👍Pro integration

Scheduled Data Exports are available to all users signed up after September '23, the legacy Grow and Pro plans, and Enterprise plans. If you're on a legacy Free or Starter plan and want to access this integration, migrate to our new pricing via your billing settings.

RevenueCat delivers your apps' data to a cloud storage provider on a schedule you control. Each Scheduled Data Export integration is made up of one or more feeds — datasets, each with its own column catalog. You choose which feeds to enable, which columns to include, what delivery cadence to run on, and whether to receive CSV or Parquet files. See Feeds for the datasets you can export today.

Feeds

A feed is a dataset that RevenueCat exports on a schedule. Each feed has its own column catalog in the dashboard and lands in its own location in your storage destination.

The feeds available today are:

Feed	Description	Output path
Transactions	Per-transaction subscriber and revenue data.	<base>/<date>/transactions_<timestamp>.<ext>
Virtual Currency	Per-row virtual currency ledger: balance adjustments with running balance.	<base>/virtual_currency/<date>/virtual_currency_<timestamp>.<ext>

<base> is the optional path prefix you configure on the integration (empty by default). Files are organized into dated subfolders such as 2023-01-01/. Each feed writes to its own subfolder so feeds never collide in the same destination — the exception is Transactions, which writes directly under <base> to keep existing integrations' paths stable. Parquet and multi-file deliveries use folder-based names instead of the single-file _<timestamp> suffix.

Enable feeds from the integration settings in the dashboard. You can enable any combination of the available feeds on a single integration.

📘Feeds share one storage connection

All feeds on an integration use the same storage connection. You configure the bucket and credentials once, and every feed you enable delivers to that same bucket — what changes per feed is only the path within the bucket (see the output paths above). Enabling an additional feed doesn't create a second connection or point to a different bucket; its files simply arrive under their own path alongside your other feeds.

Selecting columns

Each feed has a column catalog that lists every available column for that feed. You choose which columns belong in that feed's export, save, and future deliveries reflect that selection — past exports aren't rewritten. The default selection covers the most commonly used fields; you can expand or trim it at any time.

For step-by-step instructions, see Selecting columns for an export.

Export frequency

By default, exports run once per day. How much data each delivery contains depends on the feed:

• Incremental feeds can send only new and updated rows when Receive new and updated transactions only is enabled, which reduces the volume you process per delivery. On Enterprise plans, these feeds can be delivered every 4, 6, 8, 12, or 24 hours. For any cadence outside those options, contact your Customer Success Manager or visit our pricing page.
• Full-snapshot feeds re-export the entire dataset on each run and don't support incremental delivery.

Each feed's delivery behavior is noted in its section under Available feeds.

The date and time set in Next export start time is when the next export should start being generated — not when it will be delivered.

Output format

Scheduled Data Exports can deliver CSV or Parquet files. You can change the format from the integration settings in the dashboard.

CSV exports are gzip compressed, comma-delimited, and by default produced as a single file per delivery. For CSV exports larger than approximately 1 GB, enable Split export into multiple files to break each delivery into smaller files.

Parquet exports use Snappy compression and always produce multiple files per delivery; RevenueCat does not merge them.

Available feeds

The tables below list every column available for each feed. New integrations start with a default selection of the most commonly used columns; you can adjust each feed's selection from the column catalog in the dashboard. For step-by-step instructions, see Selecting columns for an export.

Transactions

Per-transaction subscriber and revenue data. Delivered to <base>/<date>/transactions_<timestamp>.<ext>. This is an incremental feed: with Receive new and updated transactions only enabled, each delivery includes just the rows that changed since the last one.

Virtual Currency

Per-row virtual currency ledger data. Delivered to <base>/virtual_currency/<date>/virtual_currency_<timestamp>.<ext>. This is a full-snapshot feed: each run re-exports the entire ledger and it doesn't support incremental delivery. To set up virtual currencies in your project before exporting them, see Virtual Currency.

The Virtual Currency feed exports one row per balance adjustment in your virtual currency ledger. Each row records a credit or debit, the running balance after that adjustment, and — when the adjustment originated from a store purchase — the associated purchase fields.

Purchase-related columns (store, is_sandbox, store_transaction_id, product_identifier, and price fields) are null on non-purchase rows. Refund columns (refund_amount_usd, refund_amount_in_purchased_currency, refund_type) are populated only on REFUND_REMOVAL rows with a positive refund delta.

All dates and times are provided in UTC.

A note on transaction data

The following guidance applies to the Transactions feed.

All transaction data is based on the store receipts that RevenueCat has received. Receipts often have inconsistencies and quirks that you may need to account for. For example:

• The expiration date of a purchase can be before the purchase date. This is Google's way of invalidating a transaction, for example when Google is unable to bill a user some time after a subscription renews. This doesn't occur on iOS.
• If you migrated to RevenueCat, Google subscriptions that were expired for more than 60 days before being migrated will not have transaction histories in export files.
• Apple and Google do not always provide the transaction price directly, so we rely on historical data and store APIs. This may result in inaccuracies if receipts were imported, or if a product price was increased before your App Store Connect API Key was added.
• Renewal numbers start at 1, even for trials. Trial conversions increase the renewal number.
• Data is pulled from a snapshot of the current receipt state. This means the same transaction can differ from one delivery to another if something changed (for example, due to a refund or billing issue). Recompute metrics for past time periods periodically to account for these changes, and use the updated_at field to detect whether a transaction changed since a prior export.
• Data is current as of when the export begins generating. Changes that occur between the start of generation and delivery aren't reflected in that export.

We try to normalize or at least annotate these quirks as much as possible, but by and large we consider receipts the source of truth, so any inconsistencies in the transaction data can always be traced back to the receipt.

Handling updated transactions correctly

These recommendations apply to the Transactions feed.

We strongly recommend keeping Receive new and updated transactions only enabled to significantly reduce the amount of data you need to process in each daily export.

However, handling transaction updates can be tricky, so consider these tips to make it easier:

1. For most stores, store_transaction_id will be unique for each transaction, but for Stripe it is not; so for best results we recommend treating every unique set of [store_transaction_id + renewal_number] as a unique transaction.
2. Instead of overwriting prior transaction states when receiving an updated transaction, consider adding them as new rows to your output table and setting a property like is_latest to ensure you're never double-counting different versions of the same transaction. Or, you could set an ingested_time property to order the transactions by the most recent version you received from RevenueCat.
3. When in doubt, use updated_at (provided by RevenueCat in your export) as a reference point to determine the latest version of a transaction if you have multiple prior versions and can't otherwise confidently determine which one is latest.

Sample queries for RevenueCat measures

The following sample queries use the Transactions feed. They are written in PostgreSQL and serve as starting points for reproducing common RevenueCat measures.

Active Subscriptions

-- Active Subscriptions as of a specified date

SELECT
  COUNT(*)
FROM
  [revenuecat_data_table]
WHERE date(effective_end_time) > [targeted_date]

  AND DATE_DIFF('s', start_time, end_time)::float > 0
  AND ownership_type != 'FAMILY_SHARED'
  AND store != 'promotional'
  AND is_sandbox != 'true'

-- The RevenueCat Active Subscriptions chart excludes trials,
-- promotional transactions, and transactions resulting from family sharing
-- since they do not reflect auto-renewing future payments.
