The goal of this tool is to provide CLI access to Lytics API, as well as a developers aid to enable writing and testing LQL (Lytics Query Language) as easily as possible.
Would love any feature requests or ideas that would make this useful to you.
Download a binary from https://github.com/lytics/lytics/releases and rename to lytics. Or install from source.
# Or if you have go installed
go get -u github.com/lytics/lytics
All examples use JQ https://stedolan.github.io/jq/ to prettify the json output.
export LIOKEY="your_api_key"
lytics --help
Segment Scan Usage
Exporting CSV files, with usage.
# Scan a segment by id
lytics segment scan ab93a9801a72871d689342556b0de2e9 | jq '.'
# Scan a segment by Slug
lytics segment scan last_2_hours | jq '.'
# write out this segment to temp file so we can play with jq
lytics segment scan last_2_hours > /tmp/users.json
# same thing but with "Ad hoc query"
lytics segment scan '
FILTER AND (
lastvisit_ts > "now-2d"
EXISTS email
)
FROM user
' > /tmp/users.json
# use JQ to output a few fields
cat /tmp/users.json | \
jq -c ' {country: .country, city: .city, org: .org, uid: ._uid, visitct: .visitct} '
# create a csv file from these users
echo "country,city,org,uid,visitct\n" > /tmp/users.csv
cat /tmp/users.json | \
jq -r ' [ .country, .city, .org, ._uid, .visitct ] | @csv ' >> /tmp/users.csv
Lytics Watch Usage
- Create NAME.lql (any name) file in a folder.
- Assuming you already have data collected, it will use our api to show recent examples against that lql.
You can open and edit in an editor. Every time you edit it will print resulting users it interpreted from recent data to our api.
# get your api key from web app account settings
export LIOKEY="your_api_key"
cd /path/to/your/project
# create an lql file
# - utilize the lytics app "data -> streams" section to see
# data fields you are sending to lytics.
# you can create this in an editor as well

# now edit, json results of how data is interpreted is output
Lytics Watch With Custom Data
- Create NAME.lql (any name) file in a folder.
- Create NAME.json (any name, must match lql file name) in folder.
- run the
lytics watchcommand from the folder with files. - Edit .lql, or .json files, upon change the evaluated result of .lql, json will be output.
