| Description | The amp-pixel element is meant to be used as a typical tracking pixel - to count page views. |
| Availability | Stable |
| Examples | everything.amp.html |
The amp-pixel component behaves like a simple tracking pixel img. It takes a single URL, but provides variables that can be replaced by the component in the URL string when making the request. See the src attribute for more information.
src
A simple URL to send a GET request to when the tracking pixel is loaded.
The amp-pixel allows all standard URL variable substitutions.
See Substitutions Guide for more info.
For instance:
<amp-pixel src="https://foo.com/pixel?RANDOM"></amp-pixel>may make a request to something like https://foo.com/pixel?0.8390278471201 where the RANDOM value is randomly generated upon each impression.
amp-pixel should not be styled.
