Hi AML,
Kanalony is work in progress but it will take time. Regardless, that won't change the Sphinx limitation.
There is no API for that but if you have direct DB access, you can get it with:
mysql> select ui_conf_id, sum(count_plays) from kalturadw.dwh_hourly_events_devices where partner_id = $PARTNER_ID and date_id between YYMMDD and YYMMDD group by ui_conf_id;
