  title: Rybbit API
  description: >-
    Rybbit is an open-source, privacy-friendly web and product analytics
    platform. This specification covers the public event ingestion endpoint
    (POST /api/track) used by the tracking script and server-side
    integrations, and the Bearer-key-authenticated Stats API (beta) for
    querying sites, sessions, users, retention, and events. The cloud base
    URL is https://app.rybbit.io; self-hosted instances expose the same
    paths on their own domain.

        Public ingestion endpoint used by the Rybbit tracking script and
        server-side / mobile integrations. No API key is required for basic
        tracking; the server validates the payload, resolves the site by
        site_id, and applies rate limiting. The `type` field selects the
        event kind (pageview, custom_event, or outbound).
