Data Export API

You can use Browsee's data export API to get and store data collected by Browsee.

Browsee automatically collects data about all the sessions that happen on your site. In case you have any of the following requirements, you can utilize our data export API

• Saving data beyond Browsee's data retention limit

• Creating or generating reports beyond the scope of Browsee's analytics.

• Augment your own data with data collected from Browsee.

In order to get started, please generate a secret key and read about the data export APIs below.

Generate Your Secret API Key

Go to Your Accounts or Settings Page in Browsee and generate a secret key.

Using the session export API

Session export API gives you all the details related to users and sessions either without any constraint or based on an existing circle in your account. Please note the following points.

• It only supports POST method

• This is a pagination based API. The page size by default is 100 sessions.

• In your first request, you will get the total number of results and the offset index up to which sessions have been exported. You can send more requests with changing the offset parameter (from) to get subsequent sessions.

• As an example, the first request will return documents starting from 0 upto 100. In the next request you can send from to be 100 and this time you will get documents from 100 to 200 and so on.

• Its rate limited to one open request. You must wait for the response from one request before initiating another request.

Getting the sessions for a Segment

You can send an optional parameter: segmentId to get the sessions for that segment. To get the segment Id, you can go to the list of Segments and click on View Analytics for the desired segment.

This segment's ID is the ID in the URL of the analytics page as shown

Segment ID in URL

Getting only a subset of fields
