# Explore Events Ingest

`POST /explore/events`

Batched client-event beacon (EXPLORE_INSTRUMENTATION_SPEC.md §3.2).

Never 4xxes on bad rows — unknown event types are dropped and counted,
because a beacon client must not retry-loop. Regular (non-admin) auth:
any authed user may write telemetry attributed to themselves; rows with
no matching insertion are inert.
