Raw data export

MyTracker allows you to export raw data, without processing and aggregation, in the form it was received from the SDK or web counter. Use the data as a base for third-party analytics systems, CRM platforms, self-processing, and analysis of user experience.

Monitor the status, copy settings, and download data from the interface without API requests.

You can export the raw data using the Export API. Learn more

Only account owners and users with the granted export permission can export raw data from the account. For details, see User management.

Export statuses

The exports list includes only exports created in the last 30 days. After adding an export, you can track its status:

• In progress means that the file is generating.
• Available until indicates that the file has been successfully generated and will be available for download until the specified date.
• Retention period expired means that the file is no longer available for download. You can duplicate the export to generate a similar request.
• Failed indicates that the file cannot be exported for one of the following reasons:
  • An error occurred on the server side. You can restart exporting later.
  • Too many lines in export. Try reducing the period and adding more filters.
  • Too much export data. Try reducing the number of fields.

Find out the specific reason of the error by clicking on the icon next to the status.

• Canceled by user means that the export is canceled via MyTracker Export API request.

If the export is empty you will see the icon next to the status Available until. This means that there is no data for the specified export conditions. Try to create a new or duplicate the current export for a longer period and with fewer filters.
