Configuration Reference

Base URL for API calls. Default: https://api.adberserk.com (auto-detected from the host the loader script was served from). Change this if you use a custom domain or proxy.

Number of events to queue before sending. Default: 10.

Milliseconds between automatic flushes. Default: 2000.

Custom headers to include with every network request.

Enable automatic capture of clicks and form submissions. Default: true, which captures links and forms only — note buttons is not in the default set, so <button> clicks need { elements: [...] }. Pass an object to choose element types: { elements: ['links', 'forms', 'buttons'] }. Valid types: links, forms, buttons, inputs, selects, textareas, changes.

A per-location override set through the Settings API (PUT /client/v1/settings/autocapture) takes precedence over this option, so an agency can turn autocapture off or change its element types without editing this snippet. The override does not reach sites that set disable_remote_config: true.

Auto-capture a $pageview event on page load. Default: true.

Auto-capture page views on SPA navigation (History API pushState/replaceState). Default: true.

Auto-capture a $pageleave event with time-on-page and exit intent data. Default: true.

Auto-capture UTM parameters and advertising click IDs from the URL. Default: true.

Track text copied to clipboard. Default: false.

Storage strategy. Options: 'localStorage', 'cookie', 'memory', 'localStorage+cookie'. Default: 'localStorage+cookie'. When the browser blocks localStorage (private browsing, Firefox Focus), the localStorage modes degrade to tab-scoped sessionStorage — a multi-page visit keeps one device/session id (and one session replay) instead of minting fresh ids on every navigation, while nothing outlives the tab, honoring the browser's privacy stance. If sessionStorage is also blocked, 'localStorage' falls to memory and 'localStorage+cookie' to cookies. Explicit 'memory' is never escalated.

Custom prefix for storage keys. Defaults to {globalName}_{key}_.

Custom cookie name when using cookie persistence.

Cookie lifetime in days. Default: 365.

Share cookies across subdomains. Default: true.

Set the Secure flag on cookies. Default: true on HTTPS.

Honor the browser's Do Not Track setting. Default: false.

Start with tracking disabled. Requires explicit opt_in(). Default: false.

When true, no events are sent until grantConsent() is called. Default: false.

Automatically sync consent from Google Consent Mode v2 via the dataLayer. When enabled, forces requireConsent: true. Pass an object for custom settings: { enabled: true, consentParam: 'analytics_storage', dataLayerName: 'dataLayer' }.

Allow calling identify with a different user ID after one has already been set. Default: false — re-identification is blocked to prevent accidental merges. Call reset() before identifying as a different user, or set this to true to permit switching identities directly. (An identity previously set only by auto-capture can always be overridden by a later identify().)

Session timeout in milliseconds. After this period of inactivity, a new session starts. Default: 4 hours (14400000).

Enable verbose console logging. Default: false.

Even more detailed logging (includes internal state). Default: false.

Log events to console instead of sending them. Useful for development. Default: false.

Enable HIPAA mode. Applies a hipaaFilter to all outgoing events (whitelists safe properties, redacts PHI from URLs, and drops $set/$set_once person-property mutations) and force-disables autocapture, form identification, input capture, framework extraction, GTM sync, booking/survey listeners, network interception, geolocation, cross-domain tracking, web vitals, error tracking, and cookies. It also forces respect_dnt, mask_all_text, mask_all_element_attributes, disable_remote_config, and persistence: 'localStorage'. These overrides are immutable — updateConfig() cannot re-enable them. Default: false.

Prevent loading server-defined configuration from the /decide endpoint: tags, snippets, transformers, and the per-location session_replay, error_tracking, and autocapture overrides. Setting this cuts the site off from server-side control, so those overrides can no longer be changed without editing the snippet. Force-enabled in HIPAA mode. Default: false.

Disable cookie-based storage entirely. Force-enabled in HIPAA mode. Default: false.

Maximum hours to retain data in local storage; stale data is purged on init. Default: 24 in HIPAA mode, 0 (disabled) otherwise.

Mask text content in autocaptured events. Force-enabled in HIPAA mode.

Mask element attributes in autocaptured events. Force-enabled in HIPAA mode.

Called with the Mythic instance after initialization completes. Signature: (instance) => void.

Transform or filter events before sending. Return the event to send it, or null to drop it. Signature: (event) => event | null.

Modify properties before they are attached to an event. Signature: (properties, eventName) => properties.

Called when a network request fails. Signature: (error) => void.

Automatically identify users from email fields on form submission. Default: true.

Capture email addresses as they are typed into input fields. Default: true.

Automatically detect and track booking API calls (LeadConnector, Calendly, Acuity). Default: true. Fires appointment_booked, calendly_booked, or acuity_booked.

Automatically track survey submission API calls (LeadConnector, Typeform, SurveyMonkey). Default: true. Fires survey_completed, typeform_submitted, or surveymonkey_completed.

Intercept fetch/XHR requests to the endpoints listed in network_endpoints and capture them as events. Default: false.

Custom endpoints to monitor when auto_network_intercept is enabled. Each entry: { url, method?, event_name, event_prefix?, extract_fields? }. url supports wildcards (e.g. */api/checkout).

Extract page context from frameworks (Nuxt, Next.js, React, Vue, Angular). Default: true. Pass an object for control: { enabled: true, framework: 'auto', extract_properties: ['funnelId', 'pageId'] }.

Sync events to Google Tag Manager's dataLayer. Default: true.

Buffer events until framework extraction completes so the first $pageview includes framework-detected properties. Default: true when auto_framework_extract is enabled. A 2-second safety timeout prevents indefinite blocking; set to false to opt out of buffering.

Capture Core Web Vitals (LCP, FID, CLS, FCP, TTFB, INP). Default: false. Pass an object for fine-grained control: { enabled: true, metrics: ['LCP', 'CLS', 'INP'], sample_rate: 0.5 }.

Capture uncaught JS errors and unhandled promise rejections as $exception events (with type, message, and stack). Default: true. Grouping into issues happens in the read layer; the SDK ships the raw fields. Force-disabled under HIPAA.

A per-exception-type token bucket keeps a page that throws in a loop from flooding ingestion: each error type gets burst events, then one every refillSeconds, while other types keep their own budget. Pass an object to tune it: { burst: 10, refillSeconds: 10, maxPerPage: 100 } (maxPerPage is a coarse backstop across all types). When errors are suppressed, the next $exception that gets through carries an $exception_suppressed count.

Capturing load-time errors requires early placement. The loader installs its error listeners synchronously when it runs and buffers anything thrown before the SDK core finishes loading. But it can't see errors thrown before the loader itself executes — so if you inject the loader through a tag manager (e.g. GTM), that tag manager's own init errors are missed. Load the loader directly in <head>, above the tag-manager container, to capture them. See the installation note.

This setting is also server-controllable: a per-location override is served via remote config and, when set, wins over this init value (HIPAA still forces it off).

Record user sessions (DOM, console, and network activity) with rrweb for later playback. Default: false (off). Pass true to enable with defaults, or an object for control:

• enabled (boolean) — turn recording on. Default: false.
• sampleRate (number, 0–1) — fraction of sessions to record, decided deterministically per session ID. Default: 1.
• minDurationMs (number) — only keep a recording once the session has lasted this long (measured on session age, across page loads). Events buffer from the start, but nothing is transmitted (and no recording appears) until the threshold is crossed, so shorter bounce sessions send zero data. Default: 10000 (10s); set 0 to keep every recording.
• maskAllInputs (boolean) — mask all form input values. Default: true.
• captureConsole (boolean) — record console log/warn/error calls. Default: true.
• captureNetwork (boolean) — record fetch/XHR/resource timing (a waterfall). Default: true.
• recordNetworkHeaders (boolean) — include request/response headers. Default: false.
• recordNetworkBody (boolean) — include response bodies (capped at 10 KB). Default: false.
• blockSelector (string) — CSS selector for elements to exclude from the recording.
• maskTextSelector (string) — CSS selector for text nodes to mask.
• flushEventThreshold (number) — buffered events before an upload. Default: 100.
• flushIntervalMs (number) — maximum milliseconds between uploads. Default: 5000.

Capture click positions and scroll depth for heatmaps. Default: false (off). Pass true to enable with defaults, or an object for control:

• flushIntervalMs (number) — maximum milliseconds between batches. Default: 5000.
• maxBufferPoints (number) — hard cap on points per interval. Points past it are dropped (and counted in $heatmap_dropped on the event) rather than triggering an early send, so a page emits at most one $heatmap event per interval no matter how much clicking happens on it. Default: 200.

This is not the same thing as autocapture. Autocapture records which element was clicked — its text, href, classes. This records which pixel, and reads no element identity or text at all. Enable either, both, or neither.

Points ride the normal event pipeline as a batched $heatmap event, so consent gating, before_send, and opt-out apply exactly as they do to any other event. Clicks on position fixed/sticky elements are flagged so a heatmap renderer can place them correctly instead of streaking one sticky nav down the whole page. Scroll depth is measured once per page per session, when the visitor leaves it.

Detect that a third-party split-testing tool has bucketed this visitor and attach the assignment to the session. Default: true (on). Supported platform: Convert.com. Pass false to disable, or an object for control:

• trackExposures (boolean) — emit the $experiment_viewed event. Default: true.
• pollWindowMs (number) — how long after init to keep re-reading the testing tool's cookie, in milliseconds. The tool usually buckets within a second; the window exists because it runs after the SDK on a normal page load. Default: 10000.
• dataLayerName (string) — the dataLayer global to observe. Default: 'dataLayer'.

Nothing needs tagging on the page. Every event after detection carries two super properties — $experiments (an array of "<experimentId>:<variationId>") and $ab_platform — and each assignment produces one $experiment_viewed event per session, with experiment_id, variation_id and variation_name where the tool exposes them.

Assignments are read from the testing tool's own cookie, which holds the authoritative experiment-to-variation mapping and is already populated for visitors who arrived through a split-URL redirect. Sessions the SDK identifies as bots record no assignment — a crawler executing a testing tool would otherwise count as an exposure in whichever arm it landed in. The tool's dataLayer announcement is observed as well, to catch bucketing that happens later in a single-page app and to pick up variation names.

Forward Mythic conversion events to the visitor's testing tool so its own experiment readout gets credited — the client maintains the conversion once, in Mythic, instead of tagging goals in both systems. Default: false (off). Pass true or an object:

• goals (object, required to do anything) — maps Mythic event names to the tool goals to notify:
  { goals: {
      order_completed: [{ platform: 'convert', goalId: '<dashboard goal id>' }],
      purchase: [{ platform: 'growthbook', name: 'purchase' }]
  } }
  

• oncePerSession (boolean) — forward each goal at most once per session. Default: true.
• maxPerSession (number) — hard cap on forwards per session. Default: 10.

Platform support: Convert.com (goalId is the dashboard goal id; queued through Convert's _conv_q so it works whether Convert loads before or after us), GrowthBook (.track(name)), and a generic custom platform that dispatches a mythic:ab_conversion CustomEvent on window for tools without a native adapter. VWO and Mida are not wired yet — their programmatic goal APIs are unverified, and guessed API shapes produce silent no-ops.

Enrich events with IP-based geolocation data. Default: enabled at city level. Pass an object for control: { enabled: true, level: 'country' | 'region' | 'city', cache_duration: 86400000, api_endpoint: '...' }. cache_duration is in milliseconds (default 86400000, 24 hours). Set api_endpoint: false to skip the external lookup API, or set the whole option to false to disable geolocation.

Track users across domains by decorating links with session IDs. Opt-in only. Default: false. Pass { enabled: true, domains: ['app.example.com', 'docs.example.com'] }.

Client-side rate limiting. Example: { events_per_second: 10, events_burst_limit: 50 }.

Properties merged into every event from initialization. Equivalent to calling set() at startup. Default: {}.

CSS selector for forms tracked by auto_form_identify. Default: 'form, .c-form, [data-form]'.

Field names to strip from captured form/network data (passwords, tokens, card numbers, etc.). Your list is used in place of the built-in defaults.

Maximum size, in characters, of captured network/form payloads. Default: 6000.

Maximum length for individual string property values. Default: 65535.

Completely disable tracking. Default: false.

Disable localStorage and cookies, keeping data in memory only. Default: false.
