What data can I add with the connector?

Facebook- Evolution and detailed data of posts, campaigns and ads.
Instagram- Evolution, historical detail of both posts and stories.

In general, you can add to your Looker Studio reports: any data, from any supported social network, that you can find in the Metricool interface. Even a few more.

You have data evolution (dimension is time), tables (posts, stories, tweets, etc.), competitors you have added to your Metricool account (both the summary table and its posts) and some demographic data.

Advertising platforms such as Facebook Ads, Google Ads, and TikTok Ads are also supported.

Here is a detailed list of what dimensions and metrics you will have available in the Metricool Looker Studio connector.

How does it work?

Create brands and connect social networks from the Metricool interface.
The Metricool Looker Studio connector allows you to use data from any of your brands and social networks associated with Metricool in your Looker Studio reports.

Therefore, you will first need to have a Metricool ADVANCED or CUSTOM account, create at least one brand and connect with Metricool all the social networks or Ad platforms that you intend to include in your report.

The rest of the work can be done in Looker Studio.

Connect your Metricool API Key
In Metricool, go to your Account Settings and copy your API Token. You’ll need to associate it with your Google Account (which you’ll be using Looker Studio with) with your Metricool account.

In Looker Studio, create a report and search for “Metricool” among the list of community connectors. The first time you do this from an unassociated Google account, you will be prompted for the API Token to associate that Google account with your Metricool account.

Once your account is associated, the process of creating data sources is simple. You’ll see your Metricool brands and the data types you can associate in the data source.

To add or remove brands, or connect new social networks, you must do so from the Metricool interface.

Create new data sources in Looker Studio
Set up new data sources by selecting the brand, network and data type you want to import.

Are there limits to the use of Looker Studio?

Metricool does not impose limits on the responsible use of the Looker Studio connector to access your brand data in your reports.

You can create unlimited reports that access the data of the brands you have configured in your Metricool account. There is no limitation on the size or the period, number of reports, or number of social network connections per brand.

The only limitation on the part of Metricool is the number of brands included in your ADVANCED or CUSTOM plan.

Likewise, Metricool has no control over the possible limitations that Looker Studio may impose on the amount of data you obtain from Metricool, the number of calls to our server or the time needed for response.

Since community connectors are based on Google Ads Scripts apps, here’s a reference to the possible limitations imposed by Google.
