HTTP API $identify

POST https://api2.amplitude.com/2/httpapi

Use event_type = $identify to send user properties as an event. $identify is a function within the HTTP that essentially functions like the Identify API. Using $identify saves you requests, because you don't have to make separate requests to the Identify API to update user properties before sending event data.
