To streamline the ingestion of Matomo data, there's a new connection type ‘ Matomo API’ connection. Matomo API allows programmatic access to analytics data for website tracking and analysis. After selecting 'Matamo API' as the Connection type, you will be presented with a set of below fields:
- URL: Web address of the Matomo server where analytics data is hosted.
- Protocol (HTTP or HTTPS): Specifies the communication protocol used to access the Matomo server, either HTTP or HTTPS. When you select 'HTTPS', you will be provided the option to upload SSL certificate by selecting 'SSL Cert' checkbox.
- Auth type (Token/PKI): Defines the authentication method for accessing the Matomo API, which can be either Token-based authentication or Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) authentication.
-
Auth Token: Authentication token used for authenticating API requests.
On Selecting 'PKI' as Auth Type, you will be shown two additional fields:- PKI Cert File Upload: A field allowing users to upload a PKI certificate file for authentication when accessing the Matomo API using PKI-based authentication.
- Key File Upload: A field allowing users to upload a key file for authentication when accessing the Matomo API using PKI-based authentication
