    // Create the Pirsch client.
client := pirsch.NewClient(clientID, clientSecret, hostname, nil)

http.HandleFunc("/", func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
    // Send the page hit to Pirsch.
    client.Hit(r)

    w.Write([]byte("Hello from Pirsch!"))
})

        // Create the Pirsch client.
var client = new Client({
    hostname: "example.com",
    protocol: "https", // used to parse the request URL, default is http
    clientID: "",
    clientSecret: ""
});

http.createServer((req, res) => {
    // Filter for the root pathname.
    const url = new URL(req.url || "", "https://example.com");

    if(url.pathname === "/") {

Custom Reports

Create custom reports by accessing your data through the API. Filters allow you to get exactly what you want. Data can be aggregated for different time periods or you can get a list of custom events.

Uncompromised Performance

Our service is fast. Modern hardware and a scalable infrastructure ensure fast response times and stability. If you have ever worked with sluggish tools like Google Analytics, using Pirsch will feel like a breeze of fresh air.

Advanced SDKs

Use our Go (Golang), JavaScript, or PHP SDK, or one provided by the community to get started quickly. All SDKs are open-source and co-developed by the community.

Server-side Integration

Call our API from your backend for a non-blockable approach to web analytics. Instead of relying on JavaScript running in the visitor's browser, keep your site lean and improve page speed.

Open-Source on GitHub

A lot of Pirsch is open source, including the core, SDKs, and libraries we have created for our service. So you can see for yourself how we work and how Pirsch functions. The code is available on GitHub, including a demo repository with sample applications and more.
