List the browsers visitors used

GET/v1/results/analytics/browsers
View as Markdown

Lists the browsers visitors used, with each one's visitors and page views, most visitors first. It answers with a plain list, not a table: there is no paging, sorting or search, and the list stops at limit.

Browsers are named as Silktide recognizes them, so Safari on an iPhone is Mobile Safari, apart from Safari on a Mac. Browsers past limit are left out, not gathered into Other; Other is a browser Silktide did not recognize.

iconUrl is an image on the API host for showing beside the name; it is null for browsers Silktide has no icon for.
