About this API


 

This API Documentation is deprecated and will be removed shortly. If you want to see the new Chartbeat Documentation go to http://chartbeat.com/docs/api/

 

chartbeat is a real-time analytics service, which provides an interface for viewing what users on your site are doing right now, as well as providing historical context. The entire service is built on top of API's which you can use to access and repurpose the data we collect. You must be an active subscriber of chartbeat to use the API; sign up here.

 

We expose this data through a series of calls that return JSON.  We currently only return JSON data because it's simple, easily readible, concise, and easy to parse in Javascript.  To find out more about JSON, visit json.org/

All calls require an API key. You can obtain and manage your keys at chartbeat.com/apikeys.
