Quickstart | SeerStack

This guide shows you how to integrate SeerStack into your application. You'll learn how to authenticate, identify users, and send your first event.

1. Get your API Key

You need an API key to send data to SeerStack.

Log in to the SeerStack Dashboard.
Go to Settings > Developer.
Copy your Publishable Key.

2. Install the SDK

Install the official TypeScript/JavaScript library:

npm install seerstack

3. Initialize the client

import Seerstack from 'seerstack';

const client = new Seerstack({
  apiKey: process.env['SEERSTACK_API_KEY'], // e.g. 'sk_live_...'
});

4. Send an event

Send a test event to verify your integration.

const response = await client.events.capture({
  name: 'test.event',
  user_id: 'internal_user',
  data: {
    message: 'Hello World',
    browser: 'Chrome'
  }
});

console.log(response.success); // true

Check your Dashboard — you should see the event appear instantly.

5. Identify a user (optional)

Associate user traits to enrich your events with user context.

await client.users.identify({
  user_id: 'user_123',
  email: 'grace@hopper.com',
  name: 'Grace Hopper',
  attributes: {
    plan: 'enterprise',
    team_size: 15
  }
});
