What Sondola asks you for

Stats API keyRequiredSecret

Plausible, Account settings, API Keys, New API Key. Choose Stats API.

Site domainRequired

The site's domain exactly as it appears in your Plausible sites list, like acme-health.com.

Secrets are stored encrypted in your workspace, in a vault kept separate from the application database. Sondola never shows them again.

Permissions

  • A Stats API key, which can only read statistics.

Refresh and first reading

Once a day. Most tools refresh once or twice a day, and every number shows when it was read.

Save and test reads today's visitors. Each week or month is one query for exactly that period in the site's own time zone, so a visitor is counted once per period.

Troubleshooting

The test passes but no reading appears.

Plausible is a Pick the metric source. A working connection produces nothing until you choose a metric and its period. Then check the metric's reporting period and the source's data-through date.

A number differs from Plausible.

Compare the definition, unit and reporting period with the same number in Plausible before treating a difference as an error. When a stored reading changes, its history keeps the old value, the new value and the reason.
