What Web Analytics Sites/Software Have a Good API Besides Google Analytics

I cannot use Google analytics because of their limitations on the API. They will not allow me to query more then 10,000 entries in one day. Since I have more then 10,000 pages Google Analytics will not work for me unless there is a way around that 10,000 limitation. I need to pull statistics on all my pages daily and it will be over 10,000 pages

I have already tried:

  • OmniTure: too Expensive -- 1000/month
  • Visistat: API is not mature enough
  • Piwik: API not mature enough
  • Programming it myself: Will take too long and will require more resources from my server
Solution

  • It may be impractical given the size of your site and the extent of the analytics you require, but have you considered analysing the raw IIS logfiles? Either suck them into SQL for processing or use a third party product like WebTrends Log Analyser.
