Is the Events API a replacement for the REST Implementation API?

[stability0295]

Hello!

I am wondering if this REST implementation API can be replaced by the Events API.

Or are they completely different things?

Nowadays I use the REST Implementation API for a server-side integration. But given that it’s only possible to generate API V3 tokens, I am wondering if this Events API is replacing the REST Implementation API (which uses a V2 token that is shared with the JS Tracker).

REST Implementation API

• https://developers.brevo.com/reference/identifyuser-1
  It has 4 methods: Identify the user; Track event; Track link clicks; Track page views

Events API

• https://developers.brevo.com/docs/event-endpoints
  It has only one method: Create Event

Thanks!

Hi @stability0295 ,

Thanks for posting on this community.
You can totally use the Events API to send events to Brevo, absolutely.

This way, you can:

• create any custom events, with any names
• use these events as triggers
• or use them to segment your contacts

Did I get your question well?

Hi @ahudavert. Thanks for replying.

Can I totally replace the REST Implementation API with the Events API? Meaning that if I use the REST Implementation API (and all of its 4 methods) in production, will uptading everything to the Events API produce any side effects?

Hi @stability0295 , I haven’t tested it, so I can’t say for sure, but I’d say yes.
