<p>The APM Server exposes an API Endpoint to send <a class="xref" href="transactions.html" title="Transactions">transaction records</a>.
Unless you are implementing an agent, you don’t need to know about the specifics of this API.</p>
<p>The following section contains information about:</p>

<p>To send a transaction record you need to send a <code class="literal">HTTP POST</code> request to the APM Server <code class="literal">transactions</code> endpoint:</p>
<div class="pre_wrapper lang-bash">
<div class="console_code_copy" title="Copy to clipboard"></div>
<pre class="programlisting prettyprint lang-bash">http(s)://{hostname}:{port}/v1/transactions</pre>

<p>To send a record for a frontend transaction (see <a class="xref" href="frontend.html" title="Frontend support">experimental frontend support</a>),
you need to send a <code class="literal">HTTP POST</code> request to the APM Server <code class="literal">frontend transactions</code> endpoint:</p>

<div class="console_code_copy" title="Copy to clipboard"></div>
<pre class="programlisting prettyprint lang-bash">http(s)://{hostname}:{port}/v1/client-side/transactions</pre>

<p>Information pertaining to the record must be sent as a JSON object.</p>
