# Get site stats

> Read the top stats of a site dashboard for a date range, optionally compared with an earlier one. Inputs, cURL, Python and Node.js examples and an example response.

Source: https://cotlet.dev/docs/api/plausible/get_site_stats

Docs sections: [Get started](https://cotlet.dev/docs.md) · [REST API](https://cotlet.dev/docs/api.md) · [MCP](https://cotlet.dev/docs/mcp.md) · [SDKs & CLI](https://cotlet.dev/docs/sdks.md) · [Integrations](https://cotlet.dev/docs/integrations.md)

Read the top stats of a site dashboard for a date range, optionally compared with an earlier one.

Plausible API: https://cotlet.dev/docs/api/plausible.md

`GET https://cotlet.dev/api/v1/plausible/site-stats`

Access: read.

Returns unique visitors, visits, pageviews, views per visit, bounce rate and visit duration for the range, the same numbers as the graph at the top of the dashboard. With compare, it adds the same numbers for the matching earlier range and the change in visitors. The current day is incomplete, so a range that ends today understates it.

## Parameters

| Name | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `site` | string | yes | Domain of the site as the Sites page lists it, e.g. acme-shop.example. |
| `from` | string | no | First day of the date range, YYYY-MM-DD. Default: the last 30 days. |
| `to` | string | no | Last day of the date range, YYYY-MM-DD. Default: today. |
| `compare` | string | no | previous_period or year_over_year. Leave out for no comparison. |
