  title: V1 Lytics System Events API
  version: 1.0.0
  description: "The Lytics API is a _restful_ *JSON* api that includes:\n* *Data Collection* api's for collection, and upload of custom data.\n* *Personalization api* for real-time user profile usage in personalization.\n* *Segmentation api* for lists of users, and creating/managing the segmentation rules.\n* *Catalog api* for schema information.\n* *Content api* for content recommendation, and content-classification to drive personalization.\n* *Management api* for general account management.\n## Authentication\nThe *Lytics API* supports authentication using one of the following:\nLogin to your account [Lytics App](https://activate.getlytics.com) and navigate to *Account* to find your keys.\nAfter you have acquired your token, use it to access the Lytics API.\nOur api supports two methods for authorization:\n*  query string url parameter, using **access_token**\n*  http **Authorization** HEADER\n\n```\n# example showing passing auth token in header\ncurl -XPOST 'https://api.lytics.io/api/segment' \\\n    -H \"Authorization: pretendtoken8762\" \\\n    -H 'Content-type: application/json' \\\n    -d '{\"notreal\" : []}'\n\n# example as query string parameter\ncurl -XPOST 'https://api.lytics.io/api/segment?access_token=804ef78pretendtoken8762' \\\n    -H 'Content-type: application/json' \\\n    -d '{\"notreal\" : []}'\n\n```\n\nAdditionally, there are two types of authentication token's:\n\n* *User Auth Token* is normally just for the web admin. But may be used on the api, this is a user-specific token, and attributes actions to this user. This token expires.\n\n* *API User* is a less privileged role and does not expire.  But, less history is available on actions.\n\n## IP Whitelisting\n\nFor better security, you can manage access to the Lytics API using the IP address whitelisting api_ip_whitelist setting on your account. This setting will also be applied to manage admin access to your Lytics account.\n\nProvide a CIDR value for the range of IP addresses you trust. Lytics will then ignore any unauthenticated users and/or IP addresses that fall out of the valid range. This means you can grant access to only your trusted users.\n\nWhat is CIDR?\nCIDR is a flexible allocation of IP addresses. Use an [IP address tool] (https://www.ipaddressguide.com/), to convert your IP addresses into a CIDR format, either v4 or v6.\n\n## Documentation Examples\n\nWe use [jq json command line prettifier](https://stedolan.github.io/jq/) in our examples throughout this doc.\n\n## Media Types\n\nOur API is a JSON REST API. We have data-upload api's which support\ncsv uploads as well.\n\nRequests with a message-body use plain JSON to set or update resource states.\n\n## Error States\n\nThe common [HTTP Response Status Codes](https://github.com/for-GET/know-your-http-well/blob/master/status-codes.md) are used.\n\n## Query Parameters\n\nA variety of places our api accepts query parameters that allow a list of values.\nThe documentation will often say it allows `[]string or []int` (meaning an array of strings, or integers).\nWhen this occurs, we allow a variety of formats to pass these.\n\n*  `ids=1234`         convert this to []string{\"123\"}\n\n*  `ids=[123,456]`    convert this to []string{\"123\",\"456\"}\n\n*  `ids=123,456`      convert this to []string{\"123\",\"456\"}\n\n*  `ids=123&ids=456`  convert this to []string{\"123\",\"456\"}\n\n*  `ids[]=123&ids[]=456`  convert this to []string{\"123\",\"456\"}  Note that we alias ids[] = ids"
