  description: >-
    The Data Collection APIs provide endpoints for sending data directly to the
    Adobe Experience Platform Edge Network. The Edge Network API supports both
    authenticated and non-authenticated data ingestion, while the Media Edge
    API enables media tracking data transmission. These APIs allow real-time
    data collection from web, mobile, and IoT devices.
