Data Studio connector feature checklist

What makes the Porter Metrics Data Studio connector better than any other on the market.

01

Live API data

Porter queries the source API directly, so your data is always up-to-date. Turn on storage for extra speed and stability.

02

Unlimited historical data

Access your full source history with no cutoffs. Analyze trends over any time period without API limits.

03

Unlimited usage

Auto-switches to BigQuery backups when the source API rate-limits. Your reports never get blocked.

04

Speed and stability

BigQuery storage means lightning-fast loads and zero timeouts — even on year-over-year reports with 50+ accounts.

05

Multi-account at scale

Blend dozens of accounts of the same source into one unified table. Built for agencies managing many clients.

06

Transparent accuracy

Your numbers match the source manager exactly. Porter doesn’t transform, sample or reinterpret your data.

07

Full granularity

Segment by every metric and dimension the API exposes. No pre-cooked schemas, no hidden fields.

08

Cross-channel blending

Field names normalized across Meta, Google, LinkedIn, TikTok, GA4 and CRM so cross-channel reports just work.

FAQ

Common questions.

What is a Data Studio connector?
A Data Studio connector is a piece of software that brings data from a third-party tool (like Meta Ads or Shopify) into a Data Studio report, so you can build dashboards on top of it. Porter provides managed connectors that handle authentication, schema and rate limits for you.
Are Porter connectors native to Data Studio or third-party?
Porter connectors are partner connectors — they appear inside the Data Studio connector gallery automatically once you sign up. You don't need to install anything manually; just search "Porter" when adding a new data source in Data Studio.
Is there a free plan?
Yes. Porter's free plan gives you 3 ad accounts across any connectors with a 30-day data history. You can upgrade anytime without reconnecting accounts. Data Studio itself is also free.
How often does data refresh in Data Studio?
Porter refreshes data on a scheduled basis (hourly or daily depending on the source) and caches it for fast Data Studio loading. You can also force a refresh manually from your Porter dashboard.
How is Porter different from Supermetrics for Data Studio?
Porter is cheaper per connector, includes historical backfill by default, has unlimited report viewers (Supermetrics charges per user), and lets you send the same data to Data Studio, Sheets and BigQuery in one subscription.
Do I need to install anything in Data Studio?
No. Porter connectors are available inside the Data Studio partner connector gallery as soon as you create a Porter account. Just add a new data source inside Data Studio and search for the connector you need.
Can I blend multiple Porter connectors in one Looker dashboard?
Yes. Porter pre-standardizes field names across sources, so you can blend Meta Ads + Google Ads + GA4 (and more) in a single Data Studio report with matching campaign, date and UTM fields.
What if I hit the source's API rate limits?
Porter stores a BigQuery copy of your data as a safety net. If you hit Meta's, Google's or TikTok's API rate limits, Porter automatically falls back to the stored version so your dashboards keep working.
