An event that describes the action of viewing content, such as a newspaper article, on a website.

Here's an example of a _Content View_:

- JavaScript
- Swift
- Kotlin

```javascript
pcdp("event", "track", {

"clientId": "kevel",

"siteId": "kevel.com",

"type": "contentView",

"customFields": {

"debug": "true",

"role": "superuser"

},

"content": {

"id": "25545c",

"name": "Internet reaches 4bn users",

"categoriesList": [

"News",

"Internet"

],

"media": "article",

"access": "paid"

}

})
```

```swift
import Foundation

let event = """
{

"clientId": "kevel",

"siteId": "kevel.com",

"type": "contentView",

"customFields": {

"debug": "true",

"role": "superuser"

},

"content": {

"id": "25545c",

"name": "Internet reaches 4bn users",

"categoriesList": [

"News",

"Internet"

],

"media": "article",

"access": "paid"

}
}
"""

let trackUrl = "https://tr.cdp.\(websiteDomain)/events"

var urlComponents = URLComponents(string: trackUrl)!

urlComponents.queryItems = [  
  URLQueryItem(name: "id_\(idType)", value: id),  
  URLQueryItem(name: "cookies", value: "false")  
]

var request = URLRequest(url: urlComponents.url!)

request.httpMethod = "POST"

request.setValue("application/json", forHTTPHeaderField: "Content-Type")

request.setValue(userAgent, forHTTPHeaderField: "User-Agent")

request.httpBody = event.data(using: .utf8)!

URLSession.shared.dataTask(with: request).resume()
```

```kotlin
import androidx.core.net.toUri

import org.json.JSONObject

import java.net.URL

import javax.net.ssl.HttpsURLConnection

val event = """
{

"clientId": "kevel",

"siteId": "kevel.com",

"type": "contentView",

"customFields": {

"debug": "true",

"role": "superuser"

},

"content": {

"id": "25545c",

"name": "Internet reaches 4bn users",

"categoriesList": [

"News",

"Internet"

],

"media": "article",

"access": "paid"

}
}
"""

val trackUri = "https://tr.cdp.$websiteDomain/events".toUri().buildUpon()
    .appendQueryParameter("id_\(idType)", id)
    .appendQueryParameter("cookies", "false")

coroutineScope.launch(Dispatchers.IO) {
    val conn = (URL(trackUri.toString()).openConnection() as HttpsURLConnection).apply {
        requestMethod = "POST"
        setRequestProperty("User-Agent", userAgent)
        setRequestProperty("Content-Type", "application/json")
        doOutput = true
    }

conn.outputStream.use { os ->
        os.write(event.toByteArray(Charsets.UTF_8))
    }

try {
        conn.responseCode
    } finally {
        conn.disconnect()
    }
}
```
