POST /wp-json/extrachill/v1/analytics/view

Purpose

Captures post view events asynchronously. Useful for blocks and templates that want lightweight analytics without blocking page rendering.

Request Body

Processing Steps

1. Validates the payload via REST schema.
2. Confirms ec_track_post_views() exists (provided by the extrachill-analytics plugin). Returns 500 function_missing if unavailable.
3. Calls ec_track_post_views( $post_id ) to increment counters.

Note: This endpoint is public (permission_callback is __return_true). If the post type is artist_link_page, it also fires extrachill_link_page_view_recorded.

Response

{ "recorded": true }

Usage Pattern

Send the request via fetch after the page loads:

fetch('/wp-json/extrachill/v1/analytics/view', {
  method: 'POST',
  headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
  body: JSON.stringify({ post_id: 123 })
});
