Semust Metrik
Installation
Add the Metrik script to your site with HTML, Google Tag Manager or WordPress.
Installing Metrik takes one script, loaded on every page of your site. There is no library to add, no build step and no server configuration.
Product page: Semust Metrik.
Find your access key
Each project uses its own access key (token). Keys start with mk_.
Open your project
Go to app.semust.com, select your project and open the Semust Metrik tab.
Copy the key
If no data has arrived yet, the install screen appears straight away with a ready-made script. Once data is flowing, the key lives under Settings → Access Key.
The key is not a secret
Your access key appears in every visitor's page source, so it does not need to be kept
private. To replace it, use Settings → Rotate Key — this invalidates the old key
immediately, so update data-token on your site at the same time.
Installation methods
<script src="https://unpkg.com/semust-js@latest/dist/semust-js.min.js"
data-token="mk_your-key-here"></script><script>
window.semustMetrikConfig = {
"token": "mk_your-key-here"
};

<script src="https://unpkg.com/semust-js@latest/dist/semust-js.min.js"></script><script src="https://unpkg.com/semust-js@latest/dist/semust-js.min.js"
data-token="mk_your-key-here"></script>HTML
Add the script to your site's head section. Make sure it loads on every page.
Google Tag Manager
In GTM choose Tags → New → Custom HTML, paste the code above, set the trigger to All Pages, then save and publish.
Use a Custom HTML tag in GTM
GTM's built-in templates cannot preserve data-* attributes. That is why the GTM setup
passes settings through window.semustMetrikConfig instead of data-token, and why the
tag type must be Custom HTML.
WordPress
Install a header-scripts plugin (for example Insert Headers and Footers) and paste the code into the Header section.
Verify the installation
Visit your site
Open a page on your own site. Typing
window.semustMetrikin the browser console should return an object.Check the dashboard
The install screen checks for the first data every 10 seconds and switches to the dashboard automatically once it arrives. This usually takes a few seconds.
If nothing arrives, see Troubleshooting.
