How analytics integrations work
When you add analytics integrations to your documentation site, Mintlify tracks user interactions like page views, search queries, API playground requests, and feedback submissions. Mintlify then sends these events to your analytics providers. You can connect any number of supported analytics providers by adding your API keys to thedocs.json file. Analytics events flow to your providers as soon as you add them to your configuration with no further configuration required.

Setup
Add your analytics provider credentials to theintegrations object in docs.json. Only include the platforms you want to use.
Analytics integrations only require public API keys, which are accessible to anyone viewing your documentation site. Your private API keys, which pair with the public keys on the analytics providers’ end, must remain private. Do not include private API keys in your
docs.json.docs.json
Example configuration
docs.json
Verify your setup
After you deploy your updateddocs.json, verify that events are reaching your analytics provider:
- Deploy your changes. Analytics events only start flowing after your
docs.jsonchanges are deployed to your live site. Localmint devsessions do not send events. - Trigger an event. Visit your live site and interact with it. View a page, run a search, or make an API playground request to generate one of the tracked events.
- Check your provider’s realtime view. Most platforms show incoming events within a minute:
- Google Analytics 4: Reports → Realtime.
- PostHog: Activity → Live events.
- Mixpanel: Events → Live view.
- Amplitude: Data → Live event stream.
- Disable ad blockers. Browser extensions like uBlock Origin and Privacy Badger block many analytics scripts by default. Test in an incognito window with extensions disabled if events don’t appear.
docs.json changes have deployed successfully.
