This project provides basic API integration for using Mixpanel from .NET applications. I'm specifically building it with desktop analytics in mind but it should be useful for a wide range of analytics tracking scenarios.
If you have feature suggestions please open a github issue for them.
- Make basic calls to http://api.mixpanel.com/track and track events
- Seperate API wrappers for the Mixpanel data query API
First, I recommend looking at the specs since they pretty clearly demonstrate
the usage, scenarios and options. To get started with most of the sensible
default options first create a new Tracker
var tracker = new Tracker("your API key");Tracking data can be done one of two ways, first, by sending properties in a dictionary.
var properties = new Dictionary<string, object>();
properties["something"] = "some data";
properties["something else"] = 5;
properties["time"] = DateTime.Now;
tracker.Track("My Event", properties);Alternatively, you can use a class which will have it's name and properties serialzied.
var trackingEvent = new MyEvent {
Something = "some data",
SomethingElse = 5,
Time = DateTime.Now
};
tracker.Track(trackingEvent);Because it is conventional for analytics tracking, all camel-case names are split with spaces inserted between words. This makes the reporting easier to understand.
If you want to serialize the names literally then you can set that by passing a
TrackerOptions class with LiteralSerialization = true in the constructor of
your Tracker.
