api-shows-only-last-two-days-in-dashboard

---

These are two responses for the HTTP requests made by my script to piwik.php using the Tracking API. One with and one without the token_auth.

Why would the data for the second request with the token_auth not show in Piwik dashboard, but the first would?

Many thanks!
