Session Resource (deprecated as of 8.5.0)

Important

The Session resource is deprecated as of Web Engagement 8.5.0.
Use the Visit and Identity resources to obtain session-related information.

Description

The session resource contains the session information relative to a visitor's visit after a SignIn event was received. The session resource is created when the visitor authenticates on the website. Then, all the events and pages involved in the visitor's browsing activity are associated with the session until the session ends (the user signs out). For further information about events, see Event Resource.
