Analytics API

Introduction

MetaLocator tracks nearly all events that occur within the customer-facing software.  These events are tracked in our internal analytics platform and optionally in your Google Analytics.

Authentication

The Analytics API uses a token-based authentication method which is available to Enterprise accounts.  All requests must also include a "siteId" parameter.  To obtain these values, login as the account administrator, or a user with Analytics access.  Click Analytics, then Open this Dashboard in a new Window.  The idSite & token_auth parameters required will be shown in the URL address bar.

The platform we use for analytics offers a robust API.  Documentation for that API can be found below:

Testing

To test an API call select any widget on the analytics dashboard and select Export.

Select Export format Json and click Show Export URL at the bottom of the modal to view the URL.

Insert the token_auth for the account and test in a new tab.
