Vectrail Documentation
Everything you need to integrate Vectrail and start generating insights.
1. Quick Start
Vectrail works by connecting to your existing APIs. No SDK lock-in. No schema rewriting. No data migration.
2. Install SDK (Optional but Recommended)
If you want easy project setup, auth, and embedded dashboard, install the SDK.
3. Initialize the SDK
Import and initialize the SDK inside your app.
4. Embed the Dashboard (Optional)
You can embed the Vectrail dashboard inside your app.
Common Use Cases
- Internal admin dashboards
- Ops / finance views
- Customer-facing analytics (controlled)
5. Add APIs
From the Vectrail Dashboard → Build Your Smart Analytics
For each API, provide:
- HTTP method
- Endpoint URL
- Headers / Auth (if any)
- Polling mode (manual / scheduled)
6. Confirm Schema
Before analytics start, confirm the schema.
- Mark fields as dimensions, metrics, time
- Ignore PII or noisy fields
- Lock schema versions
Once locked, metrics remain consistent and insights become comparable over time.
