Web Platforms & APIs

v01dworksAnalyticsAPI

Actionable Intelligence, Zero Surveillance.
v01dworks Analytics is a lightweight, self-hosted analytics engine designed to bridge the gap between simple privacy-counters and invasive enterprise tracking tools. It proves that you don't need to compromise user privacy to gain powerful, actionable business insights.

Core Philosophy:

  • Respect: Users are guests, not data points. No PII is stored; IPs are salted and hashed immediately.
  • Ownership: 100% self-hosted. Your data never leaves your server.
  • Intelligence: Moving beyond "what happened" to "what is happening" using lightweight Machine Learning.
Key Strengths:
  • Privacy-First Architecture: Unlike Google Analytics, this API does not track users across the web. It uses local GeoLite2 databases for geography and stores visitor uniqueness via irreversible salted hashes.
  • Multi-Tenant & Scalable: Built to run a single instance for an entire portfolio. The API supports Multi-Site Tracking out of the box, creating isolated SQLite databases for every unique site_id.
  • AI-Powered Insights: Instead of heavy, black-box AI, the system uses efficient, transparent Machine Learning (Scikit-learn & Pandas) to provide context:
    • Forecasting: Linear Regression models to predict future traffic trends.
    • Anomaly Detection: Isolation Forests to flag unusual spikes or dips.
    • Bot Defense: Heuristic analysis to separate humans from scrapers.

Tech Stack

  • Framework: FastAPI (Python 3.11)
  • Machine Learning: Scikit-learn, Pandas, NumPy
  • Database: SQLite (Multi-tenant / Isolated)
  • Geolocation: MaxMind GeoLite2
  • Infrastructure: Docker & Docker Compose

  • Ecosystem: Designed as the web companion to the WhatNext iOS app, sharing data and user libraries.
