What is reported
A page view is oneGET request to a page-content path. Requests for assets — anything whose final path segment has a file extension, like /_astro/app.css, /favicon.ico, or /logo.png — are skipped, as are redirects. Everything a reader actually loads to view a page is reported: your pages for people, and the same pages for agents and crawlers.
There is no user-agent gate at capture. A crawler, an unknown agent, and a browser are all reported and told apart afterward, so a new agent shows up in your numbers without any change on your side.
How a viewer is classified
The visitor’s user-agent,Accept header, and IP are read to classify the request, then discarded. What is stored is coarse and non-identifying:
- Client kind —
agent,browser, orother. - The agent, when one is recognized — its registry slug (
gptbot,perplexitybot, …) and operator (OpenAI, Perplexity, …), plus a coarse agent type. - A user-agent family and the registry version that classified it, so history can be re-bucketed when the registry improves.
cf-ipcountry, clamped to a 2-letter code) and the referrer host — the referring domain only, never the full referrer URL, so a referrer’s own path or query never leaves the visitor’s site. Both are optional and hold nothing that identifies a person.
Two timestamps
Each view carries two clocks, so you can measure delivery lag and trust the right one:captured_at— when your edge observed the request. Present only when your reporter sends it; it is never invented.received_at— when ZeroClick received the beacon. This is the authoritative time.
The Page views key scope
Reporting authenticates with an API key carrying thepage-views:write scope. Mint one in the dashboard under Settings → API keys: create a key and enable the Page views group’s Write toggle. The scope grants POST /v1/page-views and nothing else, so the key can live on your marketing site’s edge without exposing your catalog, usage, or Agentify APIs. A key can carry both page-views:write and agentify:convert when you run both from the same edge, or just one.
