API Analytics collects data in a new format called ALF (API Log Format). There are three supported data collection APIs which the official clients are built on top of.

API Log Format

Official Clients

Data Collection APIs

• Socket.io
  • Socket.io is the simplest, but isn't available on every platform and language.
• ZeroMQ
  • ZMQ is the fastest and is available for virtually every language, but it requires an external library.
• HTTP
  • HTTP is the slowest and is only there for compatibility when the other options aren't suitable.
