It is not an embeddable UI component library; it is a browser-side EVENT API, and it is the front half of the attribution product (the Orders/Spend REST APIs are the back half). It is documented here as a component because it is client-side, script-tag distributed and versionless, which are the properties that make it behave unlike an SDK. families: - name: Northbeam Pixel kind: browser event tracker loader: distribution: cdn url_template: https://j.northbeam.io/ota-sp/{DATA_CLIENT_ID}.js install: inline
