Required permissions for accessing non-PII aggregated data

Authentication & Access
1

I am trying to retrieve basic aggregated traffic analytics for merchants who have installed my public app (e.g., sessions breakdown by device, traffic by country). I do not need PII (names, emails, specific addresses).

The Query: I am running a standard query against the sessions dataset (via shopifyqlQuery). No customer fields are requested:

GraphQL

query TrafficByDevice {
  shopifyqlQuery(
    query: "FROM sessions SHOW sessions, device_type GROUP BY device_type SINCE last_30_days"
  ) {
    tableData {
      columns { name }
      rows
    }
  }
}

The Issue: Despite requesting zero PII, the API returns a blocking error stating that Level 2 access is required:

“Access denied for shopifyqlQuery field. Required access: read_reports access scope. Also: Level 2 access to Customer data including name, address, phone, and email fields.”

My Question: Is there another way I can get this aggregated Shopify Analytics traffic data without Level 2 access? Or has anyone successfully used shopifyqlQuery to get traffic/session data with only Level 1 access?

Thanks!
