Exporting Analytics Data as CSV

Sometimes you need your analytics data outside the dashboard — in a spreadsheet for a client report, in a data tool for deeper analysis, or in an archive before changing plans.

Why export

Common reasons to export analytics data:

Client reporting — pull data into a spreadsheet for a monthly report with custom formatting
Trend analysis — run your own calculations on daily visitor counts
Data retention — keep a local copy before downgrading or cancelling
Combining with other data — join analytics data with your own records (sales, signups, support tickets)

The Antlytics dashboard is designed for at-a-glance insights. For anything requiring custom analysis, export is the right tool.

Exporting from the dashboard

VERIFY_IN_REPO: CSV export was introduced in Step 14 of the launch sprint. If this feature is not yet live on your account, check the dashboard for the latest export options.

To export your data:

Log into your Antlytics dashboard.
Select the site you want to export data for.
Choose your date range.
Click the Export button (in the top-right area of the data panel).
Select CSV as the export format.
The file downloads to your browser.

What's included in the export

A CSV export from Antlytics includes:

Field	Description
`date`	Date of the data point (daily granularity)
`visitors`	Estimated unique visitors
`pageviews`	Total pageviews
`bounce_rate`	Percentage of single-page sessions

Depending on your export scope, additional breakdown data may be included:

Top pages (path, pageview count)
Top referrers (domain, visit count)
Top sources with UTM parameters

The export reflects the same date range and filters active in your dashboard when you clicked Export.

Using exported data in a spreadsheet

In Excel or Google Sheets:

Open a new spreadsheet.
File → Import → Upload the downloaded CSV file.
Choose comma-separated values, first row as headers.

From there you can:

Create your own charts
Calculate week-over-week or month-over-month changes
Combine with data from other sources using VLOOKUP or similar
Format for client-ready presentation

Exporting via the API

If you need automated or scheduled exports, the Antlytics API is the right approach. The API returns JSON rather than CSV, but you can convert to CSV in your own pipeline.

Authentication uses a Bearer token from your dashboard under Settings → API Keys.

Example: fetch daily visitor data for a date range:

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
  "https://www.antlytics.com/api/v1/stats/visitors?site_id=YOUR_SITE_ID&start=2026-04-01&end=2026-04-30"

The response is JSON. Pipe it through jq or a script to convert to CSV for your workflow.

For building custom dashboards and automations around the API, see building custom dashboards with the Antlytics API.

Data portability

Antlytics does not lock you in. Your data is yours. If you cancel or move to another tool, export your data before you close your account.

Note that privacy-first analytics data is aggregate by design — there are no individual user records to export. What you get is the same aggregate data visible in your dashboard.

FAQ

Can I export goal conversion data? Yes. If you have conversion goals configured, goal completion counts are included in the export alongside visitor and pageview data.

Can I export data older than my retention window? No. Data outside your retention window is deleted and cannot be exported. Export regularly if you need long-term records beyond your plan's retention period. See data retention for retention periods by plan.

Can I schedule automatic exports? Not from the dashboard UI directly. Use the API with a cron job or a tool like Zapier to schedule automated data pulls.

What format does the date column use? ISO 8601 format: YYYY-MM-DD. This is compatible with Excel, Google Sheets, and most data tools without conversion.

Can I export data for all my sites at once? Currently, exports are per-site. Export each site separately and combine in your spreadsheet if needed.
