    Hello,

    In Legacy analytics, we can use the REST API to access raw data (specifically custom data) in json/csv formats. What is the alternative in the new analytics service?

    Also, is their any news on when new analytics will be available for WebGL projects?

    Thank you.

    For UGS Analytics, you can perform SQL queries in the dashboard and export the results. We also have Data Access feature to connect your Snowflake account

    https://docs.unity.com/analytics/SQLDataExplorer.html

    https://docs.unity.com/analytics/DataAccess.html

    We hope to have good news for WebGL in the next week or two!

    I miss a simple export button for the data. Is this on your roadmap or a declined feature?

    I integrated the Unity Analytics in one day into my project. I needed another day to get the export with SnowFlake (kind of) working. But I needed to register for a 30 day free trial for snowflake. No public pricings are written on their webpage. Instead I had to register by mail for receiving a price list, which never got into my inbox, even with a second attempt with another email address. Does anyone have a clou about the costs for a tiny hobby project? There a some free alternative analytic services. Also costs arise for the suggested tool Tableau.

    I think Unity should not forget the developer who are not working on AAA-titles and make analytics over-complicated with the export process. I am a professional developer myself, but for this project I just need a simple JSON or XML file. Later I intend to process this data with C# code.

    You can export results from SQL Data Explorer. Is that working for you? Keep in mind that legacy Raw Data Export was not free either and required a Unity Pro license. And can you elaborate, process this data with C# code? Do you mean in-game or other?

    Ah, I don't know how I could not find this, even after googling for it! Thanks! And sorry I was a bit upset, because I wasted so much time. At work we use paid Unity.

    I intend to do calculations with the analytics data and this data will directly shown to the player and affect gameplay. It has only be updated every few months.

    Got it! One note about Snowflake, I too got the free trial to check it out. But I might recommend to stay away from their Small instance, it would take me several minutes just to log in, way too slow to be usable https://support.unity.com/hc/en-us/...nce-when-choosing-warehouse-size-in-snowflake
