In the summary, we described how Rockerbox thinks about the attributes of an integration. In this section, we dive into the the specific data types and provide examples of each.

​
Live Data Collection

Live data collection is the process of collecting data in real-time. This is often done through a pixel or a server-side integration. Rockerbox has three forms of live data collection:
  • JavaScript tracking pixels (for onsite data collection)
  • Server-side Webhooks (for server-to-server data collection and mobile SDKs)
  • Third-party image tags (for ad impression data collection where support is available)

​
Batch Data Collection

Batch data collection is the process of collecting data in a periodic manner. This is often done through an API pull or a file upload. Rockerbox has three forms of batch data collection:
  • API pulls on set schedules
  • File uploads (manual or automated)
  • Data warehouse connections
