About this method

Send a click event to capture clicked items.

Use this event to track when users click items unrelated to a previous Algolia request. For example, if you don’t use Algolia to build your category pages, use clickedObjectIDs.

Sending this event is useful for:

Parameters

Parameter	Description
`userToken`	type: string pattern: `[A-Za-z0-9_=+/-]{1,129}` Required Anonymous user identifier. See also: User Token
`authenticatedUserToken`	type: string pattern: `[A-Za-z0-9_=+/-]{1,129}` Optional Pseudonymous identifier for authenticated users. Never include personally identifiable information in user tokens. See also: User Token
`eventName`	type: string pattern: `[\x20-\x7E]{1,64}` Required Name of the specific event. Format: 1-64 ASCII characters, except control characters. To maximize the impact of your events, use consistent event names and consistent formatting—for example, “Product Added To Cart” (always in title case). For example, you can adopt Segment’s object-action framework.
`indexName`	type: string Required Name of the Algolia index. Format: same as the index name used by the search engine. Some API clients use `index` instead of `indexName`.
`objectIDs`	type: array items: string Required List of object identifiers for items of an Algolia index. You can include up to 20 `objectID`.
