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.

The event timestamp in milliseconds. This prevents browser caching of otherwise identical get requests. The name is abbreviated to reduce the payload bytes.

The request body must be empty.
