Plausible Analytics for Laravel 10+
This package was originally created by @njoguamos - njoguamos/laravel-plausible
I had to make this adaptation because the original project only supports Plausible.io and not self-hosted analytics, I made a change so that the base address of the plausible can be manipulated both by configuration and by method, so we can manage several self-hosted Plausible in a single Apis system
Plausible is intuitive, lightweight and open source web analytics. Plausible has no cookies and fully compliant with GDPR, CCPA and PECR.
Plausible Self Hosting Docs Plausible Analytics is designed to be self-hosted through Docker. You don't have to be a Docker expert to launch your own instance of Plausible Analytics. You should have a basic understanding of the command-line and networking to successfully set up your own instance of Plausible Analytics.
Installation
You can install the package via composer:
composer require tallesairan/laravel-plausible
You can initialise the package with:
php artisan plausible:install
Install command will publish the config file.
Ensure that you have updated your application .env with credentials from Plausible i.e.
#.env file
BASE_URL=https://your-self-hosted-address.io
PLAUSIBLE_SITE_ID=
PLAUSIBLE_API_KEY=
Optional baseUrl or siteId over facade
Develop these methods to help manage multiple plausible self-hosted remotely
default url base is "https://plausible.io" to ensure the operation enter the url without the slash at the end
use Airan\Plausible\Facades\Plausible;
Plausible::setBaseUrl('https://your-self-hosted-address.io');
Plausible::setSiteId('newera.com');
Plausible::setApiKey('eg-nw88131238128jj9213u1h3h1hh13h2h31200x1h5hh5')
/**
* Practical example
*/
# Let's assume that the Site Model has a belongs to many relationship with a model called Plausible
$sites = Site:with('plausible')->get();
foreach ($sites as $site){
Plausible::setBaseUrl($site->plausible->base_url); // eg https://stats.newera.com
Plausible::setApiKey($site->plausible->api_key); // set default api key
Plausible::setSiteId($site->plausible_slug); // eg newera.com
$visitors = Plausible::realtime();
$aggregates = Plausible::aggregates();
...
}
Usage
1. Getting Realtime Visitors
To get the current visitors on your default site, run a request as follows.
use Airan\Plausible\Facades\Plausible;
$visitors = Plausible::realtime();
The response in a single digit number
12
If you prefer using facades, then you can do as follows.
use Airan\Plausible\Facades\Plausible;
$all = Plausible::aggregates();
2. Getting Aggregates
To get the aggregates, run a request as follows.
use Airan\Plausible\Facades\Plausible;
// Simple with default
$aggregates = Plausible::aggregates();
// Or with optional custom parameters
$aggregates = Plausible::aggregates(
period: 'custom',
metrics: ['visitors', 'visits', 'pageviews'],
filters: ['event:page==/blog**', 'visit:country==KE'],
date: '2023-01-01,2023-01-31'
);
A successful response will be a json. Example;
{
"bounce_rate": {
"change": 4,
"value": 71
},
"events": {
"change": -24,
"value": 1166
},
"pageviews": {
"change": -24,
"value": 1166
},
"views_per_visit": {
"change": -26,
"value": 3
},
"visit_duration": {

},
"visitors": {
"change": 1,
"value": 360
},
"visits": {
"change": 3,

}
}

use Airan\Plausible\Facades\Plausible;
$aggregates = Plausible::aggregates(period: '7d')

3. Getting Time Series
To get the timeseries data over a certain time period, run a request as follows.
use Airan\Plausible\Facades\Plausible;
// Simple with default
$aggregates = Plausible::timeSeries();

5. Caching Response
To increased performance of your application and reduce reliance to plausible api, all requests are cached for 3 minutes. You can specify cache duration (in seconds) and driver using the following env variables.
PLAUSIBLE_CACHE_DURATION=300
PLAUSIBLE_CACHE_DRIVER=redis
If for some reason you don't want to cache response, you can turn off caching entirely by adding the following env variable.
PLAUSIBLE_CACHE=false
