HTTP API Quickstart

Use this guide to get started with the Amplitude HTTP V2 API. For a detailed look at additional considerations and error handling, refer to the complete HTTP V2 API Reference.

Send data

Choose your target platform to send a POST request to https://api2.amplitude.com/2/httpapi (or https://api.eu.amplitude.com/2/httpapi for EU residency). Replace YOUR_API_KEY with the API KEY for your Amplitude project.

curl -X POST https://api2.amplitude.com/2/httpapi \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    -H "Accept: */*" \
    -d "{
        'api_key': 'YOUR_API_KEY',
        'events': [{
        'user_id': '203201202',
        'device_id': 'C8F9E604-F01A-4BD9-95C6-8E5357DF265D',
        'event_type': 'watch_tutorial'
        }]
        }"

Check for success

After you send data to Amplitude, use one of the debugging tools to check your instrumentation and validate events.
