In order to keep the event names clean, you should describe the action or the event as it happens. Also, consistency is key – you should decide on the casing to be used and the even spacing of the event names. Different businesses collect and name their data differently. However, it is highly recommended to use title casing and spaces instead of using camelCase or snake_case.

The Mixpanel API allows you to access and use the data that Mixpanel analyzes. This API is RESTful, and the responses are returned in JSON format. Mixpanel provides several types of APIs.

Refer to our step-by-step docs

Mixpanel's API supports a range of functionalities. With the Ingestion API, you can get your data, such as live events, historical imports, and user profile data, into Mixpanel. The Query API allows you to retrieve the same calculated data that powers Mixpanel's web application, including insights, funnels, retention, and custom JQL queries. The Raw Data Export API enables you to obtain your event data directly or by uploading to a cloud bucket. If you're looking to export Mixpanel data to your own data warehouse, the Data Pipelines API is the tool for you. It eliminates the need to build complex connectors, maintain exporting code, and apply ad-hoc data transformations. Finally, the Lexicon Schemas API is used to manage your data definitions in Lexicon and Data Audit​.

You can use Mixpanel's Connectors API or if you do not wish to deal with the API and its changes, you can use RudderStack. You can batch import large volumes of data into Mixpanel from a cloud bucket. This makes it easy to integrate extensive datasets into your Mixpanel workflow​.

Mixpanel offers the ability to create highly-customized dashboards that include a variety of visualization options. This includes drag-and-drop cards that can be resized, customizable dashboard descriptions, and the ability to filter by cohorts and properties. This makes it easy to distinguish trends and segments and view your metrics from any lens, all in one place. Additionally, you can set up email digests to receive weekly updates on any dashboard​.

Mixpanel enables user segmentation based on both actions they take and don't take within your product. Known as behavioral segmentation, this feature allows you to define cohorts of users who did not perform specific actions that you deem important. For example, users who placed an order last week, but did not this week. From there, you can sync the cohort to your engagement marketing tool of choice to deliver targeted communications like an email or push notification​1.
