Historical Analytics Data (more than 30 days)

Features

It’d make more sense to have historical data available. Considering $9/mo.
Thank you

Hi @s-kris,

Thank you for adding your voice to this. We’d pass it on to the devs.

24

are there any updates on this?

I bought the analytics add-on, but now realized it’s constrained to 30 days, which makes it pretty useless for me (was looking to replace google analytics).

25

No updates at the moment, @vsmann.

26

for anyone also looking for this - I figured out an alternative: cloudflare pages has this (for free)

28

Just wanted to chime in and say that lack of history spanning back further than 30 days seriously reduces the usefulness of the analytics and makes it very difficult to justify the $9/month price tag, especially while competitors offer the same service for free. I cancelled my service and will be seriously considering moving my sites to Cloudflare Pages instead.

Agreed; I’m shocked this hasn’t been implemented.

+1, I also paid for the analytics add-on, as I wasn’t aware of the constraint. I will also be cancelling the subscription. I’m so disappointed.

@perry @hrishikesh it’s indeed disappointing we don’t have more than 30 days access. It’s been 3 and a half years this thread was open. One of the following workarounds would be enough:

  • download a CSV file with data from a given period
  • an official API so people could fetch the data and store themselves

It’s been a few years since @perry worked for Netlify too, see:

Yeah I definitely imagined that could be the case while I was writing the reply :frowning_face:

APIs still exist: Netlify Analytics API - #15 by hrishikesh

That thread is an example and those endpoints are likely deprecated: Analytics v1 API Deprecation, but you can still check the UI and get the current endpoints.

They’re partly official as in, the UI uses those, but they’re undocumented for the public. Almost everything that the UI does would be available via APIs, so if this is a major requirement, you can use the dev tools to get the endpoints that you want.

Thank you for clarifying :pray:t2:
