This is v5 of the Keen IO JS SDK. Previous versions and their documentation are available as branches of this repo.
If you haven’t done so already, login to Keen IO to create a project. The Project ID and API Keys are available on the Access page of the Project Console. You will need these for the next steps.
npm install keen-js --save
Under the hood, this is simply a bundled release of the following packages:
What is an event? An event is a record of something important happening in the life of your app or service: like a click, a purchase, or a device activation.
Full documentation is available in the keen-tracking.js repo.
Automatically record pageviews
, clicks
, and form_submissions
events with robust data models.
Learn how to configure and customize this functionality here
First, let's create a new client
instance with your Project ID and Write Key, and use the .extendEvents()
method to define a solid baseline data model that will be applied to every single event that is recorded. Consistent data models and property names make life much easier later on, when analyzing and managing several event streams. This setup also includes our data enrichment add-ons, which will populate additional information when an event is received on our end.
import KeenTracking from 'keen-tracking';
const client = new KeenTracking({
projectId: 'PROJECT_ID',
writeKey: 'WRITE_KEY'
});
const helpers = KeenTracking.helpers;
const utils = KeenTracking.utils;
const sessionCookie = utils.cookie('rename-this-example-cookie');
if (!sessionCookie.get('guest_id')) {
sessionCookie.set('guest_id', helpers.getUniqueId());
}
// optional enrichment
client.extendEvents(() => {
return {
geo: {
info: { /* Enriched */ },
ip_address: '${keen.ip}',
},
page: {
info: { /* Enriched */ },
title: document.title,
url: document.location.href
},
referrer: {
info: { /* Enriched */ },
url: document.referrer
},
tech: {
browser: helpers.getBrowserProfile(),
info: { /* Enriched */ },
user_agent: '${keen.user_agent}'
},
time: helpers.getDatetimeIndex(),
visitor: {
guest_id: sessionCookie.get('guest_id')
/* Include additional visitor info here */
},
keen: {
addons: [
{
name: 'keen:ip_to_geo',
input: {
ip: 'geo.ip_address'
},
output : 'geo.info'
},
{
name: 'keen:ua_parser',
input: {
ua_string: 'tech.user_agent'
},
output: 'tech.info'
},
{
name: 'keen:url_parser',
input: {
url: 'page.url'
},
output: 'page.info'
},
{
name: 'keen:referrer_parser',
input: {
referrer_url: 'referrer.url',
page_url: 'page.url'
},
output: 'referrer.info'
}
]
}
}
});
client.recordEvent('pageviews', {});
Every event that is recorded will inherit this baseline data model. Additional properties defined in client.recordEvent()
will be applied before the event is finally recorded.
Want to get up and running faster? This can also be achieved in the browser with automated event tracking.
const KeenTracking = require('keen-tracking');
const client = new KeenTracking({
projectId: 'PROJECT_ID',
writeKey: 'WRITE_KEY'
});
client.recordEvent('purchases', {
item: 'Avocado',
price: 123
});

Create a new client

method to execute an ad-hoc query. This client instance is the core of the library and will be required for all API-related functionality.
