Uploading events

Uploads information about events.

Usage example: You can send offline events to AppMetrica if the user doesn't log in to the app to perform them. For example, events like full energy recovery in a game or watching a movie on a Smart TV.

Event properties can be passed in parameters or in the body of the request. When you pass data in the body, you should add .csv to the URL of the request. For more information, see Sample request.

To bind an event to a user, you should use one of the following fields in the API request:

  • profile_id
  • appmetrica_device_id

Alert

The Post API has restrictions on loading data. For more information, see Restrictions.
