Event migration to new API

Question

We have an event that is not linked to profiles, but rather is transactional, can be sent to any email, even if it is not a profile in the system. Our current event code is as follows:

$event = '{
    "token" : "blabla",
    "event" : "Send VPA Customer Review",
    "customer_properties" : {
        "$email" : "'.$send->email.'",
        "$first_name" : "'.$send->first_name.'",
        "$last_name" : "'.$send->last_name.'"
    },
    "properties" : {
        "reviewUrl" : "'.URL::to('/').'/savereview/'.urlencode(Crypt::encryptString($send->uuid)).'",
        "first_name" : "'.$send->first_name.'",
        "last_name" : "'.$send->last_name.'",
         "products": '.$out_json.'
     },
     "time" : '.time().'
}';
file_get_contents('https://a.klaviyo.com/api/track?data=' . urlencode(base64_encode($event)));

I need to know how to convert this to the new events API found at https://developers.klaviyo.com/en/reference/create_event

For interest sake here is the JSON we needed:

{
  "data": {
    "type": "event",
    "attributes": {
      "properties": {
        "reviewURL": "https://www.google.com",
        "first_name" : "Jerry",
        "last_name" : "Palmer",
        "products": [

{
"id":"12345678"
"title":"Breakfast Shake"
"image":"https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/234/29/1/files/breakfast-shake-vpa-australia.jpg?v=1712042642"
}

]
      },
      "metric": {
        "data": {
          "type": "metric",
          "attributes": {
            "name": "Send VPA Customer Review"
          }
        }
      },
      "profile": {
        "data": {
          "type": "profile",
          "attributes": {
               "email": "jgp@gmail.com",
               "first_name": "Jerry",
               "last_name" : "Palmer"
            }
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
