You can use a test mode with Stripe. You can run as many APIs as you want to generate data. Am I missing something?



Yes you're right. In the Github link in the post, that's what they do as well. It helps to a small degree, but it's not nearly enough data for building an analytics app.

I was hoping there would be a dataset that would follows real world patterns vs whatever I generate from my understanding of the api.


What real world patterns though?

Your traffic, stats, and bounce rates, returning customer rates will vary practically 100% depending on:

- If you sell a good physical product

- If you dropship utter rubbish and advertise on Instagram spam stories where people buy a single thing and never come back or chargeback instead

- Digital items for games for adults

- Digital items for games for kids
