Analyze tool usage
Various services and community-created tools exist to help you access data about your tool's traffic and usage.
- https://toolviews.toolforge.org/api/ - provides API access to tool view statistics. Statistics are generated by counting 2xx status responses ("hits") for all tools via parsing the access logs generated at the Toolforge reverse proxy service. Can be seen visually using https://lp-tools.toolforge.org/toolviews/.
- https://toolcounter.toolforge.org/ - a privacy-friendly hit counter for Toolforge-hosted tools
