bumpkit-counter

name	bumpkit-counter
description	Create, increment (bump), and read counters using the Bumpkit API at bumpkit.tphummel.workers.dev. Use when you need a persistent named counter that can be incremented and queried by ID.

Bumpkit Counter

Manage persistent named counters (called "bumpers") via the Bumpkit API.

Base URL: https://bumpkit.tphummel.workers.dev

A bumper is identified by a string id you choose. Bumping auto-creates the bumper if it doesn't exist yet — there's no separate create step.

Operations

Read a counter

curl https://bumpkit.tphummel.workers.dev/bumper/{id}.json

Returns 404 if the bumper doesn't exist yet.

Response:

{
  "id": "my-counter",
  "count": 42,
  "created_at": "2024-01-01T00:00:00Z",
  "updated_at": "2024-01-02T00:00:00Z",
  "expires_at": null
}

Bump (increment) a counter

Creates the bumper if it doesn't exist, then increments count by 1.

curl -X POST https://bumpkit.tphummel.workers.dev/bumper/{id}/bump.json
# or GET also works:
curl https://bumpkit.tphummel.workers.dev/bumper/{id}/bump.json

Returns the updated bumper JSON (same schema as read).

Delete a counter

curl -X DELETE https://bumpkit.tphummel.workers.dev/bumper/{id}

Returns 200 on success, 404 if not found.

Read metadata only (no body)

curl -I https://bumpkit.tphummel.workers.dev/bumper/{id}

Useful response headers: bumper-id, bumper-count, bumper-created-at, bumper-updated-at, bumper-expires-at.
