Can I track how often and who have viewed the shared channel of mine for a day or a month if I shared my private channels with others on ThingSpeak or ThingView?

Thanks in advance.

There are ways to do this -- specifically, you can set up a MATLAB visualization on the channel that when loaded increments a field on a different channel. While not exact, it should start to show you how many times your channel has been viewed.

Thanks for your answer!! Could I still not figure out who have checked my channel?

[Vinod]

As of April 2021, ThingSpeak does not allow you to track that information. If you've shared a channel privately, the user you've shared it with has access to the channel view.

Can you tell me more about your use case?

[Jaewoo Lee]

I would want to know how often indiviuals monthly checked the shared channels in addition to the channel owner. I guess that the individuals' access frequency might be related to variables of interest (e.g., their own performance) in my research.

One more, do the counts of a channel's veiws include the channel owner's? (from the aforementioned "how many times your channel has been viewed ")

Thank you for your help, Mr. Vinod!
