Google Analytics Measurement Protocol

The Measurement Protocol for Google Analytics 4 allows developers to send events directly to Google Analytics servers for web and app streams. Fire-and-forget: the production endpoint returns HTTP 204 with an empty body and never reports validation errors, so a separate validation endpoint exists. Authenticates with a per-data-stream api_secret rather than OAuth.
