Response format
The list of events
Information about a source of user appearance
(traffic source, referral)
It is used when it is necessary to track data about a source of user appearance. The event is sent when an app is first launched by a user if a user came from a tracked source. Maximum of the fields from the following accessible data must be transferred.
"rf" : [ {"timestamp":1386259227,// Required field! The date of registration"publisher":"",// Required field!

Session
In case it is possible to fix the length of a session, it is sent during the end of a session or during the next session. If there is no such possibility, send the date of the start of a session, the length of a session must be placed in the middle in case it is known. The absence of a parameter of a session's length makes it impossible to count some metrics.
"gs" : [ {"timestamp":1386259227,// The date of session's start "length":34,// The length of a session in seconds"level":3,// Player's level "inProgress": ["village"] }, …]
Real Payment
In case you transfer data related to several transactions, group them by item name.
"rp": [ {"name":"inapp_name_1",// The name of a purchase "entries": [ {"orderId":"124567.7654321",// Transaction identifier (max. 64 symbols)"price":1.99,// The price of a purchase in a transaction currency"currencyCode":"USD",// Transaction currency(ISO 4217 format)"timestamp":1386259227,// The date of a transaction"level":3,// Player's level"inProgress": ["village"] // Location (game level) in which an action has been performed },{ //If there is one more identical purchase for a report period"orderId":"1224567.7634327","price":1.99,"currencyCode":"USD","timestamp":1386259227,"level":3,"inProgress": ["village"] } ] },{ //If there are other purchases for a report period "name":"inapp_name_2","entries": [ {"orderId":"1234567.7654321","price":9.99,"currencyCode":"USD","timestamp":1386259227,"level":3,"inProgress": ["town"] } ] }]
Onboarding (tutorial) steps
The event allows to learn how a user goes through a tutorial. The event is created after every completed step.
If a tutorial that hasn't been completed is programmed to reset to the beginning, the repeated reference of identical steps will be counted and influence the statistical metrics.
"tr" : [ {"step":1,// the number of a tutorial step that has been completed "timestamp":1386259227,// date"level":3,// player's level"inProgress": ["village"],// location (game level) in which an action has been performed … }]
Use the following constants for basic actions:
"step" : -1 // The beginning of a tutorial(before completing the first step)
"step" : 0 // The tutorial is skipped
"step" : -2 // The tutorial is completed (instead of the last step's number)
In all other cases use the number of steps above 0.
Custom event
If it is necessary to count events that are absent from the main types of events, use user events. An event must have a unique name and can include up to 20 parameters. You can use up to 300 unique names.
We strongly recommend that you do not use custom event properties to transfer and store data that fits the definition of personal data!
"ce" : [ {"name":"house_purchase",// The name of an event (max. 72 symbols)"entries": [ {"t1":1231872631,// The date of an event"level":3,// Player's level"inProgress": ["village"],// Location (game level) in which an action has been performed"p": {"t1": {// up to 10 parameters grouped by data types"double": { // Parameters with values - in numbers"key1":1,// The name of a parameter as a key(max. 32 symbols) and// the value of a parameter"key2":2.123, … },"string": { // Parameters with values - in strings"key3":"a",// The name of a parameter as a key(max. 32 symbols) and// the value of a parameter (max. 255 symbols)"key4":"abc", … } } } }, { // If there are several events with the same name "t1":1231872638,"level":3,"inProgress": ["village"],"p": {"t1": {"double": {"key1":1,"key2":2.123, … },"string": {"key3":"a","key4":"abc", … } } } } }, { // If one user had several events with different names for// a reporting period, continue … }]
New level
This event is for games only.
Allows you to analyze players' distribution by game levels. The event is created when a player moves to the next level. In order to track the average state of game currency accounts, the amount of spendings and earnings of a currency, the amount of a game currency bought while completing a level, you can also send this data in this event.
"lu" : [ {"level":10,// Required. The level that a player got "timestamp":1386259227,// Required. The date of moving to the next level "inProgress": ["village"],// Location (game level)in which an action has been performed"balance": { // Optional.

Virtual Currency Payment
This event is for games only.
It is used to track the ways in which an in-game currency is spent and the popularity of in-game items.
"ip" : [ {"purchaseType":"Weapon",// The group of an item (max. 96 symbols)"purchaseId":"Dagger",// The unique name or ID of an item (max. 32 symbols)"purchaseAmount":1,// The amount of items bought"purchasePrice":1.0,// The price of an item (the overall price of a purchase if there // are several identical items are bought) in an in-game currency "purchasePriceCurrency":"Coins",// The name of an in-game currency that was used to buy// an item (max. 24 symbols)"timestamp":1231872631,// The date of a purchase"level":3,// Player's level"inProgress": ["village"] // Location (game level) in which an action has been performed }, …]
In case one item is sold in several currencies, a purchase is divided into several events, the amount of which corresponds to the number of currencies. Wherein the number of items is specified only in one event.
"ip" : [ {"purchaseType":"Weapon",// The group of an item (max. 96 symbols)"purchaseId":"Dagger",// The unique name or ID of an item (max. 32 symbols)"purchaseAmount":1,// The amount of items bought"purchasePrice":1.0,// The price of an item (the overall price of a purchase if there // are several identical items are bought) in an in-game currency "purchasePriceCurrency":"Coins",// The name of an in-game currency that was used to buy// an item (max. 24 symbols)"timestamp":1231872631,// The date of a purchase"level":3,// Player's level"inProgress": ["village"] // Location (game level) in which an action has been performed }, {"purchaseType":"Weapon","purchaseId":"Dagger","purchaseAmount":0,"purchasePrice":2.0,"purchasePriceCurrency":"Gold","timestamp":1231872631,"level":3,"inProgress": ["village"] }, …]
Progression event
This event is for games only.
First of all, the event is used for games with short locations (game levels) that are completed during one game session. The event allows to gather data about the success in location completion and receive statistics by parameters that are changeable during location completion.
"pe" : [ {"id":"location2",// The name of a location"level":3,// Player's level at the moment of location completion "params": { // Event parameters"source":"location1",// The name of the previous location of a player "difficulty":1,// Optional. The level of difficulty of location completion "success":true,// Success in location completion "duration":180// Optional. Time in seconds of location completion },"spent": { // Optional. Resources spent during location completion"money1":12,// The record of a resource in the format of // resource's name - the amount of a resource"money2":2,"wood":12 },"earned": { // Optional. Resources that are received during location completion "money1":8,"money2":2,"stone":1 },"timestamp":1234567890// The time of exit from a location }]
Ad impression
The event is used for individual tracking of ad revenue.
Do not use this event if you use ad networks that utilize the server-server protocol for sending ad revenue data (ironSource, AppLovin MAX, and Fyber networks) and you already set up this method of data collection because if you use both data sources, your revenue data may be duplicated.
Example:
"adrv": [{"ad_network":"TestAdNetwork",//Name of the ad network responsible for the impression (from 1 to 100 symbols)"revenue":0.3434,//Reward for banner display in USD"ad_unit":"TestAdUnit",//Banner name (from 1 to 100 symbols,optional)"placement":"TestPlacement"//Banner placement (from 1 to 100 symbols, optional)}]
Connection to social networks
Allows you to track existing connections to social networks.
"sc" : [ {"socialNetwork":"FB",// The name of a social network. The value from the list// of constants for popular networks or your own string name"timestamp":1386259227,// The date of connection"level":3,// Player's level"inProgress": ["village"]// Location (game level) in which an action has been performed }, ...]
Constants that are supported by the system:
Publication in social networks
Allows you to track publications in social networks. It also allows you to analyze viral channels to optimize marketing efficiency.
It is sent after a publication has been approved by a social network.
"sp" : [ {"socialNetwork":"FB",// The name of a social network. The value from the list of // constants for popular networks or your own string name"postReason":"levelup",// The reason of publication (max. 32 symbols). We recommend you// to group reasons instead of sending such names as "Level 99 reached"."timestamp":1386259227,// The date of publication "level":3,// Player's level "inProgress": ["village"]// Location (game level)in which an action has been performed }, ...]
We recommend to specify actions that encourage to make a publication as a reason:
Clearing user data
The "Wipe" function can help when you test your app and/or when you need to clear user data as a part of the gameplay.
By default, when you send an event without any parameters, a user-specified will be "forgotten". We will keep user data in the database, but you won’t be able to find them by their main identifier. Respectively, the following event batch with the same identifier will result in creating a new user. Also, in certain circumstances, you can’t just ‘forget’ some of the users. Therefore, we have provided several flags that might be helpful.
"wipe" : [ {"saveRegistration":true,// Optional. A new user will inherit registration dates after// an old user; a new user will not be registered by devtodev as// the new one. It might be useful when you test your app."savePayingStatus":true,// Optional. Old user payment data will be copied into a new// user card (number of payments, amounts and payment dates)."saveCheaterTester":true,// Optional. cheater and tester labels will be copied into// a new user card. It might be useful when you test your app."saveCustomProperties":true,// Optional. Old user custom fields and values from those fields// will be copied into the new user card."timestamp":1234567890// Optional. The time of exit from a location }]
Tracking state (GDPR)
Limiting the processing of user data. The right to erasure.
This event is implemented in accordance with the GDPR requirements.
A developer must use this event in case a user doesn’t want their data to be sent and processed in the devtodev system.
When calling "ts" event with the parameter "isTrackingAllowed": false, it is a command to the server to delete all user’s personal data that has been collected by devtodev from this app and a command to block the collection of any data of this user in future.
The user will remain listed as an impersonal unit in previously aggregated metrics.
When sending a true value, the permission to block data collection is removed.
