What is the GoSquared API?

Last updated: 15th May, 2024

The GoSquared API is a powerful tool for developers that can provide you direct access to the data GoSquared tracks. You can use it to export reports and custom data, power your own dashboards and software or even use it for features on your site, like a trending content widget.

The API is split into 2 sections.

Reporting

Get data out of GoSquared:

  • Now API – provides real-time visitor data about your site.
  • Trends API – provides access to aggregate historical data.
  • People API – provides access to individual user data.
  • Account – retrieve and update your account settings.

Tracking

Get data into GoSquared

  • Tracking API – a restful http API for sending data into GoSquared.
  • ​JavaScript Tracker – the Analytics code snippet for your site.

How to add an API Key in GoSquared

Step 1:
From your Dashboard, simply head to Settings > Your Account > API Access

Step 2:
Click “Add a new API Key” and enable the relevant API. Once the setting is saved, you can copy the API key onto your clipboard and transfer this to the program you want to authenticate.

NB:
API Keys are associated to Users, not to projects. If a team member adds an API Key, but their user-access is later removed from the account, then a new API Key will need to be added for the project by an active User.
