iTunes U API GetDailyReportLogs not tracking new Collections?

I have discovered the analytic data I am retrieving from the iTunes U API GetDailyReportLogs is not tracking any iTunes U Collections we have created after about Jan 2014 but Collections created earlier are tracking OK. We often publish items (video and audio) to multiple iTunes U Collections. I have been getting iTunes U usage data with GetDailyReportLogs since 2009 and only now realised, we are not getting all the usage information. A typical GetDailyReportLogs URL I use is https://deimos.apple.com/WebObjects/Core.woa/API/GetDailyReportLogs/swin.edu.au- dz?StartDate=2015-04-11&EndDate=2015-04-…

Some questions:

Is the iTunes U API GetDailyReportLogs still supported?
Is anyone still using iTunes U API GetDailyReportLogs?
Are you experiencing the same issue?
Do you know what the cause might be and a solution?

Mac Pro, OS X Yosemite (10.10.3)

Appe has replied to me directly for this issue...

"...unfortunately we have depreciated the GetDailyReportLogs for iTunes U Public Site Manager sites some time ago. As such it will only work for collections that were built in our older infrastructure and any collections built recently utilise different resources and are sadly invisible to the GetDailyReportLogs action.

However, I was assured that the current reporting functions on PSM do include both types of collections (old and new) and that is the best one to use."
