API Access: Export your Metricool data to other tools and automate tasks

The Metricool API lets you export your Metricool data to other tools and automate tasks like scheduling and publishing content. This article explains what the API is for, which plans include it, and where to manage it from your account.

What is the Metricool API for?

The Metricool API allows you to do two main things:

1. Export metrics to other tools like databases, CRMs, or your own custom dashboards.

• For example, you can use the API access to generate reports using our native Looker Studio connector.

Not sure whether to use the API or the MCP?

If you want an AI client to interact with your Metricool data using natural language, the Metricool MCP is the better fit. If you need to export data or automate tasks programmatically with external tools, use the API. See the full comparison in MCP vs API access: what is the difference?.
