Data Collection API

Why isn’t this fully documented in the Quick Start Center?
It is recommended that you first set up the Oracle Infinity platform for web to allow you to explore and understand the core concepts before moving on to more advanced methods such as using the Data Collection API or the Mobile SDK.

The Data Collection API (DCAPI) allows you to send data to Oracle Infinity from applications or sites that do not have JavaScript enabled.

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.

Please see Oracle Infinity Developer Help Center - Data Collection API for further details on using this API.
