Non-static method Spatie\Analytics\Analytics::fetchVisitorsAndPageViews() cannot be called statically

[dutypro]

I've searched high and low on the internet but can't find an answer to this.

I have added Spatie Analytics but when I add this to my controller:

use Spatie\Analytics\Period;
use Spatie\Analytics\Analytics;

...
$analytics = Analytics::fetchVisitorsAndPageViews(Period::days(7));
...

I get the following error:

Non-static method Spatie\Analytics\Analytics::fetchVisitorsAndPageViews() cannot be called statically

Where am I going wrong? I can't find anything in the documentation about the error or how to rectify it.

Try to doing this:

use Analytics;

Instead of this:

use Spatie\Analytics\Analytics;

If that returns error saying "The use statement with non-compound name 'Analytics' has no effect", then no need to import ANALYTICS. Try removing or commenting that line.

use Analytics

Displays the error message:

Undefined type 'Analytics'.

Strangely though, it still works.

This works for me! Thanks

Try

(new Spatie\Analytics\Analytics())->fetchVisitorsAndPageViews()

For use this package first of you need to add into config/app.php the AnalyticsServiceProvider in the providers array.

'providers' => [
    ...
    Spatie\Analytics\AnalyticsServiceProvider::class,
]

And only after you can use

use Analytics;
use Spatie\Analytics\Period;
 ...
$analyticsData = Analytics::fetchVisitorsAndPageViews(Period::days(7));

OR
you can use this method

use Spatie\Analytics\Analytics;
use Spatie\Analytics\AnalyticsClientFactory;
use Spatie\Analytics\Period;
 ...
$analyticsConfig = config('analytics');
$client = AnalyticsClientFactory::createForConfig($analyticsConfig);
$analytic = new Analytics($client, $analyticsConfig['view_id']);
$analyticsData = $analytic->fetchVisitorsAndPageViews(Period::days(7));
