Parameter	Description
`userToken`	type: string pattern: `[A-Za-z0-9_=+/-]{1,129}` Required Anonymous user identifier. See also: User Token
`authenticatedUserToken`	type: string pattern: `[A-Za-z0-9_=+/-]{1,129}` Optional Pseudonymous identifier for authenticated users. Never include personally identifiable information in user tokens. See also: User Token
`eventName`	type: string pattern: `[\x20-\x7E]{1,64}` Required Name of the specific event. Format: 1-64 ASCII characters, except control characters. To maximize the impact of your events, use consistent event names and consistent formatting—for example, “Product Added To Cart” (always in title case). For example, you can adopt Segment’s object-action framework.
`indexName`	type: string Required Name of the Algolia index. Format: same as the index name used by the search engine. Some API clients use `index` instead of `indexName`.
`objectIDs`	type: array items: string Required List of object identifiers for items of an Algolia index. You can include up to 20 `objectID`.
`objectData`	type: array items: ObjectData Optional Extra information about the records involved in the event—for example, to add price and quantities of purchased products. If provided, must be the same length as `objectIDs`.
`value`	type: number \| string Optional The monetary value of the event, measured in `currency`. For example, the total value of a purchase.
`currency`	type: string Optional If you include pricing information in the `objectData` parameter or provide `value`, you must also specify the currency as ISO-4217 currency code, such as USD or EUR.

ObjectData

Parameter	Description
`price`	type: number \| string Optional The price of the item. This should be the final price, inclusive of any discounts in effect.
