Yes, you can pull data analytics for apps listed on the Microsoft Store (Windows Store), but it typically requires access to the Microsoft Partner Center, which provides analytics and reporting tools for app developers.
Steps to Access Data Analytics from the Windows Store:
1. Sign in to Microsoft Partner Center
• You need a developer account to log in. Visit Microsoft Partner Center.
2. Navigate to Analytics Section
• Go to the “Analytics” section in the Partner Center dashboard.
• Available reports include Acquisitions, Usage, Ratings and Reviews, Payouts, and more.
3. Download Reports
• Microsoft Partner Center allows you to download analytics data for further analysis.
• Reports can typically be exported as CSV files for use in tools like Excel or Power BI.
4. Use APIs for Automation
Microsoft provides APIs to programmatically retrieve analytics data.
• Microsoft Store Analytics API: Enables app developers to access data such as acquisitions, usage, add-on sales, and customer demographics.
• API Documentation: Store Analytics API
Key Insights You Can Access:
• App Installations and Uninstallations
• User Demographics
• Engagement Metrics (e.g., session durations, active devices)

Additional Considerations:
• Permissions: Ensure you have the appropriate permissions to access the Partner Center and its analytics.
