Event schema

Full Zod schemas, ClickHouse columns, and what's required vs optional.

The single source of truth is packages/schema/src/index.ts — the Zod schemas the API validates against and the SDKs export. This page is a human-readable mirror.

TrackEventInput — POST /v1/track body

{
  event: string,                     // required, 1–128 chars
  event_id?: string,                 // 1–128 chars
  timestamp?: string,                // ISO 8601
  anonymous_id?: string,             // 1–128 chars
  user_id?: string,                  // 1–256 chars
  session_id?: string,               // 1–128 chars

  url?: string,                      // valid URL, ≤ 2048 chars
  path?: string,                     // ≤ 2048 chars
  referrer?: string,                 // ≤ 2048 chars

  properties?: Record<string, unknown>   // JSON-stringified ≤ 8 KB
}

Field	Required	Validation	Notes
event	yes	1–128 chars	Use snake_case. $-prefix reserved for system events.
event_id	no	1–128 chars	Idempotency / join key. No server-side dedup yet.
timestamp	no	ISO 8601	Server clock if omitted.
anonymous_id	no	1–128 chars	Caller-supplied UUID. Server fabricates if omitted.
user_id	no	1–256 chars	Set after /v1/identify.
session_id	no	1–128 chars	Auto-derived if omitted. See Sessions.
url	no	URL, ≤ 2048	Classifier reads this.
path	no	≤ 2048	Browser SDK fills this.
referrer	no	≤ 2048	Classifier reads this.
properties	no	≤ 8 KB stringified	Free-form JSON.

BatchInput — POST /v1/batch body

{
  events: TrackEventInput[]   // 1–1000 events
}

IdentifyInput — POST /v1/identify body

{
  anonymous_id: string,        // required, 1–128 chars
  user_id: string,             // required, 1–256 chars
  traits?: Record<string, unknown>
}

ForgetInput — POST /v1/forget body

{ user_id: string }            // required, 1–256 chars

ClassifiedSource — what the classifier returns

{
  source: string,                                  // "facebook", "google", "direct", ...
  medium: string,                                  // "paid", "organic", "social", "direct", ...
  campaign?: string,                               // utm_campaign
  confidence: "low" | "medium" | "high",
  rule_id: string                                  // which classifier rule fired
}

The full rule cascade is in Attribution.

Partitioned by toYYYYMM(timestamp), ordered by (project_id, timestamp, event_id).

Materialised views

daily_rollup

Aggregates by (project_id, day, event_name, source, medium, country, device_type). Powers /v1/stats.

Column	Type
events	SimpleAggregateFunction(sum, UInt64)
uniques	AggregateFunction(uniq, String) (HLL over anonymous_id)

sessions

One row per (project_id, session_id, anonymous_id). Powers /v1/sources and revenue attribution. Schema in Sessions.

What's not in the schema

• Email, name, address. Don't send PII.
• Raw IP. Sent in the request, never persisted — we store HMAC(ip, IP_SALT || UTC_date) only.
• City-level geo. Country only. We use Cloudflare's cf-ipcountry.
• Cookies. None set by us.

Validation errors

A failed Zod parse returns 400 invalid_payload with the flattened error tree. Example:

{
  "error": "invalid_payload",
  "details": {
    "fieldErrors": {
      "event": ["Expected string, received undefined"],
      "url": ["Invalid url"]
    }
  }
}
