What Is Segment Sending on My Behalf?

instructions.md

If you have node installed, you can clone the repo for whichever integration you'd like to use (say GA) then install segmentio-facade:

git clone https://github.com/segmentio/integration-google-analytics.git
cd integration-google-analytics
npm install segmentio-facade

Then create a new file in the top level of the directory with the script from this gist.

curl https://gist.githubusercontent.com/sperand-io/32cff1a9003d117c6fae/raw/a5932c51b68258475a0823db46b483cc7bbf1166/runner.js > runner.js

Follow the instructions in that script's comments to supply the call and settings from your project you'd like to simulate.

Finally, set your DEBUG env var and run that script.

DEBUG=* node runner

Boom, you'll get output showing the mapped request body and the endpoint(s) we're sending to.

runner.js
