 * Hi [@theolg](https://wordpress.org/support/users/theolg/) this is currently only
   possible when using our standalone Matomo On-Premise when it’s not installed 
   as part of WordPress see our installation guide: [https://matomo.org/docs/installation/](https://matomo.org/docs/installation/)
 * We have a guide for how to connect Matomo with Google Data Studio here: [https://matomo.org/faq/new-to-piwik/how-to-import-matomo-data-in-to-google-data-studio/](https://matomo.org/faq/new-to-piwik/how-to-import-matomo-data-in-to-google-data-studio/)
   but it only works with our Matomo On-Premise or Matomo Cloud.
 * This is because in our Matomo for WordPress plugin we have disabled our Matomo
   API as WordPress comes with it’s own API. It may be possible to connect Google
   Data Studio using the WordPress REST API and our WordPress API (see [https://developer.matomo.org/api-reference/wordpress/restapi-reference](https://developer.matomo.org/api-reference/wordpress/restapi-reference))
   but I haven’t tested it. It basically depends if you can use the WordPress REST
   API with some authentication token in a URL. Sorry I don’t have more details/
   clear answer on this.
 * If it is a hard requirement then the best/easiest way would be using Matomo On-
   Premise and installing it separately for example next to WordPress. It’s also
   free see the differences between Matomo for WordPress and Matomo On-Premise:
