  title: Fastly Metrics and Stats Real-Time Analytics API
  description: The Fastly Metrics and Stats API provides access to both real-time and historical analytics data for Fastly services. The real-time analytics endpoint, served on rt.fastly.com, delivers second-by-second stats including request counts, bandwidth, cache hit ratios, and error rates. Historical stats provide aggregated data over longer time periods. The API also includes the Domain Inspector for per-domain metrics and the Origin Inspector for origin-level performance data.
