Integrate Analytics API with PHP Applications

Here is the documentation guide on integrating Analytics API into your PHP application or website. In this case, we assume that you have a PHP-based website application that you have uploaded to your server.

• First, sign up for the domain you want to protect and learn about its visitors on the Analytics page.

• Login into your server or hosting.
• Open your main web dir (e.g., /var/www/) or the directory that you already specified.
• Create a PHP file (e.g., analytics.php) and then fill it with the following code:

<?php

/**
 * Configuration
 */
$apiPublicKey = 'Your API Public Key'; // Replace with your API Public Key
$apiSecretKey = 'Your API Secret Key'; // Replace with your API Secret Key

/**
 * Client IP Address Retrieval
 * If Cloudflare header is present, use it as the client's IP address
 */
if (isset($_SERVER["HTTP_CF_CONNECTING_IP"])) {
  $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] = $_SERVER["HTTP_CF_CONNECTING_IP"];
  $_SERVER['HTTP_CLIENT_IP'] = $_SERVER["HTTP_CF_CONNECTING_IP"];
}

$clientIp = filter_var($_SERVER['HTTP_CLIENT_IP'] ?? $_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR'] ?? $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'], FILTER_VALIDATE_IP) ?? '';

/**
 * Analytics API Request
 */

// Initialize cURL session
$curl = curl_init();

// Set cURL options
curl_setopt_array($curl, [
  CURLOPT_URL => 'https://moonito.net/api/v1/analytics?' . http_build_query([
    'ip' => $clientIp,
    'ua' => urlencode($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']),
    'events' => urlencode($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']),
    'domain' => strtolower($_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']),
  ]),
  CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => true,
  CURLOPT_ENCODING => '',
  CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS => 10,
  CURLOPT_TIMEOUT => 0,
  CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION => true,
  CURLOPT_HTTP_VERSION => CURL_HTTP_VERSION_1_1,
  CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST => 'GET',
  CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER => [
    'User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; Android 13; SM-G991U) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/112.0.0.0 Mobile Safari/537.36',
    'X-Public-Key: ' . $apiPublicKey,
    'X-Secret-Key: ' . $apiSecretKey,
  ],
]);

// Execute cURL request
$response = curl_exec($curl);

// Close cURL session
curl_close($curl);

// Decode JSON response
$response = json_decode($response);

// Process $response as needed
if ($response['data']['status']['need_to_block'] ?? false) {
  // Perform an action when the visitor is detected as "need_to_block"
  // For example, return 403 Forbidden
  http_response_code(403);
  exit(); // Ensure script execution stops after sending the HTTP response
}

• Input your Secret and Public API Key, then save.

$apiPublicKey = 'Your API Public Key'; // Put your API Public Key here
$apiSecretKey = 'Your API Secret Key'; // Put your API Secret Key here

• Edit response handling, the code processes the API response, and if the status indicates the need to block the visitor, it takes action (e.g., returning a 403 Forbidden response).

// Process $response as needed
if($response['data']['status']['need_to_block']) {
  // Do some action when visitor detected as "need_to_block"
  // For example, return 403 Forbidden
  http_response_code(403);
  exit(); // Ensure script execution stops after sending the HTTP response
}

• Open your index.php or config.php file, then add this code on the first line, then save.

<?php require_once('analytics.php'); ?>

• To configure the connection for various Content Management Systems (CMS), follow the specified paths relative to the root directory of the site:

1. Drupal in index.php
2. Joomla in index.php
3. WordPress in wp-config.php
4. OpenCart in index.php
5. PunBB in index.php
6. FluxBB in index.php
7. MyBB in inc/config.php

• To configure the connection for various PHP Framework, follow the specified paths relative to the root directory of the site:

1. Laravel in public/index.php
2. CodeIgniter in index.php
3. CakePHP in config/config.php

• Make sure analytics.php file are in the same directory of files that used to include the analytics.php file, if not you can specifically add a path where analytics.php file located.
• For information regarding visitor statistics, you can go to the Analytics page for details.
