  title: Segment HTTP Tracking Track API
  description: The Segment HTTP Tracking API enables developers to record analytics data from any website or application by sending HTTP requests directly to Segment servers. It supports identify, track, page, screen, group, alias, and batch calls, and Segment routes the collected data to configured destinations. The API accepts batch requests up to 500 KB and requires each payload to include a userId or anonymousId. It is a server-side alternative to Segment's client-side SDKs.
