# Event Tracking Service API (1.1)
Tracking of events of any type for logging and future analysis purposes
## Tracking
Endpoints to capture events.
In each endpoint, the complete requested will be captured. Thus, additional query parameters and json properties in the request payload can be added on top of the ones described here.
## Capture event
All the contents of the HTTP request are logged and indexed for future analysis. That includes the full URL with query parameters and all request headers (including Audience-specific cookies).
This endpoint then returns the string "OK".
##### Query Parameters
| Parameter | Description |
|---------------------|-------------|
| id_{idType} | string
Overrides the request _UserId_ which is extracted by Cookie by default.
The `{idType}` should be replaced with the type of the _UserId_ while the parameter value will be _UserId_'s id itself. |
| user[type] | string
Overrides the request _UserId_ which is extracted by Cookie by default.
It must be defined together with `user[id]`.
It has less precedence than the `id_{idType}` query param.
This query param must be sent url encoded (`user%5Btype%5D=`). |
| user[id] | string
Overrides the request _UserId_ which is extracted by Cookie by default.
It must be defined together with `user[type]`.
It has less precedence than the `id_{idType}` query param.
This query param must be sent url encoded (`user%5Bid%5D=`). |
| cookieCheck | string
If missing along with the **adstax_uid** Cookie, the request will be redirected to self to
test cookie stickiness. The redirect will have this query param set to true. |
| clientId | string
The client identifier |
| siteId | string
The site identifier |
| type | string
