Insights report

All Mixpanel reports can be queried for your analysis. Make sure you start by getting the appropriate authentication.

Enter your service account username and password in the Python tab on the right of this page: https://developer.mixpanel.com/reference/insights-query.

To retrieve or create a service account you'll need to visit your organization settings to get one set up: https://mixpanel.com/settings/org#serviceaccounts

import requests 

# Get insights report data 
url = "https://mixpanel.com/api/query/insights?project_id=<your_project_id>"

# Get your_auth here by entering your creds: https://developer.mixpanel.com/reference/insights-query
headers = {
    "accept": "application/json",
    "authorization": "Basic <your_auth>"
}

# Query the API
response = requests.get(url, headers=headers)

# Print response
print(response.text)

Once your auth is set up, you can follow the same pattern for querying funnel, retention, segmentation, and other reports.

Update users

Writing to Mixpanel is quite easy using the Mixpanel Python client. The Mixpanel Python client is built specifically for updating your Mixpanel data.

import micropip
await micropip.install('mixpanel')

from mixpanel import Mixpanel
mp = Mixpanel("YOUR_TOKEN_HERE")

# Update a user 
DISTINCT_ID = 'ID_GOES_HERE'
mp.people_set(DISTINCT_ID, {'$first_name' : 'fakeName', 'favorite pizza': 'margherita'})

'Update user'
