CodeArt.MatomoTracking

Opensource Matomo Tracking API for .NET. This library is based on the official Matomo Tracking API documentation: https://developer.matomo.org/api-reference/tracking-api and wraps the API calls in a simple to use .NET library. Initial version made by Allan Thraen for CodeArt.

Installation

Register the Matomo Tracking as a service in Dependency Injection.

        var services = new ServiceCollection();
        
        //Needs IConfiguration - but this might already be registered in your project
        services.AddScoped<IConfiguration>(_ => configuration);
		
        services.AddMatomoTracking(options =>
        {
            options.MatomoUrl = "https://[My matomo hostname]/";
            options.SiteId = "[My site id]";
            options.AuthToken ="[My auth token]"; //Optional
            options.TrackBots = true; //Optional
            options.VerboseLogging = true; //Optional - logs the URLs tracked.
        });
        var serviceProvider = services.BuildServiceProvider();

Configuration

If you have a configuration file, you can also set the configuration directly there under the "Matomo" node.

{
  "Matomo": {
	"MatomoHostname": "[My matomo hostname]",
	"SiteId": "[My site id]"
  }
}

Usage

You can track many different things, for example:

• Pageviews using PageViewTrackingItems
• Events using EventTrackingItems
• Ecommerce using EcommerceTrackingItems
• Content using ContentTrackingItems

For the official documentation of what to track - and when, refer to the (official documentation)[https://developer.matomo.org/api-reference/tracking-api]

Tracking a page view

    await tracker.Track(new PageViewTrackingItem()
    {
        Url = "app://myapp/page1",
        UserID = "test@test.com",
        NewVisit = true,
        ActionName = "Page 1",
        PageViewID = pvid
    });

Tracking in bulk

You can also track multiple items in the same call like this:

    await tracker.Track(new PageViewTrackingItem()
    {
        Url = "app://myapp/page1",
        UserID = "test@test.com",
        NewVisit = true,
        ActionName = "Page 1",
        PageViewID = pvid
    },
    new EventTrackingItem()
    {
        Url = "app://myapp/page1",
        UserID = "test", 
        NewVisit = false,
        ActionName = "Form submit",
        PageViewID = pvid,
        EventCategory = "Form",
        EventAction = "Submit",
        EventName = "Newsletter form"
    });
