Swrve Export API guide

The Swrve Export APIs enable you to export data from the Swrve service. These APIs enable the export of KPI, item sales, event count, and campaign data.
Never call the Export API from within your app. The Export API is hosted in the Swrve dashboard and not designed for high levels of traffic.

In addition to the app’s API key you must also provide a personal key to access the export APIs. For more information, see Where do I find my API Key and personal key?

This article references Swrve’s URLs for all data and content stored in both our US and EU data centers. Click the relevant tab based on your app configuration. For more information, see How do I configure the Swrve SDK for EU data storage?

KPI export

The Swrve Export API enables you to export KPI data from the Swrve service. All of the KPI data that is displayed in Swrve is available through this REST API. The data is available in JSON and HTML format. The HTML data produces a table, which is especially useful for performing Excel web queries or for import into Google Spreadsheets. To request JSON data, add .json to the end of the URL. To request HTML data, add .html.

Call all of the API calls below with HTTP GET. All of the URLs share a common root: https://dashboard.swrve.com/api/1/exporter/kpi (or https://eu-dashboard.swrve.com/api/1/exporter/kpi for EU-configured apps).

Get DAU in a specific format:

JSON

https://dashboard.swrve.com/api/1/exporter/kpi/dau.json

HTML

https://dashboard.swrve.com/api/1/exporter/kpi/dau.html

Common URL parameters

The following parameters are used by all calls in the KPI Exporter API:

Parameter Presence Description
api_key Required The API key for the given app.
personal_key Required The personal key for your user login.
history Required (if start is not used) This parameter is used in conjunction with the specified granularity to fetch the N last data points starting from the current date. For example, if history is set to 8 and the hour granularity is specified, then the data points of the last 8 hours are fetched.
start Required (if history is not used) The start date of the date range from which data is fetched. The following date formats are supported: yyyy, yyyy-mm, yyyy-mm-dd, yyyy-mm-dd-hh. All dates use the local timezone of the app.
stop Optional The end date of the date range from which data is fetched. Only set the end date if a start date is specified. The following date formats are supported: yyyy, yyyy-mm, yyyy-mm-dd, yyyy-mm-dd-hh. All dates use the local timezone of the app. If no end date is specified, the current time is used by default.
segment Optional The segment from which data is to be fetched. If no segment is specified, data from all users is fetched by default.
granularity Optional The temporal granularity of the fetched data. The granularities supported by each KPI are listed in the table below. The default granularity is denoted with an asterisk. The granularity 24hour_rolling is calculated over the proceeding 24 hours reported hourly. The granularity 30day_rolling is calculated over the preceding 30 days reported daily.
transpose Optional This parameter is only relevant for the .html version of this call. If set to true, the columns and rows of the generated table are switched. This parameter is set to false by default.
only_data Optional This parameter is only relevant for the .html version of this call. If set to true, the row and column headers of the generated table are removed. This parameter is set to false by default.

Extra parameters

The following parameter is only required for some API calls. The documentation for each call below specifies if these extra parameters are required.

Parameter Presence Description
currency Optional The virtual currency of interest. If no currency is specified, data is fetched from all virtual currencies.

Campaign metadata

Swrve provides two APIs for mapping tracking events for Swrve campaign touchpoints to the relevant campaign data, such as name, dashboard URL, start date, and so forth.

Depending on the channel and action type, these Swrve campaign events are logged in two formats—Generic or Custom. For more details on which channel/actions map to which format, see Raw event data schema.

Additionally, Swrve provides a third API for mapping in-app message events – click, navigation, and dismiss – to their associated actions, such as deeplink, copy-to-clipboard, page navigation, and permission requests.

Call the API below with HTTP GET. All of the metadata URLs will share a common root:

https://dashboard.swrve.com/api/1/exporter/campaign_meta_data/
(https://eu-dashboard.swrve.com/api/1/exporter/campaign_meta_data/)

Common URL parameters

The following parameters are used by all calls in the Campaign Metadata API:

Parameter Presence Description
api_key Required The API key for the given app.
personal_key Required The personal key for your user login.

Generic campaign events API

This is the API for retrieving a mapping between the tracking ID in generic campaign events and campaign metadata.

Button mapping

This returns a CSV file that maps the button IDs in in-app message campaign events to button metadata. The CSV file only includes data for in-app message campaigns that are scheduled active, inactive, or archived.

The button ID is only unique per page ID, which is only unique per Tracking ID. When mapping the button metadata file to campaign events, you must join on all three IDs.

By uploading this table into a local store and joining with Swrve’s raw event data, you can create your own comprehensive button click report, complete with specific button actions.

The columns in this CSV file are:

Column Description
Campaign ID Parent Campaign ID, as displayed in the Swrve dashboard URL for a particular campaign.
Tracking ID Unique individual variant ID used with the campaign.
Page ID Individual Page ID, unique per variant (Tracking ID). Maps to the contextId in click, dismiss, and navigation events
Page Name Name of the page.
Button ID Individual Button ID, unique per each page (Page ID) per variant (Tracking ID). Maps to the buttonId in click, dismiss, and navigation events.
Button Name The name of the button, as defined in the campaign.
Action Type The button’s action, executed when the user interacts with the button. One of the following:

  • copy_to_clipboard: copies the value to the device’s clipboard
  • deeplink: opens the app to a specified deeplink URL
  • dismiss: dismisses the in-app message
  • open_app_settings: directs the user to the app’s settings page
  • open_notification_settings: directs the user to the app’s notification settings page
  • page_open: directs the user to another page in multi-page campaigns
  • request_permission: requests a device permission
  • start_geo_sdk: initializes Swrve’s Geo SDK, if integrated.
Action Value For applicable action types, the action’s specific value:

  • copy_to_clipboard: the value copied to the device’s clipboard
  • deeplink: the button’s deeplink value, typically a URL
  • page_open: the Page ID the button opens to
  • request_permission: the device permission requested

The filename format is: campaign-meta-data-in_app_button_meta_data-<APP_ID>-<CURRENT_DATE>-<RANDOM_STRING>.csv

where:

  • APP_ID is the ID of the app as encoded in Swrve dashboard URL
  • CURRENT_DATE is a date/time-stamp
  • RANDOM_STRING is a random string
