Analytics API
Introduction to analytics, identity insights, and custom-object retrieval APIs for reporting, segmentation, and backend data analysis.
Overview
The Analytics API is intended for backend data retrieval, reporting, and insight-driven workflows. Use this group when you need aggregate or query-oriented identity data rather than user-facing authentication or account-management flows.
This group is best understood as a data-access surface for analytics and insight generation.
What this API group covers
The current Analytics API group includes:
IdentityCustom ObjectsInsights
These sections help you query identity records, retrieve analytics-oriented custom object data, and run insight-style operations over user information.
Available sections
Identity
Identity-focused retrieval and reporting endpoints for user-profile data access in analytics-oriented contexts.
Custom Objects
Endpoints for querying custom object data used in reporting, segmentation, or data-processing workflows.
Insights
Endpoints that support insight-style querying and user-profile analysis use cases.
Common workflows
Typical uses for this group include:
- retrieving identity data for analytics or reporting
- querying custom objects for backend analysis
- generating user insight or segmentation inputs
- building dashboards, exports, or operational analysis workflows
When to start here
Start with the Analytics API when:
- your goal is reporting or analysis rather than authentication
- you need insight-oriented identity retrieval
- you need analytics-style access to custom object data
- you are building backend data pipelines or internal reporting tools
If you are modifying user accounts or handling user-facing auth flows, use the Authentication API or Account API instead.
Next steps
- Review the Authorization page for this group before integrating backend retrieval jobs
- Start with Identity for user data analysis use cases
- Use Custom Objects when your reporting depends on flexible structured records
- Use Insights for analytics-specific profile query flows
