# Record Playtime Session

> Records a single playtime session.

**Auto attribution:**
- If `campaignId` is not specified, automatically attributed to the project's active campaign sponsor

**Idempotency:**
- The unique key is `projectId` + `sessionId`
- A duplicate `sessionId` is NOT an error: the existing row is kept and the response returns `recorded: false`

    PlayCamp SDK API - Game analytics and creator campaign integration API


    ## Required Integration APIs (Server API)

    3 APIs that must be integrated for campaign operation:

    - `POST /v1/server/sponsors` - User boosts a creator

    - `POST /v1/server/coupons/validate` - Validate coupon code

    - `POST /v1/server/payments` - Register in-game payment


    ## Authentication

    - **Client API**: `Authorization: Bearer {CLIENT_KEY_ID}:{CLIENT_SECRET}`

    - **Server API**: `Authorization: Bearer {SERVER_KEY_ID}:{SERVER_SECRET}`


    ## Servers

    - **Live**: https://sdk-api.playcamp.io (Production data)

    - **Sandbox**: https://sandbox-sdk-api.playcamp.io (Test data)


    ## Key Types

    - **Client Key**: For game client (read-only - campaign, creator queries)

    - **Server Key**: For game server (read/write - coupon redemption, payment
    registration, etc.)


    ## Test Mode (isTest)

    Before campaign launch, use `isTest: true` parameter to test API
    integration.

    - Request parameter validation is performed identically to production

    - Returns mock data without recording to actual DB

    - Verify integration in Sandbox environment before campaign launch, then
    remove `isTest` parameter for actual campaign
