Agent pitfalls & tips
- API key goes in request body for ingestion, not header.
- user_id OR device_id required per event — at least one.
- Use Identify API to set user properties separately from events.
- Cohort API for creating/exporting behavioral cohorts.
- Data is available for query within ~1 minute of ingestion.
