This reference describes /events, the endpoint you should use to submit analytics events to Meilisearch Cloud. It also describes the accepted event objects and the data you must include in them.

​
The /events endpoint

The /events endpoint is only available for Meilisearch Cloud projects with analytics and monitoring activated.

​
Send an event

POST https://edge.meilisearch.com/events
