A counter API for counting visitors, clicks or anything you want.
Important
It is recommanded to deploy your own instance of counter by cloing this project. The Worker deployed on https://counter.kynsonszetau.com is not intended for public use and counters created maybe deleted without prior notice.
Simply send a GET request to any path. The counter will be incremented, and the latest value after the increment will be returned in JSON. Each path is a separate counter, which makes counting different things a piece of cake.
If a counter is no longer needed, send a DELETE request to the corresponding path to delete it. Note that deleting a counter requires authentication with bearer token.
Important
Cloudflare Wokers Paid plan is required to use Durable Objects.
git clonethis project- Update wrangler.toml to match your needs (e.g. routes). Remember to uncomment the
[[migrations]]section before the first deployment. - Generate a random base64-encoded token
- Hash the token with
SHA-512and encode the hash with base64 - Upload the hash with
wrangler secret put DELETE_TOKEN_HASH - Deploy the worker with
npm run deploy
This API is powered by Cloudflare Workers and Durable Objects. A globally unique counter object will be created when a GET request hits a path for the first time and initialize the counter. Any subsequence GET request will increment the counter for that path. Durbale Objects ensures there is only one running instance for each counter, each increment can be considered atomic.
This project is based on Cloudflare's Atomic Counter example.
