Unity Analytics Raw Data Export gives you full access to raw event data. This lets you use the data in whatever way you choose, for example to construct custom queries or data visualizations.
There are two ways you can access raw data export:
Raw Data Export provides data from June 2016 onwards.
The Unity Analytics dashboard provides a way to export and access your raw event data without writing any code. In your Unity Analytics dashboard (analytics.cloud.unity3d.com), select your project and navigate to Analytics > Raw Data Export.
Then follow these steps in the Export section of that screen:
Raw Data Export automatically creates the job and displays it in the Activity table on the screen.
Once the job is done, you can download your data by selecting the files from the Download column.
Every data point sent to Unity Analytics is stored in Unity’s data store. The Raw Data Export APIs allow you to download your raw event data in files as the data is received and stored.
Every request requires HTTP Basic authentication using your Unity Project ID (UPID) and API Key.
startDate
to endDate
) is limited to 31 days.To export raw data, call the Create Raw Data Export API. This request triggers an asynchronous job to process the data. The time this takes depends on how much data is being exported.
To get the current status or result, poll using the Get Raw Data Export API. Once the export is completed, you can get the result in the response of this API. The result contains the list of files and the corresponding download URLs. You can loop through the URLs and download the exported data.
Notes:
A Raw Data Export is specific to a project and specific to a single dataset (event type). The request period is limited to 31 days.
Use the following HTTP method to create a Raw Data Export:
POST api/v2/projects/{UNITY_PROJECT_ID}/rawdataexports
Arguments are provided in the payload of the request, and are in JSON format with the Content-Type application/json.
Request argument | Required or optional | Type | Description |
---|---|---|---|
startDate | Required unless continueFrom is specified | string | The start date (inclusive) of the export. The date is expressed in YYYY-MM-DD format (ISO–8601). |
endDate | Required | String | The end data (exclusive) of the export. The date is expressed in YYYY-MM-DD format (ISO 8601). This is the date at which to close the query. When searching for the current day, use the following day’s date. |
format | Required | String | The output data format: json (newline-delimited json) or tsv. |
dataset | Required | String | One of the following event types: appStart, appRunning, deviceInfo, custom, or transaction. |
continueFrom | Optional | String | The Raw Data Export ID to continue exporting data from. This is used for continuing a previous export from the point it finished. See Continuing for more information. Instead of specifying a startDate, a prior Raw Data Export ID could be specified in continueFrom. It is an error to specify both continueFrom and startDate. |
Template for a request using cURL on the command line:
curl --user {UNITY_PROJECT_ID}:{API_KEY} --request POST --header "Content-Type: application/json" --data {REQUEST_JSON}
https://analytics.cloud.unity3d.com/api/v2/projects/{UNITY_PROJECT_ID}/rawdataexports
Example values:
UNITY_PROJECT_ID = aa43ae0a-a7a7-4016-ae96-e253bb126aa8
API_KEY = 166291ff148b2878375a8e54aebb1549
REQUEST_JSON = { "startDate": "2016-05-15" , "endDate": "2016-05-16", "format": "tsv", "dataset": "appStart" }
An actual request using the example values:
curl --user aa43ae0a-a7a7-4016-ae96-e253bb126aa8:166291ff148b2878375a8e54aebb1549 --request POST --header "Content-Type: application/json" --data '{ "startDate": "2016-05-15" , "endDate": "2016-05-16", "format": "tsv", "dataset": "appStart" }' https://analytics.cloud.unity3d.com/api/v2/projects/aa43ae0a-a7a7-4016-ae96-e253bb126aa8/rawdataexports
The response uses the common Raw Data Export Response Attributes in JSON format.
Response attribute | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
id | String | The Raw Data Export ID. |
upid | String | The Unity Project ID. |
createdAt | String | The created time in ISO 8601 format. |

result.size | Long | The total size of the data exported (in bytes). |
result.eventCount | Long | The total number of events exported. |
result.intraDay | Boolean | When the request includes the current day it might not contain all the data for the day. This attribute is TRUE if the data is incomplete for the last day. |
result.fileList | Json | The list of files containing the data exported. The file list is empty when there is no data. |
result.fileList.name | String | The file name. |
result.fileList.url | String | The download URL for the file. The files are compressed in gzip format. |
result.fileList.size | Long | The size of the file in bytes. |

When you are running periodic Raw Data Exports, you must provide the continueFrom argument instead of the startDate to make sure you are continuing from the previous Raw Data Export. Prior Raw Data Export IDs can be fetched via the GET APIs or accessed via the Dashboard.
Use the following HTTP method to get a specific Raw Data Export or ongoing export status:
GET api/v2/projects/{UNITY_PROJECT_ID}/rawdataexports/{raw_data_export_id}
All required arguments are part of the URL path.
An example of a request:
curl --user {UNITY_PROJECT_ID}:${API_KEY} https://analytics.cloud.unity3d.com/api/v2/projects/{UNITY_PROJECT_ID}/rawdataexports/${ID}
The response is the Raw Data Export in JSON format. It is the same as the response in Create Raw Data Export.

If you choose to export in TSV format, the headers are provided in a separate file in headers.gz. The data files do not include headers.
An example headers file:
ts appid type userid sessionid platform sdk_ver debug_device user_agent submit_time name custom_params
Each of the six data types (event types) differ. See below for their schema definitions.
Notes:
ts
is the timestamp at which the event was generated on the device. Note that device-generated timestamps can be skewed due to the device clock and latency in receiving the event.submit_time
is the timestamp at which the event was received by Unity Analytics.0
for numbers, ""
for strings, and false
for bools). Nested fields, like the IAP TransactionEvent.receipt
field, in JSON-format exports are an exception to this policy. In the JSON-format export of nested fields, any fields containing no data are not included in the JSON object for that record.{
