Use this guide to connect your Smarp data to the reports you create with Supermetrics.

If you need to connect this data source to one of our data warehouse or cloud storage destinations, explore our data warehouse and cloud storage setup guides.

Before you begin

To connect Supermetrics to Smarp, you need:

An account name. This is the name you choose for your login. We recommend using your account's name.
A Smarp subdomain. This is the subdomain from your URL.
- This is found after the https:// in your Smarp URL. For example, in the URL https: //examplestore.smarpshare.com, examplestore is the Smarp subdomain.
An API key. You'll find this in the Smarp dashboard — remember to keep it safe once you have it. Read the Authentication section of Smarp's basic concepts documentation to learn more.

To access most query types, you'll need the Company Admin role level.

Clicks: Returns all clicks based on the period in which clicks happened.
