    The Mixpanel Export API allows you to export your raw event data as it is received and stored within Mixpanel, complete with all event properties (including distinct_id) and the exact timestamp the event was fired source. When exporting events via the API, the exported payloads are raw events, containing timestamps as they are stored in your project source. For exporting user profile data, the Engage API is used. By default, all profile properties are returned. However, you can use the output_properties parameter to specify specific profile properties to return source.In the case of exporting events as a CSV from the Events tab in the Mixpanel UI, only the columns that are shown in the UI will be exported. You can modify the properties columns shown in the Events table by clicking the “Edit Columns” button source.So, the data you get from the Export API depends on the specific API endpoint you're using and the parameters you provide in your request.

    Based on the code snippet you've provided, it appears you're trying to use Mixpanel's Export API to retrieve data. However, the URL you're using seems to be incorrect. The correct endpoint for the Mixpanel Export API is [https://data.mixpanel.com/api/2.0/export/](https://data.mixpanel.com/api/2.0/export/).Here's how your code should look: LBKSurl = f"[https://data.mixpanel.com/api/2.0/export/?from_date={date}&to_date={date}](https://data.mixpanel.com/api/2.0/export/?from_date={date}&to_date={date})" headers = { "Accept-Encoding": "gzip", "accept": "text/plain", "authorization": f"Basic {auth_header}" }LBKSPlease note that the project_id parameter is not required in the request URL. The project is determined by the API Secret used in the authorization header.Also, if your project data is stored in the EU, you should use the EU data residency endpoint [https://data-eu.mixpanel.com/api/2.0/export/](https://data-eu.mixpanel.com/api/2.0/export/).Please refer to the Mixpanel Export API documentation for more details.

    When using the Mixpanel Export API, it automatically exports all event properties. There is no need to specify that you require all event properties in the API endpoint. The exported data will include all properties associated with each event.Here's an example of how you might use the Export API: LBKSurl = f"[https://data.mixpanel.com/api/2.0/export/?from_date={date}&to_date={date}](https://data.mixpanel.com/api/2.0/export/?from_date={date}&to_date={date})" headers = { "Accept-Encoding": "gzip", "accept": "text/plain", "authorization": f"Basic {auth_header}" }LBKSIn this example, {date} should be replaced with the date range you're interested in, and {auth_header} should be replaced with your Mixpanel project's API Secret, which is used for authorization.Please refer to the Mixpanel Export API documentation for more details.

    To create a service account for a specific project, you can use the "Create Service Account" API endpoint. When creating the service account, you can specify the project ID in the 'projects' field of the request body.Here's an example of how you might do this: LBKS{ "username": "your_service_account_name", "role": "your_desired_role", "projects": [ { "id": your_project_id, "role": "your_desired_role_for_this_project" } ] }LBKSIn this example, replace your_service_account_name with the name you want to give to the service account, your_desired_role with the role you want to assign to the service account (options are 'owner', 'admin', 'analyst', 'consumer'), and your_project_id with the ID of the project you want to add the service account to.The endpoint for this request is POST /organizations/{organizationId}/service-accounts, where {organizationId} should be replaced with your organization's ID.Please refer to the Mixpanel Service Accounts API documentation for more details.

    If you create a service account within Mixpanel, you can manage it in your organization's settings under the Service Accounts tab. Here, you can view and create service accounts, select their roles, and assign them to specific projects. When creating a service account, you will be asked to select the role and granted projects of the service account from the organization's settings page. Deleting a service account from the organization will immediately revoke access to all projects in the organization.You can also manage service accounts in your project settings. Any service account you create from the project settings page will automatically be assigned an admin role. Deleting a service account will revoke access only from that project.It's important to note that you should save your service account secret somewhere secure as you won't be able to access it again after creation.For more details, please refer to the Mixpanel Service Accounts documentation.

    Yes, in Mixpanel, each event can be uniquely identified using the $insert_id property. The $insert_id provides a unique identifier for the event, which Mixpanel uses for deduplication. Events with identical values for (event, time, distinct_id, insert_id": "5d958f87-542d-4c10-9422-0ed75893dc81", "distinct_id": "john.doe@​gmail.com" } }```In this example, the $insert_id is "5d958f87-542d-4c10-9422-0ed75893dc81", which uniquely identifies this event.For more details, please refer to the Mixpanel Ingestion API documentation.
