Data Studio [formerly Looker Studio] Connector v2

The v2 connector is built for agencies and multi-brand organizations. Connect all your brands to a single Looker Studio data source, compare visibility side by side, and optionally pull in agent traffic data — all without juggling separate connectors per brand.
Hero Pn
What’s new in v2:
  • Multi-brand support — connect 1 to 30+ brands in a single data source
  • Agent Traffic data — see which AI bots are crawling your site, how often, and where
  • Comparison fields — brand vs. competitor presence in a single chart
  • Smarter caching and parallel fetching — faster dashboards, even at scale
Looking for the original single-brand connector? See the v1 Looker Studio guide.

Install the Scrunch Data Connector

The connector is not yet in the public gallery. Install it directly using the link below:

Install Connector

Open the Scrunch Data Studio Connector

Configure Your Connection

When you open the connector, you’ll see a configuration screen with the following fields:
1

Enter your API key

Paste your Scrunch API key. You can provision one from:ScrunchOrganizationSettingsAPI Keys
When Data Studio shows the parameter checkboxes, do not check “Allow ‘API Key’ to be modified in reports.” This prevents your key from being exposed to report viewers.It is safe to check the override boxes for the other parameters:
  • Allow “Brand IDs” to be modified in reports
  • Allow “Site ID (optional)” to be modified in reports
  • Allow “Time Bucket” to be modified in reports
  • Allow “Path Filter (optional)” to be modified in reports
These let report viewers customize which brands and data slices they see without exposing your API key.
2

Enter your Brand IDs

Enter one or more brand IDs, separated by commas. For example: 46,47,48To find a brand ID, open the brand in Scrunch and look at the URL:https://app.scrunchai.com/org/.../b/1234/dashboardHere, 1234 is your Brand ID.
For agency dashboards, enter all client brand IDs here. The connector fetches them in parallel and labels each row with the brand name automatically.
3

(Optional) Enter a Site ID for Agent Traffic

If you want agent traffic data (which AI bots are crawling your site), enter your Site ID.Leave this blank if you only need AI visibility metrics (presence, position, sentiment).
You can find your Site ID in ScrunchBrandAgent TrafficSettings. If you haven’t set up Agent Traffic yet, skip this for now.
4

(Optional) Set Time Bucket and Path Filter

These only apply to Agent Traffic data:
  • Time Bucket — Choose Day or Week to control how traffic data is aggregated
  • Path Filter — Restrict results to a specific URL path (e.g., /blog to only see bot traffic to your blog)
5

Connect

Click Connect in the top right. Data Studio will load the schema and you’re ready to build.

Available Fields

The connector combines fields from two Scrunch APIs. Data Studio automatically routes your chart to the right API based on which fields you use.
You cannot mix Query API fields and Agent Traffic fields in the same chart. Use separate charts for each. The connector will show a clear error message if you accidentally combine them.

Query API Dimensions

brand_position_scoreNUMBERNUMBERRange: 1-100
brand_sentiment_scoreNUMBERNUMBERRange: 1-100
competitor_presence_percentageNUMBERPERCENTRequires a competitor dimension

Comparison Fields

These virtual fields let you compare brand and competitor presence in a single chart. When you add entity_name as a breakdown dimension, the connector automatically splits each row into a brand row and a competitor row.
NameTypeSemantic TypeNotes
entity_nameSTRINGTEXTBrand name or competitor name
entity_typeSTRINGTEXT”Brand” or “Competitor” — use to filter or color-code
presence_percentageNUMBERPERCENTUnified presence metric (brand or competitor depending on entity)
To build a brand vs. competitor comparison chart: use entity_name as your dimension, presence_percentage as your metric, and optionally filter or color by entity_type.

Agent Traffic Dimensions

These fields are only available when a Site ID is configured.
NameTypeSemantic TypeNotes
dateSTRINGYEAR_MONTH_DAYAgent Traffic only supports daily granularity
siteSTRINGTEXTThe site being crawled
pathSTRINGTEXTURL path
agent_sourceSTRINGTEXTBot identifier (e.g., GPTBot, ClaudeBot)
agent_typeSTRINGTEXTCategory of agent

Agent Traffic Metrics

agent_requestsNUMBERNUMBERNumber of requests

Multi-Brand Dashboards

The v2 connector is designed for comparing brands side by side. Here are some tips:
  • Use brand_name as a dimension to break down any metric by brand
  • Use brand_id for filtering when you want to isolate a specific brand in a chart
  • Comparison fields (entity_name, entity_type, presence_percentage) work per-brand — each brand’s competitors are included automatically
Brand names are automatically resolved from your Scrunch organization. If you see numeric IDs instead of names, make sure your API key has access to the brands you’ve configured.
