Where to find it
Sign in at https://app.statsdrone.com/
Click your initials in the top right corner
Choose Settings
Scroll to the API DATA FEED section
Click Manage API data feed
If your plan does not include the API Data Feed
The button opens Request API Data Feed Access. Pick the option that best describes what you want to do with the data — export to a visualisation tool, to another stats aggregator, into your organisation's systems, or into your own database — or choose Other and describe it in your own words (up to 300 characters). Click Submit and our team will get back to you.
The Data Feed Management screen
API Data Feed Status — a single toggle, Inactive / Active.
While it is set to Inactive the whole screen is greyed out and the feed answers no queries. Switch it to Active to use the feed. You can switch it back off at any time; nothing is deleted, and turning it on again restores access with the same key.
API key — a read-only field showing your current key.
If you have never created one, click Generate new API key and the key appears in the field.
If you already have one, Generate new API key asks you to confirm first: *"Generating a new API key will immediately revoke the access of any applications currently using the existing API key. Do you wish to proceed?"*
That is exactly what happens — the moment you confirm, the previous key stops working. Update every integration that uses it. There is one key per account, so generating a new one always replaces the old one.
Treat the key like a password. Anyone who has it can read your statistics.
The query builder
The rest of the screen builds a query URL for you. You do not have to use it — you can write the URL by hand once you know the parameters (Article 4.) — but it is the quickest way to get a working one.
Control | What it does |
Start date | first day of the period you want |
End date | last day of the period, included |
Report breakdown | By Dates (one row per day) or By Months (one row per month) |
Group data by | which report to pull — Accounts, Brands, Campaigns, and Dynamic variables / Players / Geo / Postbacks if your plan includes them |
Labels | tick to have your own brand and campaign labels returned instead of the names the affiliate program uses |
Report currency | convert every monetary value to one currency. Leave it on Select… to keep each account in its own currency |
Tags filter | restrict the report to accounts (or brands/campaigns) carrying the tags you pick |
Match Any / Match All | with Match Any, one matching tag is enough; with Match All, every selected tag must be present |
Query URL | the finished URL, rebuilt as you change anything above |
Copy to Clipboard | copies the query URL |
Things the form will do on its own:
By Months is unavailable for Dynamic Variables and Postbacks. Selecting either of those greys the option out, switches the breakdown back to By Dates, and shows the reason. Those two reports are collected per day and per event; there is nothing to add up into a month that would still be the same thing.
Dates outside your plan's history are refused. Pick a start or end date further back than your plan allows and the form shows the limit instead of building a URL.
The Match Any / Match All setting is saved. It is your account's API tags preference, not a one-off choice for this URL.
Paste the finished URL into a browser to see the JSON, or into whatever system is going to consume it.
