Insights and analytics provides usage analytics for Docker Verified
Publisher (DVP) and Docker-Sponsored Open Source (DSOS) images on Docker Hub. This includes self-serve access to image and extension usage metrics for a desired time span. You can also display the number of image pulls by tag or by digest, and get breakdowns by geolocation, cloud provider, client, and more.

> Head to the
[Docker Verified Publisher Program](https://www.docker.com/partners/programs/) or [Docker-Sponsored Open Source](https://www.docker.com/community/open-source/application/#) pages
to learn more about the programs.

## View the image's analytics data

You can find analytics data for your repositories on the **Insights and
analytics** dashboard at the following URL:
`https://hub.docker.com/orgs/{namespace}/insights/images`. The dashboard contains a
visualization of the usage data and a table where you can download
the data as CSV files.

To view data in the chart:

- Select the data granularity: weekly or monthly
- Select the time interval: 3, 6, or 12 months
- Select one or more repositories in the list

> [!TIP]

> Hovering your cursor over the chart displays a tooltip, showing precise data
> for points in time.

### Share analytics data

You can share the visualization with others using the **Share** icon above the chart.
This is a convenient way to share statistics with others in your organization.

![Chart share icon](./images/chart-share-icon.png)

Selecting the icon generates a link that's copied to your clipboard. The link
preserves the display selections you made. When someone follows the link, the
**Insights and analytics** page opens and displays the chart with the same
configuration as you had set up when creating the link.

## Extension analytics data

If you have published Docker Extensions in the Extension marketplace, you can also get analytics about your extension usage, available as CSV files.
You can download extension CSV reports from the **Insights and analytics** dashboard at the following URL:
`https://hub.docker.com/orgs/{namespace}/insights/extensions`. If your Docker namespace contains extensions known in the marketplace, you will see an **Extensions** tab listing CSV files for your extension(s).

## Exporting analytics data

You can export the analytics data either from the web dashboard, or using the
[DVP Data API](/reference/api/hub/dvp.md). All members of an organization have access to the analytics data.

The data is available as a downloadable CSV file, in a weekly (Monday through
Sunday) or monthly format. Monthly data is available from the first day of the
following calendar month. You can import this data into your own systems, or you
can analyze it manually as a spreadsheet.

### Export data

Export usage data for your organization's images using the Docker Hub website by following these steps:

1.  Sign in to [Docker Hub](https://hub.docker.com/) and select **Organizations**.

2.  Choose your organization and select **Insights and analytics**.

    ![Organization overview page, with the Insights and Analytics tab](./images/organization-tabs.png)

3.  Set the time span for which you want to export analytics data.

    The downloadable CSV files for summary and raw data appear on the right-hand
    side.

### Export data using the API

The HTTP API endpoints are available at:
`https://hub.docker.com/api/publisher/analytics/v1`. Learn how to export data
using the API in the [DVP Data API documentation](/reference/api/hub/dvp.md).

## Data points

Export data in either raw or summary format. Each format contains different data
points and with different structure.

The following sections describe the available data points for each format. The
**Date added** column shows when the field was first introduced.

### Image pulls raw data

The raw data format contains the following data points. Each row in the CSV file
represents an image pull.

### Image pulls summary data

There are two levels of summary data available:

- Repository-level, a summary of every namespace and repository
- Tag- or digest-level, a summary of every namespace, repository, and reference
  (tag or digest)

The summary data formats contain the following data points for the selected time
span:

| Data point        | Description                                             | Date added        |

| Owner             | The name of the organization that owns the repository.  | December 19, 2022 |

### Image pulls action classification rules

An action represents the multiple request events associated with a
`docker pull`. Pulls are grouped by category to make the data more meaningful
for understanding user behavior and intent. The categories are:

- Version check
- Pull by tag
- Pull by digest

Automated systems frequently check for new versions of your images. Being able
to distinguish between "version checks" in CI versus actual image pulls by a
user grants you more insight into your users' behavior.

The following table describes the rules applied for determining intent behind
pulls. To provide feedback or ask questions about these rules,

### Extension Summary data

There are two levels of extension summary data available:

- Core summary, with basic extension usage information: number of extension installs, uninstalls, and total install all times

The core-summary-data file contains the following data points for the selected time
span:

| Data point        | Description                                             | Date added        |
| ----------------- | ------------------------------------------------------- | ----------------- |
| Installs          | Number of installs for the extension                    | Feb 1, 2024       |
| TotalInstalls     | Number of installs for the extension all times          | Feb 1, 2024       |

## Changes in data over time

The insights and analytics service is continuously improved to increase the
value it brings to publishers. Some changes might include adding new data
points, or improving existing data to make it more useful.

Changes in the dataset, such as added or removed fields, generally only apply
from the date of when the field was first introduced, and going forward.

Refer to the tables in the [Data points](#data-points) section to see from which
date a given data point is available.

## Privacy

The image pulls summary dataset includes unique IP address count. This data point only
includes the number of distinct unique IP addresses that request an image.
Individual IP addresses are never shared.

The image pulls raw dataset includes user IP domains as a data point. This is the domain name
associated with the IP address used to pull an image. If the IP type is
`business`, the domain represents the company or organization associated with
that IP address (for example, `docker.com`). For any other IP type that's not
`business`, the domain represents the internet service provider or hosting
provider used to make the request. On average, only about 30% of all pulls
classify as the `business` IP type (this varies between publishers and images).
