Switch from Simple Analytics

misomoon reads Simple Analytics' raw export as you download it: every pageview and event, counted into visits by their session. Without the Export API, the Stats API gives a smaller set of daily totals, which you write into misomoon's CSV files yourself. Your tracking calls keep their names: sa_event('click_signup') becomes misomoon('click_signup'). Metadata stays behind.

#Add misomoon next to Simple Analytics

1. Add your site in misomoon and paste its script tag into the <head> of every page, next to Simple Analytics' latest.js (Track your site).
2. Leave both scripts on for a week or two, until misomoon's numbers look right to you.

The visitor counts differ by design. Simple Analytics counts a visitor for each pageview that arrives from another site or with no referrer, so its visitors equal its visits. misomoon counts a person once a day (A visitor id lasts one UTC day). A person who comes back from a search later that day counts twice in Simple Analytics and once in misomoon.

#Replace Simple Analytics' calls

Keep Simple Analytics' event names. Imported events keep their names, so the days before and after the switch add up under one name.

The data-misomoon-* attributes need Tagged events, which a new site has on (Choose what to track). Simple Analytics has no revenue call, so revenue starts in misomoon. Pass revenue on the purchase event (Track revenue), or connect a payment provider. Pick one of the two per sale, or each sale counts twice.

If a tag manager loads Simple Analytics, replace that tag with misomoon's script tag (install with a tag manager).

Goals and funnels don't move. Add each goal again in Settings > Goals (Create a goal), and each funnel in Funnels (Build a funnel). A goal counts the events misomoon already collected, so you can add it at any time.

#Bring your history

misomoon skips the days it already counted (Days that count once). Ask for a range that ends today, or end it the day before you added misomoon to make fewer requests.

What you can bring depends on your plan. On the Free plan, Simple Analytics keeps 30 days and has no Stats API, so skip the import. On the Simple plan, the Stats API gives daily totals. The raw export needs the Export API, which the Simple plan doesn't include.

#Export the raw data points

If your plan has the Export API, call GET /api/export/datapoints with your key in the Api-Key header, once for page views and once for events, and upload both files together.

1. Set version=6, format=csv, hostname to your site, start and end to whole days, timezone to the misomoon site's Timezone (Sites), and robots=false.
2. Set fields to added_iso, hostname, path, is_unique, referrer_hostname, utm_source, utm_medium, utm_campaign, utm_content, utm_term, duration_seconds, scrolled_percentage, country_code, browser_name, browser_version, os_name, os_version, device_type, and session_id, and type=pageviews.
3. Ask again with fields set to added_iso, hostname, datapoint, path, and session_id, and type=events.
4. In misomoon, open Settings > Integrations, click Upload CSV or zip, and pick both files, or a ZIP of them.

curl -H "Api-Key: $SA_KEY" -o pageviews.csv \
  "https://simpleanalytics.com/api/export/datapoints?version=6&format=csv&hostname=example.com&start=2026-01-01&end=2026-03-31&timezone=Europe/Amsterdam&robots=false&type=pageviews&fields=added_iso,hostname,path,is_unique,referrer_hostname,utm_source,utm_medium,utm_campaign,utm_content,utm_term,duration_seconds,scrolled_percentage,country_code,browser_name,browser_version,os_name,os_version,device_type,session_id"

misomoon counts the rows as its tracker counts visits (Raw event exports). An export without session_id fails with this Simple Analytics export has no session_id column; export it again with session_id among the fields.

#Use the Stats API on the Simple plan

Call GET https://simpleanalytics.com/<hostname>.json?version=6 once for each day, with start and end both set to that day, limit=1000, and fields set to pageviews, visitors, pages, referrers, countries, browser_names, os_names, and device_types. Each list item has value, pageviews, and visitors.

Leave out the UTM lists. Each comes as its own list, and a row with no source would add its visits to Direct a second time. A list stops at 1,000 values a day.

#Upload the Stats API files

1. Zip the files as simple-analytics-history.zip, with imported_visitors.csv among them.
2. In misomoon, open Settings > Integrations, click Upload CSV or zip, and pick simple-analytics-history.zip.

From the Stats API, an empty bounces counts as 0, so the imported days lower the bounce rate of any period that includes them. Imported days appear only in reports without filters (What imported data fills). If you uploaded the wrong file, delete the import and upload again.

#Remove Simple Analytics

Once the import shows in misomoon, remove latest.js, auto-events.js, and the sa_event calls. The Simple plan keeps your data for 3 years, so keep your files and export again while you need to.

#What stays behind

• Metadata. misomoon imports events without properties.
• Regions and cities. Simple Analytics records countries only.
• From the Stats API, bounces, exit pages, UTM tags, browser and operating system versions, time on page, and scroll depth. The API gives only a median time on page.
• Goals and funnels. Add them again in misomoon.

Checked on 2026-10-26.

The raw export import was tested on one real day of Simple Analytics' own public dashboard, 2026-10-20, read from its Export API on 2026-10-26. misomoon counted the 625 visitors the export marks with is_unique, and all 817 page views, in 685 visits.
