Server side 
We allow data to be sent server side or from mobile apps.
You can send us the regular data point fields and include metadata.
To view this data, it’s usually enough to use the Events Explorer, but you can also create goals for events you check often.
Sending data
The following information is targeted at developers. Don’t get scared away, they know what this means.
Customer can send their data to this endpoint: https://queue.simpleanalyticscdn.com/events. It should be JSON.
It’s advised to include the user agent of the device because the defaults could be detected as robots.
Events
Example payload of the data for an event:
{
"type": "event",
"hostname": "example.com",
"event": "event-name",
"ua": "User Agent"
}
Page views
The endpoint for the page views is the same as for events.
Example payload of the data for a page view:
{
"type": "pageview",
"hostname": "example.com",
"event": "pageview",
"ua": "User Agent"
}
Example
Occasionally you just want to send some test data. Here is an example with cURL to send data:
curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{
"type": "event",
"hostname": "mobile-app.example.com",
"event": "consent",
"metadata": {
"button": "yes"
},
"ua": "Your User Agent"
}' https://queue.simpleanalyticscdn.com/events
If you’d like, you can copy and paste the above cURL command into your terminal to test it. It shows up in your dashboard within a few minutes (typically way faster).
You can always export the raw latest data from our dashboard, or use the Events Explorer to find your events.
