Overview

The Data Pipelines API contains a list of endpoints that are supported by Mixpanel that help you create and manage your data pipelines. Check out our guide on Raw Export Pipeline and Schematized Export Pipeline to learn more.

A pipeline is an end-to-end unit that is created to export Mixpanel data and move it into a data warehouse.

Data Pipeline Types

Mixpanel currently supports Raw Export Pipeline and Schematized Export Pipeline. When you create a pipeline, the type parameter determines whether a schematized or a raw data pipeline is created.

Schematized Export Pipeline

The schematized export pipeline is a fully managed pipeline that includes transformations and scheduling. Visit Schematized Export Pipeline for more information.

Raw Export Pipeline

The raw export pipeline is a scheduled export that moves your unaltered Mixpanel data to an object storage destination. Visit Raw Export Pipeline for more information.

Configure the Destination to Receive Mixpanel Data

Before exporting data from Mixpanel you must configure your data warehouse to accept the data.

For additional information on configuring the Mixpanel export for each type of object storage and data warehouse, see the available options in Raw Export Pipeline and Schematized Export Pipeline.

Create a Data Pipeline

Once you have configured your destination, you can use the API to create your pipeline.
