What is the StatsDrone API Data Feed?

Written by Joe Hatch


The API Data Feed lets you pull the same statistics you see in your StatsDrone reports into your own systems — a data warehouse, a BI tool, a spreadsheet, or a dashboard you build yourself.

It is a single read-only endpoint. You call it with a URL, you get JSON back. There is nothing to install, and nothing you send to StatsDrone through it — the feed only ever returns data.

What you can pull

Seven reports are available. Which ones you can use depends on your plan:

The API Data Feed itself is a paid feature. If your plan does not include it, the Manage API data feed button in Settings opens a short request form instead — see Article 2.

Good to know before you start

  • Every request needs an API key. You create it yourself in Settings, and you can replace it at any time.

  • Data is scoped to your account. A key only ever returns data for the accounts it is allowed to see. If the key belongs to a team member whose access is limited to certain affiliate accounts, the feed returns only those.

  • How far back you can go depends on your plan. See Article 4.

  • There is no pagination. One request returns one complete report. Very large date ranges are refused rather than truncated — split them into shorter periods.

Where to go next

  • Article 2 — turning the feed on and building your first query URL

  • Article 3 — authentication and your first request

  • Article 4 — the full parameter reference

  • Article 5 — how a response is shaped

  • Article 6 — what each report returns, field by field

  • Article 7 — errors and troubleshooting

  • Article 8 — recent changes you may need to act on
