Hello!
So I have these tiles (emilsjoberg.se/w) on my website and I’d like there to be a ‘view’ counter for each person clicking on it.
I know a lot of people have put this on a wish list, but I’m hoping you could direct me to somewhere I can find code or something to help me achieve this.
Cheers,
Emil
Hey @Emil.Sjoberg,
This is a good question.
I was able to find the following on Codepen: https://codepen.io/juliogcampos/pen/BzdjwY
Hopefully this is helpful 
Hey @micahryanhtml,
Thank you so much and it might definitely help. Problem is that we need to make webflow remember the click and display it for every user. Imagine it as a youtube views counter.
So I want it to look something like this and count each person visiting.
I need this too, please keep me in the loop if you find out how to do it, thanks so much
Any tips on how to use this code using an html embedded function. Tried it but can get it to work 
thank you…
Of course buddy, I haven’t found anything on the web yet, if I do I will let you know.
Nice one thank you mate
If you are using Google analytics you can use their API.
The Reporting API V4 is what you would need as it allows you to pull from the analytics on your site. The “Realtime API V3” is for real time data like live visitors and such. It’s in limited beta so you have to apply and get whitelisted to use it. However, I’d wager this is probably overkill for what you are trying to accomplish. (Or just more work than it’s probably worth)
The main issue here is that Webflow doesn’t allow us to access the database. So you basically two options
To start any third party solution can fill this role. The first solution I gave earlier, the Google Analytics API, would all be hosted by Google which is why the page count can be retained unlike the Codepen linked above.
Perhaps there’s some business offering this as a paid solution I’m not sure. I haven’t seen anything like that though.
Another way you could do this is by hosting a spreadsheet in Dropbox or Google Drive. For example you can use Google Sheets to act as your “database.” Basically when someone visits your page you would have a Javascript command that updates the Google Sheet, and then another Javascript command that pulls the number of visitors from the spreadsheet.
Here’s some info about the Google Spreadsheets API: Sheets API | Google Developers
I haven’t really played with the Webflow API. So this is just me speculating based on my quick read through of their documentation.
Thanks a lot, perfect!
There is already a view counter in the forum if you look on links. The number is how many people clicked on it. So we know it’s definitely possible, question is how they did it.
This is going to take some time learning, hopefully it will work out.
Cheers
The Webflow forums are a Discourse install, which I’m pretty sure comes with that functionality built in…?
But you’re right it’s definitely doable! 
Hi @Emil.Sjoberg, @RoseWebStudio, and @Modii,
I was able to find the following counter that allows the user to input the URL they would like clicks to be tracked:
It’s not the prettiest, and it seems quite intensive if we are talking about blog posts, but hopefully it gets our search a tad closer.
The counter can be found at the following URL: http://www.hitwebcounter.com/
Hopefully this helps
What does (post withdrawn by author) even mean? I haven’t done anything, do I have to do something for the post to stay up?
Yes that helps our search, good work mate!
Thanks
Oh, no worries on the (post withdrawn). I had replied and added some code to this post to see if it would work as expected, then withdraw my reply after testing.
That’s all.
Glad it helps.
There are a couple others that are pretty much exactly like the previously mentioned counter:
Thanks, gosh they are ugly, shows how far we have come with modern web design…close but not good enough for me thank you though, keep searching…,
would this be possible with Google Analytics, Zapier and Webflow? Google analytics has a new goal trigger
Hey guys, did anyone found a good solution for this topic?
Just to note that I’ve looked at this thread about 5 times over the last year to check to see if there is any update here. Would be brilliant to have a view counter on blog posts to see which are the most popular.
api
this might help.
I would just like to know if there is a way to automatically create the keys for cms pages
Hey, reviving this thread after a few years because I too have this problem now, did any of you guys manage to figure this one out? Did implementing CountAPI help?
Actually, specifically, I’m wanting to have a view counter on individual CMS items, no matter which page they’re referenced on, not just the CMS page. For example I’m making a music player as a test project, and want to know if its possible to implement a view counter for plays on each track. Each track will be its own CMS item, and I’ll display multiple tracks per page. Similar to soundcloud.
