PostHog Setup

Connect PostHog to Klairr.

Klairr queries PostHog via HogQL — a SQL dialect over ClickHouse. Authentication uses a Personal API key with read scope.

Step 1: Create a Personal API key

In PostHog: Settings → Personal API keys → Create personal API key. Give it a clear name (“Klairr read”) and a 90-day rotation cadence.

The key needs read scope only. Klairr does not request plugins:write, cohorts:write, feature_flags:write, or any organization-wide scope.

Step 2: Find your project ID

PostHog → Project settings. The numeric ID is shown at the top of the page.

Step 3: Add the connector

FieldExample
PostHog hosthttps://us.posthog.com

For self-hosted PostHog, use your origin (e.g. https://posthog.internal.example.com). For PostHog Cloud, use https://us.posthog.com (US) or https://eu.posthog.com (EU).

What Klairr queries

  • Schema comes from /api/projects/<id>/property_definitions/ — the project’s full event and person property taxonomy.
  • Question answering issues HogQL queries through /api/projects/<id>/query/. HogQL is read-only by design; Klairr also pre-checks every query for write keywords as a defence-in-depth layer.
  • Two virtual tables: events (event stream) and persons (identified users with merged distinct_ids).

Notes

  • HogQL function names mostly track ClickHouse; the prompt shipped to the LLM includes dialect hints.
  • Property values use dot-paths: properties.utm_campaign.
  • A server-side LIMIT is always applied — even if you ask for “all events”, Klairr returns the first N matching rows.
