# Segment by event with breakdown
curl -s "https://data.mixpanel.com/api/2.0/segmentation?project_id=$MIXPANEL_PROJECT_ID&event=Sign%20Up&from_date=2026-03-01&to_date=2026-03-21&unit=day" \
  -u "$MIXPANEL_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_USERNAME:$MIXPANEL_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_SECRET"

Key Concepts

• Events: User actions tracked in your product (clicks, purchases, sign-ups)
• Distinct ID: Unique identifier per user in Mixpanel
• Funnels: Conversion paths (e.g. View → Add to Cart → Purchase)
• Retention: How often users return after a trigger event
• Cohorts: Groups of users with common behaviors for analysis

Agent Use Cases

• Daily growth briefing: events for yesterday's top events + unique users
• Conversion monitoring: segmentation on key events (sign-up → activation)
• Funnel regression alerts: funnel comparison week-over-week
• User debugging: profile lookup when investigating support issues
• Weekly retention report: retention on 7-day and 30-day windows

Notes

• Data Export API has a rate limit of 60 requests/hour
• Raw event export can return large datasets — use --limit to cap
• Funnel IDs are found in Mixpanel UI URL: /report/funnels/XXXX
• All dates should be in YYYY-MM-DD format
