Analyze click velocity API

Count timestamped clicks inside a supplied window. A burst is a frequency calculation, not proof of automation. Clicks are not grouped by IP.

The Analyze click velocity operation is part of the Ad Fraud Intelligence API on BRAINIAC.software. Count timestamped clicks inside a supplied window. A burst is a frequency calculation, not proof of automation. Clicks are not grouped by IP. It is exposed as POST /api/v1/ad-fraud/click-velocity-analyze and priced at $0.04 USDC on Base. Payment uses the x402 exact scheme: an unpaid call returns HTTP 402 with payment requirements; after paying the exact USDC amount, retry the same request with a payment-signature header and Idempotency-Key. No account and no API key are required. Data sources for this product: Caller-supplied click, browser, device, conversion, and campaign records processed locally Limitations: No ad platform, IP intelligence, or device-reputation service is contacted. An IP address is not used to call a visitor a bot, and location is not inferred from it. User-Agent strings, JavaScript signals, and fingerprints are caller-supplied and can be forged. A single click or a weak indicator is not a fraud accusation. Missing fields lower confidence and do not add risk. Historical duplicates and campaign patterns are visible only when those records are included in the request. Outputs are compliance prechecks, drafts, or data lookups for human review. They are not official determinations, legal advice, identity confirmation, or certified filings. Related operations in this group include Detect ad-click automation signals, Check browser property consistency, Check device characteristic consistency, Analyze click timing.
