Data Collection API
The data collection API (DCAPI) allows you to send data to Oracle Infinity from applications or sites that do not have JavaScript enabled.
Note: For more details about this implementation, contact your Oracle Infinity solutions consultant.
The DCAPI is a REST API that uses a POST request to send a JSON message body containing key value pairs over HTTP/S. This provides an alternative to using the Oracle Infinity Tag and allows you to send multiple event bodies in a nested JSON block using GZIP compression. For example, the Oracle Infinity mobile SDKs use DCAPI to batch multiple events into a single compressed payload to reduce transmission time and bandwidth.
You can use the DCAPI to collect data from:
- Internet of things (IoT) devices with embedded computers and WebSocket outputs
- Server-side data collection for web-enabled applications
- Set-top boxes (STBs)
- Test benches in an automated QA lab, such as bench status, test results, runtime, and so on
Constructing a JSON payload
To send data to Oracle Infinity using the DCAPI, your JSON payload must meet the following requirements:
- It must be a valid JSON object. Use JSON validators to check that your payloads are correctly formatted and delimited.
- It can have an optional "static" field. While not required, it is useful to put common key value pairs in the static block.
- If a "static" field is present, it must have at least one valid key value pair. An empty static block is not allowed.
- Each JSON payload must contain an "events" field, which must contain at least one valid event block with at least one valid key value pair. Alternately, it may contain a list of valid events, each of which contains at least one properly JSON formatted key value pair. Empty events and empty or missing event blocks are not allowed.
- Each event must have a time stamp.
-
Send all key : value pairs as string values. E.g. "key" : "value"
The following parameters are required to successfully collect an event:
dcssip: The domain visited, such as www.example.com (if sent from a website)dcsuri: The URI stem, which is the portion of a URL that appears after the host and port and precedes the query string. It is typically the requested file or page that a user accessed.wt.dcsvididentifies an optional unique custom visitor ID you can assign to your visitors in other systems. This is separate and distinct from automatically generated visitor ID parameters sent by the Oracle Infinity Tag. If you do not send a custom value, this parameter will not be present on the hit.wt.etsindicates the Unix time stamp for the event measured in milliseconds.wt.dlspecifies a numeric identifier for the kind of event tracked, which are used for event-level filtering and reporting.wt.co_fis a random value used as a visitor ID and stored in a first-party cookie.
You can also send a variety of optional parameters for each event.
The following example JSON payload shows a simplified format with two events that share the same visitor ID (wt.co_f): a simulated page view and a subscription click.

{
"static": {
"wt.co_f": "d19aabf1-f402-4854-b890-be077afa1b89"

"events": [{
"dcsuri": "\/some\/page.html",

"wt.dl": "1",
"wt.ets": "1523448750",
"wt.ti": "Signup Click",
"wt.ev": "Click"
}
]
};
Some of its sample values are for required parameters and a few optional parameters were also included. For descriptions of the possible parameters that can be passed to data collection see the parameter reference.

POSTing a JSON payload
Once you create a valid JSON payload, use your account GUID to POST it to the following DCAPI endpoint:
https://dc.oracleinfinity.io/v3/account_GUID
Legacy implementations must be migrated to v3. Oracle Infinity no longer supports v1 or v2. Account GUID replaces dcsid as an identifier.
Tip: To receive debug messages, append dcsverbose=true to the URL. The following sample response would indicate a successful POST:
