Plausible Analytics Agent

Notes

• The Events API (/api/event) is used without authentication for tracking
• The Stats API (/api/v1/stats) requires PLAUSIBLE_API_KEY set in the request header
• For self-hosted Plausible, set PLAUSIBLE_BASE_URL to your instance
• All scripts output JSON or plain text depending on the endpoint
