Micro SaaS for WordPress Plugin Analytics

A Micro SaaS analytics dashboard for tracking downloads, version updates, error logs, user feedback, and license management for your plugins.

Description

This plugin serves as your self-hosted Micro SaaS Dashboard for all your WordPress plugins. It provides a REST API to track downloads, log errors, collect feedback, and verify licenses seamlessly, offering a beautiful admin dashboard to monitor all metrics with rich modern aesthetics.

How to use the Tracking API in your other plugins:

Below are code snippets you can drop into the other WordPress plugins you develop, to send data directly to this dashboard.

1. Track Downloads (Run on Plugin Activation)

function tracking_saas_track_download() {
    $api_url = 'https://YOUR_SAAS_DOMAIN.com/wp-json/wp-plugin-analytics/v1/track/download';
    wp_remote_post( $api_url, array(
        'body' => json_encode( array(
            'plugin_slug' => 'my-awesome-plugin',
            'version'     => '1.0.0',
        ) ),
        'headers' => array( 'Content-Type' => 'application/json' ),
        'blocking' => false,
    ) );
}
register_activation_hook( __FILE__, 'tracking_saas_track_download' );

2. Track Errors (Hook into PHP exceptions or custom logger)

function tracking_saas_track_error( $error_message, $stack_trace ) {
    $api_url = 'https://YOUR_SAAS_DOMAIN.com/wp-json/wp-plugin-analytics/v1/track/error';
    wp_remote_post( $api_url, array(
        'body' => json_encode( array(
            'plugin_slug'   => 'my-awesome-plugin',
            'version'       => '1.0.0',
            'error_message' => $error_message,
            'stack_trace'   => $stack_trace,
            'wp_version'    => get_bloginfo( 'version' ),
            'php_version'   => phpversion()
        ) ),
        'headers' => array( 'Content-Type' => 'application/json' ),
        'blocking' => false,
    ) );
}

3. Verify License

function tracking_saas_verify_license( $license_key ) {
    $api_url = 'https://YOUR_SAAS_DOMAIN.com/wp-json/wp-plugin-analytics/v1/license/verify';
    $response = wp_remote_post( $api_url, array(
        'body' => json_encode( array(
            'license_key' => $license_key,
            'domain'      => $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']
        ) ),
        'headers' => array( 'Content-Type' => 'application/json' ),
    ) );

    if ( ! is_wp_error( $response ) ) {
        $body = json_decode( wp_remote_retrieve_body( $response ), true );
        if ( isset( $body['status'] ) && $body['status'] === 'valid' ) {
            return true;
        }
    }
    return false;
}
