Export transition data?

General questions

Hi!

Is it possible to export transition data in the same way that you can export page data (as a csv file for example)?

Thanks,

Hi,

The transition data isn’t really something you can represent in a two-dimensional table. But the API still lets you export all the data in JSON format which allows for proper nesting:

https://matomo.example/index.php?module=API&method=Transitions.getTransitionsForPageUrl&pageUrl=https://www.example.com/&idSite=1&period=month&date=today&format=JSON&token_auth=the_token&force_api_session=1

    }
