Segment API

Jitsu has a Segment API compatibility endpoint for sending events directly from apps or backends using Segment client libraries. You can install and configure Segment library to send data to Jitsu. Just set Jitsu endpoint and API key server secret (as a write key) in Segment library instance initialization. Income events are mapped on JS SDK 2.0 structure automatically.

If you are using deprecated events API (events structure with eventn_ctx prefix) please use /api/v1/segment/compat endpoint.

Node.js example

import Analytics from 'analytics-node';

//if you are using JS SDK 2.0 events structure
let analytics = new Analytics(`Jitsu API key server secret`, {
  host: `https://Jitsu_host/api/v1/segment`
})

//or if you are using deprecated events structure
//let analytics = new Analytics(`Jitsu API key server secret`, {
//  host: `https://Jitsu_host/api/v1/segment/compat`
//})

analytics.track({...});
analytics.identify({
  anonymousId: 'anonym1',
  traits: {
    email: 'newuser@gmail.com'
  }
});

Go example

package main

import (
	"gopkg.in/segmentio/analytics-go.v3"
	"log"
	"time"
)

func main() {
	//if you are using JS SDK 2.0 events structure
	client, _ := analytics.NewWithConfig("Jitsu API key server secret", analytics.Config{Endpoint: "https://Jitsu_host/api/v1/segment"})

	//or if you are using deprecated events structure
	//client, _ := analytics.NewWithConfig("Jitsu API key server secret", analytics.Config{Endpoint: "https://Jitsu_host/api/v1/segment/compat"})

	//sending event
	analyticsTraits := analytics.NewTraits().
		SetFirstName("Ned").
		SetLastName("Stark").
		Set("role", "the Lord of Winterfell").
		SetEmail("ned@starkinc.com")
	analyticsContext := &analytics.Context{
		App: analytics.AppInfo{
			Name:      "my_app",
			Version:   "1.0",
		},
		Device: analytics.DeviceInfo{
			Manufacturer:  "Apple",
			Model:         "iPhone",
			Type:          "mobile",

			Country:   "US",
			Latitude:  1.0,
			Longitude: 2.0,
			Region:    "CA",
			Speed:     100,
		},
		IP:        net.IPv4(1, 1, 1, 1),
		Traits:    analyticsTraits,
	}

	err := client.Enqueue(analytics.Track{
		MessageId:    "track1",
		AnonymousId:  "anonym1",
		Event:        "test_track",
		Timestamp:    time.Now(),
		Context:      analyticsContext,
	})

	if err != nil {
