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

post_api_key *Token for data uploading. You can get it in the Settings section of your application.
application_id *Unique numeric identifier for the application in AppMetrica.
profile_id *User profile ID. The Post API allows you only to upload data for identifiers that were previously sent via the SDK.
Attention. Do not pass the value with the appmetrica_device_id parameter. The server accepts only one of these parameters.
appmetrica_device_id *Hash from the unique identifier of the device set by AppMetrica. The Post API allows you only to upload data for identifiers that were previously sent via the SDK.
Attention. Do not pass the value with the profile_id parameter. The server accepts only one of these parameters.
event_name *Event name.
timestamp *Time of the event in the UNIX timestamp format.

You can upload events only if the difference between the event date (event_timestamp) and the upload date is no more than seven days.

event_jsonEvent attributes serialized into JSON. Event parameters can be nested, such as {"param1":"param2","param1":{"param2":"param3"}}.

For more information about events, see .

session_typeThe type of session. Possible values:
  • foreground — In the Events report AppMetrica increases the Users metric.
  • background — In the Events report AppMetrica increases the Devices metric. Such events are not included to the report with grouping by users, and into the profile card.
