How to get an endpoint in Metricool to make API calls
How to get an endpoint
You can extract an endpoint from any section of Metricool where data or metrics are displayed — for example, Analytics, Planner, or Ads.
This process helps you identify the route Metricool uses to make requests and use it as a reference when building your own API calls.
- Make sure you have API access
Before starting, make sure you have access to the API.
To do so, go to your account settings and click on the API tab. Keep in mind that this feature is only available for Advanced or Custom plans.
- Open the section you want to analyze
Go to the Metricool section where you want to get the metric or data — for example, a social network under Analytics.
- Open your browser’s developer tools
Right-click anywhere on the page and select Inspect. This will open your browser’s developer tools.
- Go to the “Network” tab
In the panel that opens, select the Network tab (or Red, depending on your browser language).
- Filter by Fetch/XHR
Click on Fetch/XHR to see only the requests Metricool sends to the server.
- Identify the correct request
Perform an action within Metricool that triggers a new data load, such as changing the date range or applying a filter. You’ll see new requests appear in the list.
Look for the one that matches the network or section you’re working on. When you click on it, you’ll see the endpoint details: the URL, method (GET/POST), and parameters used.
- Set up your API call
Now you have the first step to make an API call: getting the endpoint.
From here, you’ll need to configure the required parameters (such as blog ID, user ID, or other fields) depending on the type of call you want to make.
