  Guides developers through implementing event and conversion ingestion to
  Google products using the Data Manager API /v1/events/ingest endpoint
  and its associated client libraries. Use this skill when the user wants to upload
  offline conversions, enhanced conversions for leads, click conversions, Google
  Analytics web or app events, or any other event ingestion use case supported by
  the Data Manager API. Don't use for uploading audience members (use the
  data-manager-api-audience-ingestion skill).

# Data Manager API Event Ingestion

## Implementation Workflow

### Prerequisites

-   **Authentication & Library Installation**: If you need to set up access to
    the Data Manager API or install the client and utility libraries, refer to
    the `data-manager-api-setup` skill.

### Step 1: Identify Use Case & Read Documentation

-   **Determine Destination Account Type**: [CRITICAL] If it's not
    explicitly stated, STOP and CLARIFY with the user where the data is being
    sent (e.g., Google Ads, Floodlight, Google Analytics)
    BEFORE generating any code. Do not assume Google Ads by default. This maps
    to the `account_type` field of the `operating_account` in the `Destination`,
    and also determines valid event identifiers and requirements.
-   **Read Documentation**: [CRITICAL] Follow the
    [Send events guide](https://developers.google.com/data-manager/api/devguides/events/send-events.md.txt)
    to implement the integration, as steps for configuring and sending the
    request may vary between destinations.

### Step 2: Retrieve Code Sample

> [!IMPORTANT]
> If writing or updating an ingestion script, ALWAYS retrieve the
> relevant code sample to use as a reference:

| Language | Sample |
| :--- | :--- |
| **Python** | [`ingest_events.py`](https://github.com/googleads/data-manager-python/blob/main/samples/events/ingest_events.py) |
| **Java** | [`IngestEvents.java`](https://github.com/googleads/data-manager-java/blob/main/data-manager-samples/src/main/java/com/google/ads/datamanager/samples/IngestEvents.java) |
| **PHP** | [`ingest_events.php`](https://github.com/googleads/data-manager-php/blob/main/samples/events/ingest_events.php) |
| **Node** | [`ingest_events.ts`](https://github.com/googleads/data-manager-node/blob/main/samples/events/ingest_events.ts) |
| **.NET**| [`IngestEvents.cs`](https://github.com/googleads/data-manager-dotnet/blob/main/samples/IngestEvents.cs) |

### Step 3: Retrieve Migration Guides

> [!IMPORTANT]
> If refactoring code to upgrade from another Google API, ALWAYS
> extract the full contents of the relevant field mapping guide.

#### Google Ads

*   **Google Ads API Offline Conversions**:

#### Google Analytics

*   **Measurement Protocol (Google Analytics)**:

### Step 4: Implementation

Implement the ingestion logic using the following checkpoints:

-   [ ] **Initialize Client**: Instantiate the Data Manager client
    (`IngestionServiceClient`).
-   [ ] **Define Destinations**: Build the `Destination` object using the
    `product_dest
