  headers: {
    'Authorization': 'Bearer YOUR_API_KEY'
  }
});

Real-World Examples

Custom Analytics Dashboard

A fintech company built a custom dashboard using our API:

// Fetch real-time analytics
async function getAnalytics() {
  const res = await fetch('https://api.metrics.bar/v1/websites/site-id?time=today');
  const data = await res.json();
  
  // Display in custom UI
  updateDashboard(data);
}

// Update every 30 seconds
setInterval(getAnalytics, 30000);

Result: Real-time analytics integrated into their product dashboard, improving decision-making speed by 40%.

Automated Reporting

A marketing agency uses our API for automated client reports:

import requests
from datetime import datetime

def generate_report(site_id, api_key):
    url = f'https://api.metrics.bar/v1/websites/{site_id}'
    headers = {'Authorization': f'Bearer {api_key}'}
    
    response = requests.get(url, headers=headers)
    data = response.json()
    
    # Generate PDF report
    create_pdf_report(data)
    # Email to client
    send_email_report(data)

# Run daily
schedule.every().day.at("09:00").do(generate_report)

Result: Saved 15 hours/week on manual reporting, improved client satisfaction.

Data Integration

An e-commerce platform integrates Metrics Bar data with their CRM:

require 'net/http'
require 'json'

def sync_analytics_to_crm(site_id)
  uri = URI("https://api.metrics.bar/v1/websites/#{site_id}")
  req = Net::HTTP::Get.new(uri)
  req['Authorization'] = "Bearer #{ENV['METRICS_BAR_API_KEY']}"
  
  res = Net::HTTP.start(uri.hostname, uri.port, use_ssl: true) { |http|
    http.request(req)
  }
  
  analytics_data = JSON.parse(res.body)
  
  # Sync to CRM
  CRM::Analytics.create(analytics_data)
end

Result: Unified view of customer behavior across analytics and CRM, improved conversion tracking.
