# Base Analytics: Sales Reports, GMV, and Margin Analysis

> Base Analytics provides daily sales reports, GMV tracking, margin analysis, and channel filters — built directly into the Base.com panel.

Base Analytics is a reporting add-on built directly into Base.com. It syncs with your Base panel automatically and provides daily-updated sales data without any additional configuration or external tools.

## Relationship to the API

Base Analytics is currently primarily a **panel application** — you view the data directly in the Base.com interface. The Base API (`api.baselinker.com`) does not have a dedicated block of methods specifically for Base Analytics data.

If you need similar metrics in your own reporting pipeline via the API, you can assemble them from existing data sources:

| What you need                 | Where to get it                                     |
| ----------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------- |
| Orders and their values       | [Downloading Orders](/orders/downloading-orders)    |
| Returns                       | [Downloading Returns](/returns/downloading-returns) |
| Sale prices and product costs | [Prices & Stock](/products/prices-and-stock)        |

<Note>
  If you need Base Analytics data outside the panel — for example, for export, a direct API feed, or connecting to a BI tool — reach out to the Base implementation team. They can confirm what options are currently available, which may expand over time.
