📊 Reqlytics – Real-Time API Analytics Middleware for API backend

Reqlytics is a plug-and-play API analytics middleware for backend API.
It automatically tracks incoming API requests and logs them to your personal Reqlytics dashboard in real-time — without changing your existing routes.

🚀 Features

• ✅ Easy integration with Express
• 📈 Tracks endpoint, method, response time & status
• 🛠️ Works with both ESM and CommonJS
• 🔐 Secured with your unique API Key
• 📊 Visual analytics dashboard
• ⚡ Lightweight & production ready

📦 Installation

Install via npm:

npm install reqlytics

📌 Basic Usage

1. Import the middleware

For ESM (e.g., index.js, server.js):

import { apiAnalytics } from "reqlytics";

For CommonJS (e.g., app.js, older Node.js versions):

const apiAnalytics = require("reqlytics");

2. Use it in your Express app

const express = require("express");
const app = express();

const apiAnalytics = require("reqlytics"); // or import { apiAnalytics } from "reqlytics"
const API_KEY = "your_api_key_here"; // Replace with your Reqlytics API key

// Add the middleware
app.use(apiAnalytics(API_KEY, { debug: true }));

// Define routes
app.get("/api/hello", (req, res) => {
  res.json({ message: "Hello from Reqlytics!" });
});

// Start server
app.listen(3000, () => {
  console.log("Server is running on http://localhost:3000");
});

⚙️ Middleware Options

The apiAnalytics function accepts a second argument (optional config):

| Option | Type | Default | Description | |-------------|----------|------------------------------------------------------|--------------------------------------------| | endpoint | string | https://reqlytics-api.onrender.com/api/v1/track | Tracking API endpoint | | timeout | number | 2000 (ms) | Request timeout when sending analytics | | debug | boolean| false | Enable console logs for debugging |

Example:

app.use(apiAnalytics("your_api_key", {debug: true,}));

📌 Example Middleware Code (Under the Hood)

Here’s a look at how the middleware works internally:

const axios = require("axios");

const url = 'https://reqlytics-api.onrender.com';

function apiAnalytics(apiKey, options = {}) {
  const {
    endpoint = `${url}/api/v1/track`,
  ...
        if (debug) console.error("[Reqlytics] Error:", error.message);
      }
    });

    next();
  };
}

module.exports = apiAnalytics;

You don’t need to copy this — it’s already bundled in the package!
