# See where people go (`analytics_paths`)

Where visits went after a page and where they came from, or the commonest journeys through the site.

With a page: where visits went next (or left the site) and where they were before it. Without one: the commonest journeys, the first four pages of visits.

Price: Free up to 1,000,000 reads a month for the whole account, then $0.50 per 10,000 reads. A call that fails costs nothing.

## Use it when

Someone asks what people do after (or before) a page, or how visitors move through the site.

- For the drop-off between steps you name, use [analytics_funnel](https://conecto.chat/tools/analytics/analytics_funnel.md).

## Say this to your agent

> Where do people go after the Tabor page, and where did they come from?

## Errors

| Code | Status | When | Fix |
|---|---|---|---|
| `not_found` | 404 | No site the business counts has that domain or site_id. | Call analytics_list_sites and use a domain from it. |
| `invalid_input` | 400 | The period, the from and to dates, a page pattern or a filter is not valid. | Fix the argument the message names. A custom period needs from and to as dates, like 2026-10-01. |
| `rate_limited` | 429 | The business ran more analytics reports this minute than its limit allows. | Wait a minute, then call again. |
