Introduction
Cafe24 is a Korean e-commerce platform that helps merchants run their direct-to-consumer storefronts. Cafe24 Analytics is the analytics surface of that platform — the pre-aggregated session, sales, product, ad-effect, and visit-path numbers that mall owners see inside Cafe24’s own analytics dashboard. This connector reads from the Cafe24 Data API (cafe24data.com), not the commerce Admin REST API. The data it returns is the same set of pre-aggregated reports Cafe24 ships in the merchant console: visitor sessions, page views, traffic sources, daily active visitors, product views and sales, cart actions, payment methods, sales-per-visitor analyses, and visit-path attribution. Many teams pair it with the Cafe24 commerce connector, which surfaces raw orders and products.
As an analytics connector, session, event, and breakdown data are standardized so widgets can aggregate alongside ad-platform sources without additional configuration. To connect this data source, see How to connect Cafe24 Analytics to Adriel.
Data refresh strategy
Architecture data
Mall discovery and shop metadata are fetched at connection time and refreshed alongside the OAuth token. The Cafe24 Analytics endpoint catalog itself is registered statically in the connector (23 report endpoints plus six computed metrics) and does not change without a connector update.Reports data
Cafe24 Analytics is a daily-cache connector backed by a JSON daily cache:- Initial fetch: when the data source is created, the last 90 days of daily data are loaded into the cache.
- Daily refresh: the cache is refreshed twice daily, at 02:00 UTC and 14:00 UTC. Each cycle re-syncs the most recent 3 days of data.
- History window: data older than the 90-day initial backfill is not available from cache.
Architecture levels
Mall (mall_id) → Shop / User (user_id) → Report endpoint → Row
Each Cafe24 Data API report endpoint is a separate reporting surface; a single query targets one endpoint and returns its rows for the selected date range.
Date range limits
These caps are enforced per query and depend on the selected time breakdown. Longer historical pulls must be split into multiple queries, and data older than the 90-day initial backfill is not retained in cache.
Metrics
Cafe24 Analytics is a schema-flexible source. The fields below are the standard fields Adriel exposes; the exact fields you can report on depend on your Cafe24 Analytics data. Data type uses Adriel’s vocabulary; API Key in code style is the literal source field; italic marks a value Adriel derives.

Limitations
- One breakdown per query. Each endpoint exposes exactly one grouping column. Widgets that combine more than one non-time breakdown are rejected with
INVALID_DIMENSIONS_METRICS_COMBINATION. The reservedchannelvalue is stripped internally before execution. - Metrics depend on the selected breakdown. Because each report family is a separate endpoint, the available metrics change with the chosen breakdown; metrics from one endpoint cannot be mixed with a different endpoint’s breakdown.
- 90-day history. Only the last 90 days are backfilled into cache at connection time; older data is not available.
- Per-query date-range caps. Daily queries cap at 60 days, weekly at 12 weeks, and monthly at 12 months. Longer ranges must be split.
- Throttled, serialized fetching. Requests are paced to one per 500 ms per asset and worker concurrency is forced to one, so large queries are paced rather than parallelized.
- Pre-aggregated source. Values are Cafe24’s own pre-aggregated dashboard numbers and may differ from raw order-level figures surfaced by the Cafe24 commerce connector.
