The DynaMed/DynaMedex API POST /user/article-views endpoint stores one or more sets of viewing information for the user. These sets of viewing information can later be used by the caller to show recent activity for that user. Before you can execute a store article views call, you must have an ID token for the request header. The user ID and product family will be obtained from the token.
