If the collect user event action is applied in DataStore level, the format is: projects/{project}/locations/{location}/collections/{collection}/dataStores/{dataStore}.

userEvent |
string
Required. URL encoded UserEvent proto with a length limit of 2,000,000 characters.
|
uri |
string
The URL including cgi-parameters but excluding the hash fragment with a length limit of 5,000 characters. This is often more useful than the referer URL, because many browsers only send the domain for third-party requests.
|
ets |
string (int64 format)
The event timestamp in milliseconds. This prevents browser caching of otherwise identical get requests. The name is abbreviated to reduce the payload bytes.

Request body
The request body must be empty.
