glance browser object API

glance tracking code

To add the glance.min.js file to your website, use this Javascript snippet that tracks the activity.

(function(g, l, a, n, c, e, cw) {
  g['GlanceAnalyticsObject'] = c; g[c] = g[c] || function() {
    (g[c].q = g[c].q || []).push(arguments)
  }, g[c].t = new Date().getTime();
  g[c].API = 'path/to/track.php'; //window[...]
  e = l.createElement(a), cw = l.getElementsByTagName(a)[0];
  e.async = 1; e.src = n; cw.parentNode.insertBefore(e, cw)
})(window, document, 'script', '//path/to/glance.min.js', 'glance');

glance('pageview');

path/to/track.php	string	the path to your track.php file
//path/to/glance.min.js	string	the path to your glance.min.js file

page events

Page Events are sent using the following code:

glance('event', 'event_name', { id : 999, msg : "hello" }, function(n,data) {
  console.log('cb:', n, data)
});

event	string	define we are sending an event, always set to 'event'

numOfVisits	integer	number of times this user has been to your site
firstVisitDate	string	first time this user has visited, sample: '20180409' (YYYYMMDD)
