Any backend, any language.
One request per pageview.
If your stack can make an HTTP call, it can talk to Arrivl. Send one GET to the intake endpoint on each request, the universal path when there's no dedicated integration yet.
A single GET with the request's basics. No SDK, no dependency, just an HTTP call.
Install guide
Install HTTP API, start to finish
Send bot visit data to Arrivl from any backend using a simple GET request. Use this integration when you need full control over tracking or your stack isn't covered by one of the platform-specific integrations.

Best practices
- 01Track key pages only: blogs, landing pages, product pages,
robots.txt,sitemap.xml - 02Skip static assets: images, CSS, JS, fonts don't need to be tracked
- 03Fire-and-forget: don't await the response; send tracking calls asynchronously so they never delay the page
- 04URL-encode all parameters: especially
urlanduserAgentwhich may contain special characters
01Requests not appearing in Agent Analytics
Check that your websiteKey is correct and not revoked. Verify the request returns {"ok": true}. Events may take a few seconds to appear in the dashboard.
02Where do I find my website key?
Go to Settings and click "+ New Key" under your project. The key starts with ak_.
03Should I track every request?
No. Focus on HTML pages that AI bots visit. Skip static assets (images, CSS, JS, fonts) and API endpoints.
Values shown as ak_YOUR_WEBSITE_KEY are placeholders. Sign in and the in-dashboard version of this guide fills in your real key and per-project values for you.
