Methods for sending data
Explore the various methods for sending data to Axiom, from direct API calls and OpenTelemetry to platform integrations and logging libraries.
The easiest way to send your first event data to Axiom is with a direct HTTP request using a tool like cURL.
curl -X 'POST' 'https://AXIOM_DOMAIN/v1/ingest/DATASET_NAME' \
-H 'Authorization: Bearer API_TOKEN' \
-H 'Content-Type: application/x-ndjson' \
-d '{ "http": { "request": { "method": "GET", "duration_ms": 231 }, "response": { "body": { "size": 3012 } } }, "url": { "path": "/download" } }'To send events continuously, Axiom supports a wide range of standard tools, libraries, and platform integrations.
