Creating a data source using Localytics

To create a data source using Localytics, you need to accomplish four tasks:

• Start the data source creation process
• Craft a query and enter it into Klipfolio
• Find your API Key and Secret
• Authenticate and complete the data source creation process

Note: This guide assumes that you already have an active Localytics account.

Step 1: Start the data source creation process

To create a data source using Localytics, go to the Service Connectors page in Klipfolio and select the REST/URL connector option.

Step 2: Craft your query and enter it into Klipfolio

To craft a query, we recommend you refer to Localytics API documentation to help you get started on crafting a query.

Here is a sample query to help you get started:

GET https://api.localytics.com/v1/apps

Copy and paste your completed query URL from Localytics into Klipfolio.

Step 3: Find your API key

If you have not requested an API Key, you can submit a request by email to support@localytics.com. You can find your API Key and Secret Key by logging into your account, going to Settings and clicking on the API tab.

Step 4: Authenticate and complete the data source creation process

Once you have completed your query:

1. At Data Format, select JSON.
2. At Method, select GET or POST.
3. In the Authentication (OAuth, 2-Step, X-WSSE, or Basic) menu, under Type, select Basic HTTP Authentication.
4. At Username, enter your API Key.
5. At Password, enter your Secret Key.
6. Select Get data.
7. Ensure this is the data you’re looking for and, optionally, select the checkbox to Model your data. Learn more about modelling your data source here.
8. Click Continue.
9. Name, choose refresh settings, and, optionally, share your data source.
10. Click Save.
