The Web Analytics API refers to the parameters you can add to your website links, allowing the Fresh Relevance script to read them. This includes parameters like those used by Google Analytics. The simplest and most common way to use these parameters is to track last-click attribution from your triggered messages.

You can use Web Analytics to pass information from emails and external web pages to Fresh Relevance. This API is frequently used to read codes, which are added to links by some email marketing systems. Once the data has been read into Fresh Relevance, any data loaded to ESPs can be tagged with the most recent values. It can also be used to mailmerge in triggers.

Here's an example link from a marketing email to your website, including typical Google Analytics parameters.
