Counter Tracking API

openapi: 3.0.1
info:
  title: Counter Account Tracking 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.
