Getting Started

Welcome to Metrika. This guide walks you through setting up your account and making your first API request.

Create an Account

Sign up at https://metrika.run. You will receive a confirmation email — click the link to activate your account.

If you do not see the email within a few minutes, check your spam folder. You can request a new confirmation email from the login page.

Generate an API Token

You can generate an API token right away — no subscription needed.

1. Log in to your dashboard
2. Navigate to API Tokens
3. Click Create Token
4. Give it a name so you can identify it later (e.g. “Production” or “Development”)
5. Copy the token immediately — it will not be shown again

You can create multiple tokens for different applications. Free tier accounts are limited to 25 requests per 30 days.

Subscribe (Optional)

A subscription unlocks full access: 3000 requests per minute, dashboard access, and all supported metrics. Without one, you’re still able to use the API within the free tier limits.

1. From your dashboard, click Subscriptions in the sidebar
2. Click New subscription
3. Complete the secure checkout via Stripe

Your subscription activates immediately after successful payment. There is a single plan at €2.99/month.

Make Your First Request

Use your API token to retrieve datapoints for one or more accounts across supported platforms:

curl -X POST https://metrika.run/api/v1/resources/search \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "resources": [
      {"platform": "instagram", "type": "account", "identifier": "natgeo"},
      {"platform": "youtube", "type": "account", "identifier": "mkbhd"}
    ]
  }'

Replace YOUR_TOKEN with the token you generated.

View Results

The API responds with datapoints for the requested accounts:

{
  "data": [
    {
      "platform": "instagram",
      "identifier": "natgeo",
      "status": "available",
      "metrics": {
        "followers": {
          "value": 284000000,
          "status": "available"
        }
      }
    },
    {
      "platform": "youtube",
      "identifier": "mkbhd",
      "status": "available",
      "metrics": {
        "followers": {
          "value": 18500000,
          "status": "available"
        }
      }
    }
  ]
}
