@openpanel/plausible-exporter

Export your Plausible ClickHouse data to a CSV which you can use for migrating to OpenPanel.dev.

Install / Run

Use npx with a ClickHouse URL:

npx @openpanel/plausible-exporter "http://localhost:8123/plausible_events_db" --output export.csv --job-id 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000

Filter by site_id:

npx @openpanel/plausible-exporter "http://localhost:8123/plausible_events_db" --site-id 2 --output export.csv

Or via env vars:

export DATABASE_URL="http://localhost:8123/plausible_events_db"
export OUTPUT=export.csv
export JOB_ID=00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000
export SITE_ID=2  # optional
npx @openpanel/plausible-exporter

Output format

Header and column order:

"timestamp","name","site_id","user_id","session_id","hostname","pathname","referrer","referrer_source","country_code","country_name","screen_size","operating_system","browser","utm_medium","utm_source","utm_campaign","utm_content","utm_term","browser_version","operating_system_version","subdivision1_code","subdivision1_name","subdivision2_code","city_geoname_id","city_name","revenue_reporting_amount","revenue_reporting_currency","revenue_source_amount","revenue_source_currency","channel","meta.key","meta.value","job_id"

• All values are quoted and escaped per RFC4180 CSV format.
• Null values are rendered as empty fields.
• timestamp is the event timestamp from events_v2.timestamp.
• country_name, subdivision1_name, and city_name come from JOINs with location_data table.
• meta.key and meta.value are JSON stringified arrays from events_v2.meta.key and events_v2.meta.value.
• job_id is a constant per run (env/flag), appended to each row.

Flags

• --output, -o Output file path (default: export.csv)
• --job-id Job id to append to each row (default: empty string)
• --site-id Filter by site_id (optional, exports all sites if not specified)
• --batch-size Number of rows per paginated query (default: 50000)

Notes

This package needs access to your ClickHouse database. The connection string format is:

http://[username:password@]host:port/database

Examples:

• http://localhost:8123/plausible_events_db
• http://user:[email protected]:8123/plausible_events_db

The exporter queries the events_v2 table and joins with location_data to include country, region, and city names. It does not include imported data tables.

Ensure you have correct credentials and that the ClickHouse server is accessible from your network.
