Connecting data studio

Hi @theolg this is currently only possible when using our standalone Matomo On-Premise when it’s not installed as part of WordPress see our installation guide: https://matomo.org/docs/installation/

We have a guide for how to connect Matomo with Google Data Studio here: https://matomo.org/faq/new-to-piwik/how-to-import-matomo-data-in-to-google-data-studio/ but it only works with our Matomo On-Premise or Matomo Cloud.

This is because in our Matomo for WordPress plugin we have disabled our Matomo API as WordPress comes with it’s own API. It may be possible to connect Google Data Studio using the WordPress REST API and our WordPress API (see https://developer.matomo.org/api-reference/wordpress/restapi-reference) but I haven’t tested it. It basically depends if you can use the WordPress REST API with some authentication token in a URL. Sorry I don’t have more details/clear answer on this.

If it is a hard requirement then the best/easiest way would be using Matomo On-Premise and installing it separately for example next to WordPress. It’s also free see the differences between Matomo for WordPress and Matomo On-Premise: https://matomo.org/faq/wordpress/what-are-the-differences-between-matomo-on-premise-and-matomo-for-wordpress/
