Cookie-less tracking tool

Getting Started

Maximum flexibility allows seamless integration of Counterify's functionality into your websites or web applications for real-time tracking and analytics. You don't need to create counters upfront, If a counter doesn't exist, it will be created on the fly.

One public endpoint only:

https://api.counterify.com/count?apikey=[Your API Key]&label=[Counter Label]&value=[Value]

Parameters:

Authenticate your requests by including your API key as a query parameter.

apikey: [Your API Key]
label: String 255 chars max
value: Integer


Example Requests

For non-developers

Ping HTML Attribute

Use the HTML ping attribute to send a GET request when an element is clicked. Check ping attribute compatibility with browsers

<a href="#" ping="https://api.counterify.com/count?apikey=XYZ&label=ABC&value=10">Click me</a>

Browser Request

Directly use the URL in a browser to send a GET request:

https://api.counterify.com/count?apikey=XYZ&label=ABC&value=10

For Developers

It's a good practice to encapsulate the call into some backend function so your API key is not public, but it depends on the case. Ideally, you will make the request to an internal service, then this service will make the request to the Counterify API.

cURL Example

curl -X GET "https://api.counterify.com/count?apikey=XYZ&label=ABC&value=10"        

Javascript

const apikey = 'XYZ';
const label = 'ABC';
const value = 10;

const url = `https://api.counterify.com/count?apikey=${apikey}&label=${label}&value=${value}`;

fetch(url)
  .then(response => {
    if (!response.ok) {
      throw new Error(`HTTP error! status: ${response.status}`);
    }
    return response.text();
  })
  .then(data => {
    console.log('Response:', data);
  })
  .catch(error => {
    console.error('Error:', error);
  });

Ruby

require 'net/http'
require 'uri'

apikey = "XYZ"
label = "ABC"
value = 10

# Construct the URI
uri = URI("https://api.counterify.com/count")
params = { apikey: apikey, label: label, value: value }
uri.query = URI.encode_www_form(params)

# Create the HTTP GET request
response = Net::HTTP.get_response(uri)

# Check the response
if response.is_a?(Net::HTTPSuccess)
  puts "Response: #{response.body}"
else
  puts "HTTP Error: #{response.code} #{response.message}"
end

NodeJs

const https = require('https');

const apikey = 'XYZ';
const label = 'ABC';
const value = 10;

const url = `https://api.counterify.com/count?apikey=${apikey}&label=${label}&value=${value}`;

https.get(url);

Python

import requests

apikey = 'XYZ'
label = 'ABC'
value = 10

url = f'https://api.counterify.com/count?apikey={apikey}&label={label}&value={value}'

response = requests.get(url)

# You can print the response if needed
print(response.text)

PHP example

$apikey = "XYZ";
$label = "ABC";
$value = 10;

// Initialize a cURL session
$ch = curl_init();

// Set the URL and other options
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "https://api.counterify.com/count?apikey=$apikey&label=$label&value=$value");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 10); // Timeout after 10 seconds

// Execute the cURL session
$response = curl_exec($ch);

// Check for errors
if (curl_errno($ch)) {
    echo 'Error:' . curl_error($ch);
} else {
    echo 'Response:' . $response;
}

// Close the cURL session
curl_close($ch);
