mixpanel-query-py

The Python interface to fetch data from Mixpanel via Mixpanel's Data Query API. Note, this differs from the official Python binding which only provides an interface to send data to Mixpanel.

Installation

To install mixpanel-query-py, simply:

$ pip install mixpanel-query-py

or alternatively (you really should be using pip though):

$ easy_install mixpanel-query-py

or from source:

$ git clone git@github.com:cooncesean/mixpanel-query-py.git
$ cd mixpanel-query-py
$ python setup.py install

Usage

You will need a Mixpanel account and your API_KEY + API_SECRET to access your project's data via their API; which can be found in "Account" > "Projects".

from mixpanel_query.client import MixpanelQueryClient
from your_project.conf import MIXPANEL_API_KEY, MIXPANEL_API_SECRET

# Instantiate the client
query_client = MixpanelQueryClient(MIXPANEL_API_KEY, MIXPANEL_API_SECRET)

# Query your project's data
data = query_client.get_events_unique(['Some Event Name'], 'hour', 24)
print data
{
    'data': {
        'series': ['2010-05-29', '2010-05-30', '2010-05-31'],
        'values': {
            'account-page': {'2010-05-30': 1},
            'splash features': {
                '2010-05-29': 6,
                '2010-05-30': 4,
                '2010-05-31': 5,  # Date + unique event counts
            }
        }
    },
    'legend_size': 2
}

Authentication

By default the MixpanelQueryClient will use signature-based authentication when issuing requests to Mixpanel. If you would like to use the secret-based authentication method, you can do so like this:

from mixpanel_query.client import MixpanelQueryClient
from mixpanel_query.auth import SecretAuth, SignatureAuth
from your_project.conf import MIXPANEL_API_KEY, MIXPANEL_API_SECRET

# Instantiate a secret-based auth client
secret_auth_client = MixpanelQueryClient(MIXPANEL_API_KEY, MIXPANEL_API_SECRET, auth_class=SecretAuth)

# Instantiate a signature-based auth client explicitly
sig_auth_client = MixpanelQueryClient(MIXPANEL_API_KEY, MIXPANEL_API_SECRET, auth_class=SignatureAuth)

View the api reference for details on accessing different endpoints.
