What is Tealium EventStream?

Tealium EventStream API Hub is lightweight data collection and delivery platform. An API hub takes advantage of server-side vendor integrations, allowing you to reduce the size of your mobile apps, minimize client-side network requests, and deploy new vendors without the need for code releases. Tealium EventStream helps you manage incoming data, define event requirements, inspect data quality, and orchestrate out-going data.

Tealium EventStream is organized into the following areas:

• Data Sources - Data sources represent websites or apps that send data to EventStream. Before you install a Tealium Collect library, you will create a data source to get the installation instructions specific to the chosen platform.

• Live Events and Event Feeds - Watch incoming data and inspect event details to validate data quality. Manage event feeds to identify the important types of events to use throughout the API hub.

• Event Specs - Define the exact types of events to track and the attributes that are required for them. This helps you create a standardized data layer and to validate the quality of incoming data.

• Attributes - Manage event attributes and enrichments, the building blocks of your configuration.

• Connectors - Manage the vendor integrations at the core of the EventStream API hub. These server-side triggers will send data from your event feeds to your vendors using the data mappings and configurations you set up.
