Installation

API

IS.bucket(id, accessKey)

Create an event data bucket.

• id – A bucket key. This key cannot contain the colon (:) character.
• accessKey – An Initial State account access key. This argument is not needed if the access key is assigned to the environmental variable IS_API_ACCESS_KEY.

bucket.push(key, value[, date])

Send event data to Initial State.

• key – The event key.
• value – The event value.
• date – The time of the event. A Date object or numeric timestamp (milliseconds since epoch). High-precision timestamps (i.e., sub-ms) can be declared as a string (e.g., '1420070400.000000001'), but must be in unix time (seconds since epoch). If not defined, a high-precision timestamp will be generated.
