What it does

Most-viewed URL paths. Counts both direct browser visits and AI-mediated human browsing (ai_user_action) — see traffic_class_breakdown if you need to separate them.

Example prompts

Ask:

"What are my top pages on mysite.com last 30 days?"
"Top 20 pages for example.com this week."
"Which URLs are getting the most traffic right now?"

A typical response, formatted by Claude:

Top pages for mysite.com (last 30 days):

  1. /                            14,232 views
  2. /pricing                      8,914 views
  3. /blog/llms-txt-explained      4,847 views

  6. /blog/claude-mcp-setup        2,447 views

 10. /privacy                      1,287 views

Returns an array of { path, pageviews } objects. Counts include both direct browser visits and AI-mediated human browsing (ai_user_action, e.g. Claude fetching a page on a user's behalf). If you need to separate them, follow up with traffic_class_breakdown.

For long-tail SEO investigation you can stack this with compare_periods to identify pages that grew or fell sharply between periods.

How to call it directly
