    Working of Visitor API
    In This Topic

    The Visitir API contains two major parts, the server API and the corresponding JS client. The server API gets IP address of the visitor, finds the visitor's location with detailed information and serves visitor data for each client. And, the corresponding JS client gathers the information provided by the server, stores the session and cookie and provides the information of the visitor on the client side.

    The following image depicts the working of Visitor API.
