Analytics Same API

Unity Services
1

I’m use unity2018.2.20
What is the diff of this APIs:
Analytics.CustomEvent
AnalyticsEvent.Custom
AnalyticsEvent.CustomEvent

and the other problem:
AnalyticsEvent.IAPTransaction(“???”, price, packageId);
what is the “transactionContext” ?

They are basically equivalent events. The IAPTransaction is documented here Unity - Scripting API: Analytics.AnalyticsEvent.IAPTransaction , you enter the string that you need. If you are not using IAP, then you don’t need this event

To piggy back on the question.

There are 2 events.
Analytics.Transaction(…)
and
AnalyticsEvent.IAPTransaction(…)

  1. Do I need to use either if I’m using Unity IAP?
  2. If not - I assume Analytics.Transaction is automatic (because of using Unity IAP), so I need to add AnalyticsEvent.IAPTransaction?
  3. What ‘price’ do I use then? localized? What currency is being used in the IAPTransaction call?

I am setting up monetization 3.2 and would like to give ‘the learning machine’ as much as useful information as possible. So would love to know wether I should send this - and how?

Kind regards

What are you trying to accomplish? You don’t need to call any additional method to track your IAP purchases.

Thank you for your response.

What am I trying to accomplish: implement as many possible events, so monetization’s machine learning has as many parameters possible. Per this document [Frequently asked questions]

I have implemented Unity IAP.

If I understand you correctly: I should not call neither Analytics.Transaction() nor AnalyticsEvent.IAPTransaction(), and machine learning won’t be affected.

Correct?

That is correct!

Right on!
Still curious, does machine learning get the information from Unity IAP?
Any details you could share?

I’m just eager to get the Monetization SDK everything I possibly can.

Thank you!

I am trying to implement unity analytics into my game. What is difference between AnalyticsEvent.IAPTransaction and Analytics.Transaction?

FYI these events are not used in any optimization at our end, and may result in duplicate reporting of revenue.
