Understand how to interpret the data that comes with the Exports API.
Full data exports are available via the Exports APIAPI.
Use this API to get a list of CSV files available for download. Each CSV file is a single day of data and includes every single dimension collected by Mux, for each single video view. The table below details each of these data fields.
