Counter Tracking / Collect API

openapi: 3.0.1

  title: Counter API
  description: >-
    Counter (counter.dev) is an open-source, privacy-friendly web analytics
    service. This specification documents the real HTTP surface of the Counter
    server as implemented in the AGPL-3.0 source at
    https://github.com/ihucos/counter.dev. The tracking/collect endpoints are
    public and unauthenticated and are called by the browser tracking snippet.
    The stats endpoints return aggregated data and are protected either by a
    session cookie or by a user + token pair (sessionless, read-only). The
    account endpoints back the dashboard UI and are not a formally published
    developer API. Endpoint paths are derived directly from the server source;
    request/response schemas beyond the documented query parameters are not
    formally published by the project, so responses are described rather than
    fully schematized.

        stored; country may be supplied explicitly or derived from the
        CF-IPCountry header. Bots and localhost origins are ignored.
