🔍 Matomo Tracking API Java Client

⚠️ This library was integrated into the official Matomo Java Tracker library

A lightweight client library for JVM-based applications that helps you to track page views, events, visits using the Matomo Tracking API:

• Automatically performs bulk requests with a configurable delay (default: 1 second)
• Keeps queries until the request was transmitted successfully: If requests fail, the queries will not get lost.
• Supports nearly all tracking parameters
• The request API is designed with fluent builders and immutability.
• Performs asynchronous calls so that your application is not influenced by the Matomo endpoint speed
• Easy to use
• Well documented with Javadoc
• Ensures correct values are sent to Matomo Tracking API
• Includes debug logging
• Minimal dependencies (only SLF4J and JSR-305 annotations)
• Easy to integrate in frameworks, e.g. Spring: Just create the MatomoTracker Spring bean and use it in other beans

🔧 Usage

Include the dependency using Maven

<dependency>
  <groupId>org.drjekyll</groupId>
  <artifactId>matomo-tracker</artifactId>
  <version>1.2.0</version>
</dependency>

or Gradle with Groovy DSL:

implementation 'org.drjekyll:matomo-tracker:1.2.0'

or Gradle with Kotlin DSL:

implementation("org.drjekyll:matomo-tracker:1.2.0")

Run your build tool and add the tracker like in the following example:

TrackerConfiguration config = TrackerConfiguration.builder()
  .apiEndpoint(URI.create("https://your-domain.net/matomo/matomo.php"))
  .defaultSiteId(42) // if not explicitly specified by action
  .build();

// Prepare the tracker (stateless - can be used for multiple actions)
MatomoTracker tracker = new MatomoTracker(config);

// Track an action
CompletableFuture<Void> future = tracker.track(Action.builder()
  .name("User Profile / Upload Profile Picture")
  .url("https://your-domain.net/user/profile/picture")
  .visitorId(VisitorId.fromHash("[email protected]".hashCode()))
  // ...
.build());

// If you want to ensure the request has been handled:
if(future.isCompletedExceptionally()){
  // log, throw, ...
}

This example sends a request to a Matomo endpoint. Usually many more parameters should be set.

⚙️ Tracker Parameters

The Matomo Tracker currently supports the following builder methods:

• .apiEndpoint(...) An URI object that points to the Matomo Tracking API endpoint of your Matomo installation. Must be set.
• .defaultSiteId(...) If you provide a default site id, it will be taken if the action does not contain a site id.
• .defaultTokenAuth(...) If you provide a default token auth, it will be taken if the action does not contain a token auth.
• .delay(...) The duration on how long the tracker collects actions until they will be sent out as a bulk request. Default: 1 seconds
• .enabled(...) The tracker is enabled per default. You can disable it per configuration with this flag.
• .logFailedTracking(...) Will send errors to the log if the Matomo Tracking API responds with an errornous HTTP code
• .connectTimeout(...) allows you to change the default connection timeout of 10 seconds. 0 is interpreted as infinite, null uses the system default
• .socketTimeout(...) allows you to change the default socket timeout of 10 seconds. 0 is interpreted as infinite, null uses the system default
• .userAgent(...) used by the request made to the endpoint is MatomoJavaClient per default. You can change it by using this builder method.
• .proxyHost(...) The hostname or IP address of an optional HTTP proxy. proxyPort must be configured as well
• .proxyPort(...) The port of an HTTP proxy. proxyHost must be configured as well.
• .proxyUserName(...) If the HTTP proxy requires a user name for basic authentication, it can be configured with this method. Proxy host, port and password must also be set.
• .proxyPassword(...) The corresponding password for the basic auth proxy user. The proxy host, port and user name must be set as well.
