Flowsery Analytics
Privacy-first web analytics. Query real-time visitors, breakdowns, time series, revenue, goals, and visitor profiles — all via one API.
Safety & Privacy (read first)
This skill is read-only by default, but the API also exposes write and irreversible delete operations and returns personal data. Before acting, observe these rules:
- Destructive operations require confirmation.
DELETE /goalsandDELETE /paymentspermanently erase historical business data and cannot be undone. Never run them as a side effect of an analytics request. Always restate exactly what will be deleted (website, filters, date range, and how many records if known) and get explicit user confirmation first. Never run a DELETE without a date range or other narrowing filter unless the user has explicitly confirmed a full-history wipe. - Treat a request to "clean up", "fix", or "remove" data as deletion, not querying — confirm intent before translating it into a DELETE call.
- Visitor profiles and payments are PII. Profiles can contain email, name, geolocation, full page history, and revenue. Only retrieve an individual visitor profile when the user explicitly asks about a specific person/visitor, and confirm they are authorized to view it. Present the minimum detail needed to answer — do not dump full identity, contact, and activity timelines unless asked.
- Minimize personal data on writes. When recording payments/goals, send only the fields required for the task. Do not add
email,name, orcustomerIdunless the user explicitly provides them and they are needed for attribution. - Never expose API keys in output, logs, or client-side code.
Setup
- Sign up at https://flowsery.com/signup
- Add your website and install the tracking snippet
- Go to the workspace-level API Tokens page and create a workspace API token
- Set the environment variable:
export FLOWSERY_API_KEY="flow_ws_your-token-here"
Base URL: https://analytics.flowsery.com/analytics/api/v1
Auth header: Authorization: Bearer $FLOWSERY_API_KEY
Workspace API tokens use the flow_ws_ prefix. Use these for API, MCP, OpenClaw, and multi-website access. Website API keys use the flow_ prefix and are scoped to a single website, mainly for server-side custom goal and payment ingestion. Treat both like passwords — never expose them in client-side code.
Core Workflow
1. List accessible websites
curl -s -H "Authorization: Bearer $FLOWSERY_API_KEY" \
https://analytics.flowsery.com/analytics/api/v1/websites
With a workspace token, choose the website and pass websiteId=<id> or domain=<domain> on subsequent API calls. With a website key, this returns only the scoped website.
2. Check website metadata
curl -s -H "Authorization: Bearer $FLOWSERY_API_KEY" \
"https://analytics.flowsery.com/analytics/api/v1/metadata?websiteId=WEBSITE_ID"
Returns { "status": "success", "data": [{ "domain", "timezone", "name", "logo", "kpiColorScheme", "kpi", "currency" }] }. Use the timezone and currency values for subsequent queries.
3. Get site overview (aggregated metrics)
curl -s -H "Authorization: Bearer $FLOWSERY_API_KEY" \
"https://analytics.flowsery.com/analytics/api/v1/overview?websiteId=WEBSITE_ID&startAt=2026-01-01&endAt=2026-01-31&timezone=America/New_York"
Returns: visitors, sessions, bounce_rate, avg_session_duration, revenue, revenue_per_visitor, conversion_rate.
Omit date params for all-time data. Use fields param to select specific metrics: ?fields=visitors,revenue.
4. Get time series data
curl -s -H "Authorization: Bearer $FLOWSERY_API_KEY" \
"https://analytics.flowsery.com/analytics/api/v1/timeseries?websiteId=WEBSITE_ID&interval=day&fields=visitors,sessions,revenue&startAt=2026-03-01&endAt=2026-03-31"
Intervals: hour, day, week, month. Returns timestamped data buckets with totals.
Response includes data array, totals object (with visitors, sessions, revenue, revenueBreakdown), and pagination.
5. Check real-time visitors
curl -s -H "Authorization: Bearer $FLOWSERY_API_KEY" \
"https://analytics.flowsery.com/analytics/api/v1/realtime?websiteId=WEBSITE_ID"
Returns { "data": [{ "visitors": 42 }] } — active visitors in the last 5 minutes.
6. Get breakdown reports
Each returns top items for a dimension with visitor/session counts. All accept date range, pagination, and filter params.
# Top pages
curl -s -H "Authorization: Bearer $FLOWSERY_API_KEY" \
"https://analytics.flowsery.com/analytics/api/v1/pages?websiteId=WEBSITE_ID&startAt=2026-03-01&endAt=2026-03-31&limit=20"
# Top referrers
curl -s -H "Authorization: Bearer $FLOWSERY_API_KEY" \
"https://analytics.flowsery.com/analytics/api/v1/referrers?websiteId=WEBSITE_ID&startAt=2026-03-01&endAt=2026-03-31"
# Countries
curl -s -H "Authorization: Bearer $FLOWSERY_API_KEY" \
"https://analytics.flowsery.com/analytics/api/v1/countries?websiteId=WEBSITE_ID&startAt=2026-03-01&endAt=2026-03-31"
# Devices (desktop/mobile/tablet)
curl -s -H "Authorization: Bearer $FLOWSERY_API_KEY" \
"https://analytics.flowsery.com/analytics/api/v1/devices?websiteId=WEBSITE_ID&startAt=2026-03-01&endAt=2026-03-31"
# Marketing channels
curl -s -H "Authorization: Bearer $FLOWSERY_API_KEY" \
"https://analytics.flowsery.com/analytics/api/v1/channels?websiteId=WEBSITE_ID&startAt=2026-03-01&endAt=2026-03-31"
Available breakdown endpoints: pages, referrers, countries, regions, cities, devices, browsers, operating-systems, campaigns, hostnames, channels, goals.
For any dimension, use the generic breakdown:
curl -s -H "Authorization: Bearer $FLOWSERY_API_KEY" \
"https://analytics.flowsery.com/analytics/api/v1/breakdown?websiteId=WEBSITE_ID&dimension=utm_source&startAt=2026-03-01&endAt=2026-03-31"
See references/breakdown-dimensions.md for all 24 dimensions.
7. Get a visitor profile
⚠️ PII. This endpoint returns personal data about an individual (email, name, city/region, full page history, revenue). Only call it when the user explicitly asks about a specific visitor, confirm they are authorized to view that person's data, and present the minimum detail that answers the question — don't dump the full identity and activity timeline unless asked.
curl -s -H "Authorization: Bearer $FLOWSERY_API_KEY" \
"https://analytics.flowsery.com/analytics/api/v1/visitors/VISITOR_ID_HERE?websiteId=WEBSITE_ID"
Returns comprehensive visitor data:
- identity: country, region, city, browser, OS, device type, viewport
- source: original traffic source with favicon URL
- activity: visit count, page views, first/last visit, visited pages, completed goals
- revenue: total revenue, customer flag, time to first conversion (seconds)
- profile: identified user data (userId, name, email) or null for anonymous visitors
- activityTimeline: merged chronological list of all pageviews, goals, and payments
The visitor ID comes from the _fs_vid browser cookie set by the Flowsery tracking script.
8. Track a custom goal
curl -X POST https://analytics.flowsery.com/analytics/api/v1/goals \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $FLOWSERY_API_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"websiteId": "WEBSITE_ID",
"visitorUid": "VISITOR_UID_FROM_COOKIE",
"name": "newsletter_signup",
"metadata": { "plan": "pro", "source": "pricing_page" }
}'
name(required): lowercase letters, numbers, underscores, hyphens; max 64 charsvisitorUid(recommended): from the_fs_vidbrowser cookiemetadata(optional): up to 10 key-value pairs (keys: lowercase, max 64 chars; values: max 255 chars)
The visitor must have at least one recorded pageview before a goal can be created.
9. Record a payment
If you use Stripe, LemonSqueezy, or Polar, payments are tracked automatically when connected. Use this endpoint only for other providers.
⚠️ PII / data minimization.
name, andcustomerIdare personal data and are all optional. Send them only when the user explicitly provides them and they are needed for revenue attribution. Omit them otherwise —amount,currency, andtransactionIdare enough to record a payment.
curl -X POST https://analytics.flowsery.com/analytics/api/v1/payments \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $FLOWSERY_API_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"websiteId": "WEBSITE_ID",
"amount": 29.99,
"currency": "USD",
"transactionId": "payment_456",
"visitorUid": "VISITOR_UID_FROM_COOKIE",
"email": "customer@example.com"
}'
Required: amount, currency, transactionId. Optional: visitorUid, sessionUid, email, name, customerId, isRenewal (boolean), isRefund (boolean).
10. Delete goal events (irreversible — confirm first)
🛑 Destructive. This permanently erases historical goal data and cannot be undone. Before running it, restate the website, filters, and date range to the user and get explicit confirmation. Do not infer a DELETE from a vague "clean up"/"fix" request.
curl -X DELETE "https://analytics.flowsery.com/analytics/api/v1/goals?websiteId=WEBSITE_ID&name=signup&startAt=2026-01-01T00:00:00Z&endAt=2026-01-31T23:59:59Z" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $FLOWSERY_API_KEY"
At least one filter required: visitorId, name, startAt, endAt.
WARNING: Without a date range, matching records are deleted across the entire history. Never omit the date range unless the user has explicitly confirmed a full-history wipe.
11. Delete payment records (irreversible — confirm first)
🛑 Destructive. This permanently erases historical payment/revenue data and cannot be undone. Before running it, restate the website, filters, and date range to the user and get explicit confirmation. Do not infer a DELETE from a vague "clean up"/"fix" request.
curl -X DELETE "https://analytics.flowsery.com/analytics/api/v1/payments?websiteId=WEBSITE_ID&transactionId=payment_456" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $FLOWSERY_API_KEY"
At least one filter required: transactionId, visitorId, startAt, endAt.
WARNING: Without a date range, matching records are deleted across the entire history. Never omit the date range unless the user has explicitly confirmed a full-history wipe.

Tips for the Agent
Read-only by default
Most commands are safe GET queries. The only write operations are:
POST /goals— track a goal eventPOST /payments— record a paymentDELETE /goals— delete goal events (irreversible)DELETE /payments— delete payment records (irreversible)
Always confirm with the user before running DELETE operations.
Date handling
- When the user says "this month", "last week", "yesterday" — calculate the actual ISO dates
- Default to the last 30 days when no date range is specified
- With a workspace token, call
/websitesfirst and choose awebsiteIdordomain - Always use UTC or the site's timezone (from the metadata endpoint)
Revenue data is sensitive
When displaying payment or revenue data, ask the user about the appropriate level of detail before dumping raw numbers.
Polling
Do not poll the realtime endpoint more than once per 5 seconds.
