A simple microservice for counting things.

Deploy with Vercel

Usage

You can count whatever you want. It's inspired by antirez.com and rauchg.com.

For seeing your counters, just perform a GET to /:collection/:key:

curl https://count.kikobeats.com/pageviews/culture-shipping
// => "204"

You can also getting counters in a bulk using a comma as separator:

curl https://count.kikobeats.com/pageviews/culture-shipping,professional-career
// => "204,98"

If you want to increment a counter, pass incr query parameter:

curl https://count.kikobeats.com/pageviews/culture-shipping?incr
// => "205"

It doesn't matter if your id contains final slash; it will be sanitized.

For printing the value in your website, a representative code for doing that could be:

<script>
  fetch(`'https://count.kikobeats.com/pageviews/${window.location.pathname}?incr`)
    .then(res => res.json())
    .then(count => {
      document.querySelector('.pageviews-container').classList.remove('display-none')
      document.querySelector('.pageviews-count').textContent = count
    })
</script>
