Endpoints: turn a PostHog query into an API that powers your analytics
EndpointsBeta

Custom API endpoints powered by your PostHog data

Use them to build embedded analytics, data feeds, and more – no backend required. Endpoints are how your product's context flows out to the agents and tools that make it self-driving.

What does it do?

Endpoints turns any saved insight or SQL query into a stable, authenticated HTTP URL. You define the query once in PostHog – filters, breakdowns, variables, and all – and your app, agent, or internal tool fetches the results over HTTP. No custom analytics backend, no CSV exports on Monday, no Query API spaghetti. Versioning, caching, materialization, and an OpenAPI spec come with it.

Who is it for?

Endpoints is used across teams depending on your role.

Role
Use cases
Product Engineers
Ship customer-facing analytics or data feeds without building and owning an analytics API
PMs & ops
Turn a saved insight into a production URL – no ticket to data engineering required
AI / agent builders
Give MCP clients and agent runtimes stable HTTP access to live product context
Growth & marketing
Automate reports and rankings that used to mean CSV exports or brittle Query API calls
Data teams
Stop being the bottleneck on getting numbers out of PostHog and into other tools

How do I use it?

There are a few ways to explore Endpoints.

Manage endpoints from your editor

Create, run, version, and debug endpoints from Claude Code, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible agent.

Create and update endpoints
Create endpoints from a SQL or insight query, and list what already exists in the project.
Run with real variables
Execute an endpoint and read the rows back to check the response shape before writing client code.
Manage versions and logs
List saved versions with query snapshots, and read execution logs filtered by level, time range, or text.
Materialization and OpenAPI
Preview materialization, check status, ask for a rewrite when a query isn't eligible, and fetch an OpenAPI spec.

A dashboard powered by endpoints

Build your own dashboards

Use your PostHog data to power dashboards outside the PostHog UI.

Expose metrics as APIs
Create endpoints from insights or SQL and fetch the results from your application.
Use the queries you already have
Endpoints run the exact insight or SQL query defined in PostHog, including filters, breakdowns, and time range.
Designed to be called over and over
Endpoints are intended to be called regularly by dashboards, with higher rate limits than standard API queries.
