Documented steps
Create a Server Secret Key or Client SDK Key in Statsig Console > Project Settings > API Keys.
Target host https://events.statsigapi.net (a different host from gate/config evaluation), path /v1/log_event, method POST.
Set header Content-Type: application/json and header statsig-api-key: <YOUR_KEY>; optionally set STATSIG-CLIENT-TIME: <epoch-ms> to help Statsig correct for client clock drift.
events must be a non-empty array (minimum length 1); each event object requires eventName.
Keep string fields at or under 64 characters and object/metadata fields at or under 4096 stringified characters - these are the documented event field-length limits.
Use the same userID/customIDs in log_event calls that you use in check_gate/get_config calls so Statsig can attribute the custom event to gate and experiment exposures.
Send the request and expect HTTP 202 Accepted (events accepted for processing) on success.

Known gotchas
log_event lives on events.statsigapi.net, a different host than gate/config evaluation (api.statsig.com) - POSTing log_event to the wrong host will fail.
String fields are capped at 64 characters and object fields at 4096 stringified characters; oversized payloads risk truncation.
time must be epoch milliseconds, not seconds.
Success is 202 Accepted, not 200 - clients that assert on a 200 status will incorrectly treat successful writes as failures.
There is no built-in SDK batching or retry queue for raw HTTP - you must implement your own batching, retry, and backoff around this endpoint.
The docs do not publish an explicit numeric batch-size or requests-per-second cap for this endpoint; don't assume an undocumented limit exists in your favor.
