# Get a realtime traffic snapshot

`GET /websites/{websiteId}/analytics/realtime`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.cactal.ai/v1`
- URL: `https://api.cactal.ai/v1/websites/{websiteId}/analytics/realtime`
- Auth: HTTP bearer

Returns a compact snapshot of traffic over Umami's trailing 30-minute realtime window: total page views, distinct visitors, tracked custom events, and distinct countries, plus the snapshot timestamp. The visitor total is not directly comparable to the removed `active` endpoint's five-minute count. Use it to see recent activity; use the query endpoint for historical ranges. Requires a plan that includes analytics (403 otherwise); all-zero totals until the website is published and has traffic.

## Path parameters

- `websiteId` string, required

## Response `200`

Traffic totals for the trailing 30-minute window.

  - `events` number, required: Tracked custom events in the trailing 30-minute window.
  - `countries` number, required: Distinct countries in the trailing 30-minute window.
  - `timestamp` string, required: Snapshot time as an ISO 8601 timestamp.

## Other responses

- `403`: The authenticated principal lacks the required capability.
- `404`: The resource does not exist or is outside the principal’s access scope.
