Server logs + Maintouch
Send request logs from any server and see which AI agents read your site.
Overview
Not on Cloudflare, Vercel, Kinsta or CloudFront? Your servers still see every request an AI agent makes, even though Google Analytics never does.
Post those request logs to the Maintouch API from middleware, a reverse proxy or a log shipper. We match each user agent against our AI agent registry and add the hits to Agent Analytics, by agent, by page and by purpose.
How it works
- 01
Create an API key
Make an organization API key in Maintouch under Developers › API keys.
- 02
Post a batch of events
Send the url, User-Agent header and timestamp of each request to the events endpoint, up to 10,000 per call.
- 03
The first batch connects it
There is nothing to set up in the app. Your first call creates the connection and, if it is your only source, starts the report.
What you get
Works with any stack
Anything that sees the request and its User-Agent header can send it: app middleware, a proxy access log or a log pipeline.
Backfill up to 400 days
Send older log lines in batches and each one counts toward the day it happened.
Safe to retry
Pass your own request ID, or let us key on url, user agent and timestamp, and a resent batch counts once.
Nothing raw is kept
Each call reports what was accepted, duplicated or ignored. Raw user agents, IP addresses and query strings are never stored.
Permissions
Agent traffic (write) A restricted API key needs Write on Agent traffic to post events. Full access keys already have it.Questions
How much can I send?
Up to 10,000 events per call in a 10 MB JSON body, and at most 120 calls per minute per organization.
Does it verify that a bot is who it says it is?
No. Server logs identify agents by user agent, which a bot can spoof, so the counts are classified traffic rather than verified traffic.
Can I use it alongside Cloudflare or Vercel?
Yes, but Agent Analytics reports one source at a time, so you pick which. Counts are never combined, because both could record the same request.
