Overview
Keen IO is a data analytics API that lets you record custom events and then query and visualize that data without setting up your own database or analytics infrastructure. You send JSON events like user actions or system metrics to Keen IO, and it stores and makes them queryable in real time. It is useful for product analytics, IoT telemetry, or any scenario where you need to track and analyze custom events.
Beginner Tip
Start by sending a few test events using the write key before building queries—this confirms your data is arriving correctly and helps you understand the event structure. The Keen IO Explorer in the dashboard lets you build queries visually before writing any code.
Available Data
The kind of data this API exposes, based on its documentation. We could not call the endpoint to confirm the exact field names.
Example Response
Illustrative shape only — we were not able to call this endpoint (it requires credentials or exposes no public sample URL), so the fields below show the kind of data this API returns rather than a recorded response.
{
"status": "success",
"data": {
"result": "Data from Keen IO",
"description": "Data Analytics",
"timestamp": "2025-01-15T10:00:00Z"
}
} Field Reference
created True if the event was successfully recorded to the specified collection. result For query responses, the computed result value (e.g., count, sum, or average). value For grouped or interval queries, an array of result objects broken down by the specified group or time bucket. timeframe The time range covered by the query result, with start and end timestamps. Implementation Example
Calls a real endpoint of this API. Replace any placeholder credentials with your own key.
const url = "https://api.keen.io/3.0/projects/YOUR_PROJECT_ID/events/purchases";
// Replace headers or query params with the values required by this API.
const response = await fetch(url, {
headers: {
"X-API-Key": "YOUR_API_KEY"
}
});
if (!response.ok) throw new Error(`Request failed: ${response.status}`);
const data = await response.json();
console.log(data); What Can You Build?
