This article provides an overview to get started with the Piwik PRO connector in Peliqan. Please contact support if you have any additional questions or remarks.

Add connection

In Peliqan, go to Connections, click on Add Connection and find Piwik in the list. You will need a Client id and Client secret:

In Piwik, click on “Menu” in the top left corner.
Click on your account name (e.g. your email address).
Next, click on API keys and add a new API key.
Copy the Client ID and Client Secret and paste it in Peliqan.

Get report data in your data warehouse

Peliqan will sync standard data from your Piwik account into the data warehouse. You can also sync report data, using a low-code Python script. For each report, you first need to copy the “API call definition” of the report in Piwik. In Piwik go to Analytics > Reports and open a Report. Click on the 3 dots icon above your report chart and select “View API call definition”. Copy the JSON and paste it in the script. Piwik report menu with three dots

Example script

# In Piwik go to Analytics > Reports and open a Report.
# Click on the 3 dots icon above your report chart and select 'View API call definition'.
# Copy the JSON and paste it in the script below.

piwik_pro_api = pq.connect('Piwik Pro')

from datetime import date, timedelta
today = date.today().isoformat()
seven_days_ago = (date.today() - timedelta(days=7)).isoformat()

# Example from report "Audience Overview"
report = {
	"date_from": seven_days_ago,
	"date_to": today,
	"website_id": "61176dd4-7be9-47a9-a2fd-ec28e7b3e444",

	"order_by": [
		[

		]
	],
	"filters": None,
	"metric_filters": None
}

result = piwik_pro_api.get('report', report)
columns = result["meta"]["columns"]
data = [dict(zip(columns, row)) for row in result["data"]]

dbconn = pq.dbconnect(pq.DW_NAME)
dbconn.write('piwik_reports', 'audience_overview', records = data, pk='timestamp__to_date')
