Learn how Trackingplan’s Data Explorer API provides real-time access to monitoring data, making it easy to explore and retrieve insights.
Instead of manually checking data inside the platform, the Data Explorer API lets you access the same information you see in Data Explorer, enabling real-time monitoring, automated reporting, and deeper analytics debugging.
This makes it easier to consume the data in this JSON REST format to build your own reports or share it with your clients—any way you need.

Hi everyone. Today we're bringing you a new feature that makes accessing your real-time data much easier. For this, we're going to use data explorer, the tool that already allows you to run queries for any type of event. You can access it from any destination or directly from your reports. For this example, I'm going to use a report we've just set up. Here, we've selected different purchase events from the past week to make a quick comparison. And now if I want to share this real-time data with others, I'm no longer limited to just exporting a CSV. With this new feature, we can create an API endpoint that gives real-time access to the data, which can be used in any reporting tool. This way, this report can now be consumed from anywhere. And since it's already secured with the API key in the URL, we can modify the date range at any time. Now that we've copied the API key, let's open a new browser tab to see what the data looks like. As you can see, it's a REST API. And since it's secured directly with the API key, this call gives you access to the full list of events. Here it is, data layer purchase with the dates and all the values, so you can consume the data in this JSON REST format to build your own reports or share it with your clients any way you need. If you'd like to learn more about how to access your monitoring data in real time from any data exploration in Trackingplan, feel free to reach out to us. Thanks for watching and happy tracking.
