In this exercise we will use a streaming connection to ingest XDM-formatted JSON records in real-time to the Adobe Experience Platform. 

We will use Postman to send these events to the Streaming endpoint. 

In our example, we will send a product purchase event to the dataset `Demo System - Event Dataset for POS (Global v1.1)`

1. Open Postman and expand the Collection.
2. Select the POST request `Sending Events via Streaming API (Booking)`
3. Click on **Body **to see the JSON payload we are sending.

You will see that the **payload** is in the XDM format as defined by the Schema. We've included:

- The **product list items** array to give context to which product has been viewed.
- The **timestamp** which specifies when the product view event occured.
- The **event type** which is recognised as the product view event in AEP.
- The **\_id** which is the unique ID of the event.
- The Schema and Dataset IDs for where we want to send the data.

The full payload:

1. Click **Send** to execute this request and send the event to the Experience Platform.
2. You will see a **response** with status `200 OK` if the event has been received successfully.

You can now check the **Dataset Activity** UI to see if your event has been ingested successfully. 

1. Navigate to **Datasets **from the main left hand navigation.
2. Click the dataset `Demo System - Event Dataset for POS (Global v1.1)`.
3. Look in the recent batches for successfully ingested records.
4. Select **Preview Dataset** to see what data has been ingested, look for your product view event.
