API Request

[MFerrari5]

Hi there,

Quick question:

When making a request using the Stats API, should I use my site/subdomain in the request URL, for example: https://plausible.{{my_subdomain}}?

Also, is this setup specific to the Community Edition?

Thanks!

Use the URL of the Plausible instance, not the site you measure. If your self-hosted CE dashboard is at https://plausible.example.com, the Stats API is at https://plausible.example.com/api/v2/query; put the measured domain in site_id:

curl -X POST 'https://plausible.example.com/api/v2/query' \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $PLAUSIBLE_API_KEY" \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{"site_id":"shop.example.com","metrics":["visitors"],"date_range":"7d"}'

For Plausible Cloud the instance URL is https://plausible.io (subject to that service's API plan/access). The URL pattern is not CE-specific: the public /api/v2/query route appears in the application's router, and the docs use plausible.io as their hosted example. Stats API reference · source router
