Prenlytics is a powerful export framework designed to securely transmit enriched raw statistical data in JSON format to an external api endpoint. This flow is tailored for clients who need to integrate detailed event-based analytics directly into their own systems, offering a rich and flexible data format that is easy to incorporate into customer's own databases or other applications.
We also offer the flexibility to convert and forward the data into custom formats via backend-to-backend integrations. Whether you need data in a specific format or require it to be sent directly to a third-party system, this solution can be tailored to fit your exact requirements.
The Prenly Reader clients send statistical data to a dedicated Prenlytics backend service, which is designed specifically to handle the high load and traffic intensity associated with large-scale statistical data processing. This backend operates independently from Prenly’s standard APIs to ensure smooth performance even under heavy traffic conditions.
All exported data adheres to a JSON schema that defines both the structure of the data and provides basic textual documentation. This ensures that the exported data consistently follows the schema's rules, making integration with external systems both stable and reliable.
The details about each event and its dimensions are more specifically documented here.
null) will not be included - instead, the property is omitted from the JSON object entirely.Prenlytics follows semantic versioning to manage JSON schema updates. This approach ensures that updates are predictable and backward-compatible unless a major version change occurs. The version number is structured as MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH (for example 1.17.4), where:
It's important to note that multiple schema versions can be active simultaneously across different platforms:
Web applications: Web deployments can quickly adopt new versions of the schema as soon as they are released. When the web platform is updated, it may begin sending data using the latest schema version.
Native applications: For native apps (iOS and Android), schema versions are tied to the version of the app installed on the user’s device. Since not all users update their apps immediately, older schema versions may remain in use long after a new version is released.
To simplify supporting this, we provide full documentation of old, current and planned versions.
This table shows both released and draft versions of the Prenlytics data format, as well as when they were released or are planned to be released.
| Schema version | Status | Released at | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Web | Android | iOS | ||
| 1.4.2 | Released | 2025-02-27 | TBA | TBA |
| 1.1.0 | Released | 2024-10-08 | 13.0.0 | 12.14.0 |
| 1.0.0 | Partially released | 2024-05-23 | - | 12.6.0 |
Prenlytics export is built-in in all Prenly application clients (web, Android, iOS), so activating it do not require building new version of the native apps.
