Analytics Data Feed overview

Data feeds are a powerful way to get raw data out of Adobe Analytics. This raw data can be used in other platforms outside of Adobe to use at your organization’s discretion. Data is delivered in hourly batches at the conclusion of each hour, or in daily batches at the conclusion of each day.

Prerequisites

Make sure that you meet all the following requirements before using data feeds.

• A working implementation that sends data to Adobe data collection servers. See Validate and publish an implementation in the Implementation guide.
• Your account is an Analytics product admin, or your account belongs to a product profile with access to data feeds.
• A bucket configured on Amazon S3, Google Cloud Platform, Azure RBAC, or Azure SAS.
• (Legacy: Required only for legacy FTP and SFTP destination types) Have an FTP site and credentials handy (FTP credentials provided by your organization.)
