Custom Server authentication flow for analytics
Hi all,
Just getting started with PlayFab - so far looks amazing.
We currently have a nodejs server that we want to track custom events for analytics purposes. We are trying to use https://api.playfab.com/documentation/Client/method/WriteTitleEvent
However, it requires user_session_ticket_value for X-Authentication header.
How can we obtain that? I guess the proper way should be to use the secret key but we couldn't make it work with X-SecretKey either.
So what would be the workflow for authenticating server with secret key and making request for WriteTitleEvent?
Thanks :)
Hello,
Would you be able to provide more details such as the code you are using? WriteTitleEvent API call doesn't require a user_session_ticket. If you use WriteTitleEvent from the Server API you will need to include your developer secret key in PlayFabSettings (if using Unity or Unreal).

I was missing
.set({"Accept-Encoding" : "gzip,sdch"})
That solved the problem.
However, now I can see my data on the PlayStream monitor but nothing is visualized in the Events History.
Any ideas?
Is your Event History still empty? There have been some recent changes to Events History and it may have affected your views.
