DCS API Methods

Send data to the DCS API using GET or POST methods.

You can send data to the DCS using either one of the GET or POST methods. Take a look at the sample calls below, using curl. In all three sample calls, we are adding the signals c_likes = famous popstar and c_loves = famous actress to the device profile 12345678901234567890123456789012345678.

Send Data via GET

Note that the maximum allowed size for GET calls is 8K.

curl -i "yourcompany.demdex.net/event?d_uuid=12345678901234567890123456789012345678&d_rtbd=json&c_likes=famous%20popstar&c_loves=famous%20actress"

Send Data via POST

Note the requirements for sending data using the POST method:

  • The maximum allowed size is 32K.
