# Who is on a site now (`analytics_realtime`)

Visitors in the last 5 minutes, and the pages people looked at in the last 30.

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 who is on the website right now, say just after a post or a newsletter went out.

- For the numbers for a past period, use [analytics_stats](https://conecto.chat/tools/analytics/analytics_stats.md).

## Say this to your agent

> We just posted the tune-up special on Instagram. How many people are on the site right now?

## Inputs

| Name | Type | Required | Description | Allowed values | Default |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| `site` | string | yes | The site's domain (e.g. halversoncycle.example) or its site_id. 4 to 253 characters. |  |  |

## Example

Written for Halverson Cycle & Repair, a bike shop with a repair workshop in Portland, Oregon.

MCP: call `analytics_realtime` on the MCP server `https://api.conecto.chat/mcp/analytics` with these arguments:

```json
{
  "site": "halversoncycle.example"
}
```

REST:

```bash
curl https://api.conecto.chat/v1/tools/analytics_realtime \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $CONECTO_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"site": "halversoncycle.example"}'
```

## Response

```json
{
  "call_id": "5f0c8a2e-3b7d-4c1e-9a64-2d8e1f7b0c93",
  "tool": "analytics_realtime",
  "status": "succeeded",
  "replayed": false,
  "cost_usd": "$0.00",
  "balance_usd": "$19.75",
  "result": {
    "site": "halversoncycle.example",
    "visitors_now": 4,
    "pages_last_30_minutes": [
      {
        "page": "/bikes/tabor",
        "visitors": 3
      },
      {
        "page": "/",
        "visitors": 2
      }
    ]
  }
}
```

`result`: How many visitors were on the site in the last 5 minutes, and the pages viewed in the last 30 with the visitors on each.

## 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. |
