Datafy

aid: datafy
name: Datafy
description: Datafy is a location-analytics and advertising platform, founded in 2018 and headquartered in Ogden, Utah, that
  helps destinations and communities turn visitation, spending, and behavioral signals into marketing decisions. It serves
  travel and tourism boards, attractions, downtowns, retail partners, and civic organizations with three core offerings —
  data analytics, targeted advertising, and real-world attribution — alongside Tally, a hardware attendance-measurement sensor.
  Datafy does publish a public API reference at https://www.datafy.com/docs covering the Datafy Data API, a self-described
  beta JSON-over-HTTP reporting API at api.datafy.com with three endpoints (data, options, progress), authenticated by a 30-day
  portal-issued bearer JWT that a customer-experience representative must unlock before the API Access page becomes visible.
  No OpenAPI, SDK, package, or self-service signup is published, and the company's widest developer-touching surface is its
  per-customer measurement tag family — website pixel, 1x1 media impression pixels, and click tags. The company reports 500+
  clients and holds a SOC 2 Type II certification from A-LIGN.

  description: 'The Datafy Data API is a beta JSON-over-HTTP reporting API that returns aggregated visitation analytics for
    a destination. It is RPC-shaped rather than resource-shaped: three fixed endpoints, with the request body — not the path
    — selecting what comes back. POST / generates or retrieves a dataset from a single envelope of levels, filters and limits;
    POST /options enumerates the levels, level values and authorized destinations a token is entitled to; GET /progress reports
    how many data requests are still in flight per destination. A request that has not been processed before is queued and
    answered with a status message, and the caller re-sends the identical body to collect the result. Responses most often
    carry four standard KPIs — Total Trips, Visitor Days, Unique Visitors and Avg Trip Length — with privacy filtering and
    level-dependent weighted averaging applied inside the response. Access is by a user-specific 30-day bearer JWT generated
    in the Datafy portal, and Datafy states the API is "provided as a convenience and an alternative to receiving a scheduled
    report directly from the Datafy Team".'

    docs_describe: https://www.datafy.com/docs names the base URL https://api.datafy.com/, three endpoints (/, /options, /progress),
      the Authorization header scheme, the full JSON request envelope (destination, levels, filters, limits) with worked cURL
      / JavaScript / Python examples, and the response semantics.
    endpoint_check: 'All three documented endpoints answer live. GET https://api.datafy.com/ and GET https://api.datafy.com/progress
      and POST https://api.datafy.com/options each returned HTTP 500 "Error: No authorization token was found" anonymously;
      a malformed bearer returned "jwt malformed" and an unaccepted bearer returned "invalid token" — real, distinguishable
      application responses from a live API server, not a parked host or marketing page.'
    spec_published: false
    note: 'The prior round of this profile recorded "does not currently publish a public developer API, SDKs, or API documentation."
      That was wrong on two of the three counts and is corrected here: the public API documentation and the live API host
      both exist. No SDK exists.'
