Simple Analytics API Integrations

Build and run workflows using the Simple Analytics API. Use 1000s of source-available triggers and actions across 2,000+ apps. Or write custom code to integrate any app or API in seconds.

Overview#

The Simple Analytics API offers streamlined access to your website analytics data. Pipedream's integration allows you to automate actions based on this data, like triggering events when specific metrics change or combining analytics with other data sources for richer insights. By creating workflows on Pipedream, you can harness the power of Simple Analytics to monitor site performance, understand user behavior, and improve decision-making processes.

import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
  props: {
    simple_analytics: {
      type: "app",
      app: "simple_analytics",
    }
  },
  async run({steps, $}) {
    return await axios($, {
      url: `https://simpleanalytics.com/api/websites`,
      headers: {
        "Content-Type": `application/json`,
        "Api-Key": `${this.simple_analytics.$auth.api_key}`,
        "User-Id": `${this.simple_analytics.$auth.user_id}`,
      },
    })
  },
})

Example Use Cases#

Daily Performance Report: Automate the daily retrieval of site metrics from Simple Analytics and send a formatted report to your team using Slack or email. Keep everyone updated on key performance indicators without manual data pulls.
Real-Time Alerting: Set up a workflow that monitors traffic spikes or drops in real-time. If Simple Analytics reports a significant change, Pipedream can trigger notifications via SMS (using Twilio) or messaging apps, allowing you to respond promptly to potential issues or opportunities.
Content Optimization: Integrate Simple Analytics with Airtable or Google Sheets to track the performance of different content pieces. Use this data to trigger a workflow that prioritizes high-performing content for further marketing efforts or SEO optimization.

Authentication#

Simple Analytics uses API keys for authentication. When you connect your Simple Analytics account, Pipedream securely stores the keys so you can easily authenticate to Simple Analytics APIs in both code and no-code steps.

To retrieve your User ID and API Key,

Navigate to your Simple Analytics account and sign in
Go to “Account” on the top right
Go to “Account settings” > “API access”
