# Raw hits

> Every tracked pixel hit as recorded, unfiltered across all event types.

## What it is

The **Raw hits** dataset is the rawest dump: one row per tracking-pixel hit recorded for your space within the window, **unfiltered** across all event types (page views and everything else). It comes straight off the hits table with **no joins**.

* **Grain:** one row per hit (`id`).
* **Windowed on:** `event_time_utc` (UTC timestamp).
* **Path segment:** `raw_hits`.

Two things differ from the other raw datasets:

* **Host, path, and query are separate columns** (not combined into a single `event_url`), because path-level grouping is the primary use of page-view data.
* **`event_name` is locked on** — an unfiltered, all-event-types dump would be ambiguous without it.
