How To: Install Admiral (API)
Step-By-Step Guide to API Installation of Admiral
NOTE: Websites hosted on WordPress should use the Admiral WordPress Plugin located HERE.
1) The Admiral install script can be found on the Install Tab of your Admiral Dashboard.
2) The install script should be pulled, cached server side, and then injected directly into the <head> tag on page.
3) The cache expiry duration should be set so as to prevent the Install API URL from being referenced directly for each pageview. Admiral recommends the expiry duration be set for one (1) hour.
**Keep in mind that the cache expiry duration will determine how long it takes the tag to change.**
4) Once your tag is installed, your analytics will begin to populate within an hour.
