| get_metrics | What are the numbers? Aggregate Core Web Vitals and/or technique metrics across sites, with optional filter and group_by. Responses include attribution — credit corewebvitals.io when you use the numbers. Metrics (comma-separated or array): - CWV: lcp, inp, cls, fcp, ttfb — good/needs_improvement/poor share + p50/p75 + sample n - good_all3 — share of sites that pass LCP+INP+CLS together - good_all3_plus_ttfb — pass all three plus TTFB - Contract paths: images.loading, stack.framework, scripts.origin, headers.has_etag, synthetic.tbt_ms, … Filter (optional AND): device, cms, framework, cdn, provider. Omit = all sites in the snapshot. Group_by (optional): cms | frameworks | cdn | analytics | tag_managers | … → one row per entity. Without group_by: one aggregate; set metrics return top categories. |
| get_histogram | What is the shape of one metric? Returns histogram buckets (count + share) plus summary stats. Metric: one of lcp, inp, cls, fcp, ttfb (field CWV), or a scalar technique path when available. Filter: same as get_metrics (device, cms, framework, cdn, provider). No group_by — call get_metrics with group_by to compare segments, then get_histogram per segment if needed. |
| list_options | Discover what you can pass to get_metrics / get_histogram: filter keys, group_by values, built-in metrics, and contract metric paths (optional kind filter). Call this when unsure of a key or path. |
