Matomo Reporting API (index.php entrypoint)

The single /index.php dispatch entrypoint through which every Matomo Reporting API method is invoked, by supplying module=API and method=Module.Action. This entry documents the entrypoint contract itself — the shared parameters (idSite, period, date, segment, format, token_auth) and the bulk-request form — rather than any one module. The per-module contracts are the 59 OpenAPI documents generated by Matomo's own ApiReference plugin.
