Authentication

Bento requires a HTTP Basic authentication using the publishable key from your account as the username and the secret key as the password.

You can find these values in your user settings (the cog menu) by going to “API Keys”.

You’ll also need the site_uuid for the site you want to fetch data for. On the API Keys page there’s a list of sites you have access to and can copy the id. Append that to any endpoint query like this https://app.bentonow.com/api/v1/stats/site?site_uuid=...

Endpoint

The primary endpoint for account statistics is: https://app.bentonow.com/api/v1/stats/site.

You currently can’t get historic data (or derive it from your subscriber data unless you are on an enterprise account).

How to get your subscriber metrics from Bento

To get the current subscriber count send a GET request to:

https://app.bentonow.com/api/v1/stats/site
  // Replace this with the id of the site
  ?site_id=<YOUR_SITE_ID>

This will return both your current subscriber and unsubscriber count for your account

{
  "user_count": 1,
  "subscriber_count": 42,
  "unsubscriber_count": 13
}
