Plausible compatibility

[ftp27]

Hello,

Thank you for sharing such a cool project! I'm wondering how different the Event Report API is between Plausible and Vince. I'm considering implementing Traefik logging with Vince using an existing plugin Plausible Feeder. However, the APIs are not quite the same, so we may need to create a separate plugin specifically for Vince. I would be grateful if you share some info about the client API

vince events api is the same as plausible.

However, the APIs are not quite the same.

Please explain how you arrived at this conclusion.

By this mention vince started as a Go port of Plausible

Do you have any info about the API?

Query api is https://www.vinceanalytics.com/tags/api/ . I assume you are interested in sending web analytics events to vince right?

If so , you can just use plausible documentation here https://plausible.io/docs/events-api and it should apply to vince.

Basically we expose /api/events endpoints like plausible and accept the same object like plausible.

I should also note that, it is not vince goal to be compatible with plausible.

Thank you! I figured it out. So the request should be like:

curl --location --request POST 'localhost:8082/api/event' \
--header 'User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_15_6) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/85.0.4183.121 Safari/537.36 OPR/71.0.3770.284' \
--header 'X-Forwarded-For: 127.0.0.22' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data-raw '{"n":"pageview","u":"http://vinceanalytics.com/","d":"vinceanalytics.com", "r":"refferer1"}'
