Instant Analytics
Instant Analytics lets you start tracking website traffic without creating an account. Simply use any available UUID in the tracking snippet and 99dev will automatically create a site for it on the first reported event.
How It Works
- Choose a UUID — Generate a UUID however you like (e.g.
crypto.randomUUID()in a browser console or any UUID generator). Any valid, unclaimed UUID will work. - Install the snippet — Add the tracking code to your website using the UUID you chose. See Installation for CDN and NPM options.
- Traffic begins recording — The first event reported to an unknown UUID triggers the automatic creation of a new analytics site. No sign-up required.
- View your analytics — Visit
https://app.99.dev/#/mian/<your-uuid>to see your traffic data immediately.
This approach is ideal for developers who want to install analytics directly from code without navigating to a website for registration first.
Claiming Your Site
Once you’re ready to take ownership, you can claim your Instant Analytics site by creating a 99dev account (or signing into an existing one) and clicking the “Claim Site” button on the site’s dashboard.
Claiming a site:
- Transfers ownership to your account
- Makes the site private (visible only to you)
- Lets you rename, clear, or delete the site
- Transfers its outstanding analytics cost to your account
Credits and Claiming
The claim window shows the site’s current outstanding analytics cost before you create an account, sign in, or confirm the claim. After claiming, the site uses your account’s wallet balance.
If you already have a 99dev account, there is some benefit to creating sites through your account directly — your existing wallet balance and credits will apply from the start, and nothing is forfeited.
Important Security Considerations
Until a site is claimed, be aware of the following:
- Analytics are publicly accessible. Anyone with the UUID can view the site’s traffic data by visiting
https://app.99.dev/#/mian/<uuid>. If you are tracking sensitive pages or private traffic patterns, claim your site immediately to restrict access. - Any user can claim an unclaimed site. The first user to claim a site becomes its owner. Until you claim your site, there is a risk that another user could claim it and gain ownership of the associated analytics data.
- Changes require claiming. Unclaimed dashboards cannot be renamed, cleared, or manually deleted.
- Inactive data expires. An unclaimed site and its analytics are permanently deleted after 30 days without activity. Tracking that UUID again after deletion creates a new empty site.
For these reasons, it is strongly recommended to claim your site as soon as possible after creating it with Instant Analytics. This ensures your traffic data remains private and under your control.
When to Use Instant Analytics
Instant Analytics is a great fit when you want to:
- Get started as fast as possible without any sign-up friction
- Install analytics entirely from code (CDN or NPM) without visiting a website first
- Prototype or test analytics on a new project quickly
If you already have a 99dev account and want to retain your existing credits and wallet balance, consider creating sites through your account instead.
