You might need raw (historical) data reports if you:

▪️ Want to upload historical data to your SplitMetrics Acquire account after enabling the AppsFlyer integration to monitor installs and post-install events for the earlier period.

▪️ Lost your data for some technical reasons and want to restore it.

▪️ Are investigating the causes of the discrepancy between AppsFlyer and SplitMetrics Acquire.

🔹 To download the raw data reports:

1. Log in to your AppsFlyer account.

2. Select the app and navigate to Export > Raw Data Export.

Choose the report you need to export:

- Retargeting (if available): conversions (re-engagements & re-attributions) and in-app events.


3. Click Create to open the dropdown menu and select Customize.

4. Choose the Activity date range.

5. Apply a filter by:

💡 Pro tip. By default, raw data exports from AppsFlyer have a limitation of 200,000 rows. If there are over 200,000 events for the date range you are using, please select the 500,000 or 1,000,000 rows options.
