Analytics API

📘

Important Note

The Analytics API is different from Robin’s generic API. Our Analytics API can be used to efficiently access historical and exported data, whereas our generic API can be used for other system integrations (like MS Teams).

In this guide, we'll cover how to use the Analytic API, what it can help with and where to find additional support.

Robin's analytics API enables you to:

• Build custom dashboards with your preferred analytics tool (like PowerBI, Looker or Tableau).
• Schedule and automate reports.
• Easily share insights with the leadership team as they decide on hybrid work strategies.
• Guidelines

Requesting data on an ongoing basis:

• Make single-day export creation requests (POST) each day to capture the previous day’s data.
• GET requests to retrieve the generated export after the creation request should poll at 10-second or greater intervals. See the GET endpoint below for more information.

Error handling

We reserve the right to make additive changes to the data returned. Existing columns will not be removed, but new ones may be added. Your code should be flexible enough to not fail if additional data is returned.

Authentication

Please see our API documentation over at https://docs.robinpowered.com/docs to get an understanding of how our REST API works with Authentication etc., and generate a token for your organization.

Usage

Below, you will find POST and GET methods. You will end up calling both. The POST tells Robin that you would like data prepared for download. This is an asynchronous request and returns an export ID.

Next, call the single shared GET endpoint with the export ID from the POST request. You'll receive 404 responses until the data is ready. Once the data is ready, you'll receive a 20x status and the CSV data in the response. These GET calls should be made at 10-second intervals.

Export API

Requests

Each export has a slightly different endpoint as described below. Exports are returned as CSV files. Columns are generally not removed from the exports but may be added or moved.
