Download Hub

Downloads hub is a unified report hub functionality available within the Partner Center User Interface, which addresses your reporting needs for all supported programs in Insights. All reports are organized in one place for you to customize and download in order to help you to make data-driven decisions for your business.

Programmatic APIs to access datasets of Download Hub

Use the API functionality to access the Download Hub datasets programmatically. Schedule custom reports and ingest key data sets into your internal analytics systems. You can effectively monitor acquisition, health, and install data for your products.

The programmatic APIs enable you to schedule custom reports of your analytics data asynchronously. This capability allows you to define reporting queries/templates based on your needs, set a schedule, and receive timely and trustworthy reports at scheduled intervals.

The key value of programmatic access is customized reporting and integration with internal BI systems and platforms.

Note

To connect to the Windows Dev Center content pack for Power BI, we recommend that you specify credentials from a Microsoft Entra directory that is associated with your Partner Center account. If you use your Microsoft account credentials, your analytics data in Power BI does not refresh automatically, and you must sign in to Power BI to refresh your data.
