Getting started with the Segmentation Service API getting-started

Adobe Experience Platform Segmentation Service allows you to create audiences through segment definitions or other sources in Adobe Experience Platform from your Real-Time Customer Profile data.

The developer guide requires a working understanding of the various Experience Platform services involved with using Segmentation Service.

The following sections provide additional information that you will need to know in order to successfully work with the Segmentation API.

Reading sample API calls

The Segmentation Service API documentation provides example API calls to demonstrate how to format your requests. These include paths, required headers, and properly formatted request payloads. Sample JSON returned in API responses is also provided. For information on the conventions used in documentation for sample API calls, see the section on how to read example API calls in the Experience Platform troubleshooting guide.

Required headers

The API documentation also requires you to have completed the authentication tutorial in order to successfully make calls to Platform endpoints. Completing the authentication tutorial provides the values for each of the required headers in Experience Platform API calls, as shown below:

  • Authorization: Bearer {ACCESS_TOKEN}
  • x-api-key: {API_KEY}
  • x-gw-ims-org-id: {ORG_ID}

All resources in Experience Platform are isolated to specific virtual sandboxes. All requests to Platform APIs require a header that specifies the name of the sandbox in which the operation will take place:

  • x-sandbox-name: {SANDBOX_NAME}
NOTE
For more information on working with sandboxes in Experience Platform, see the sandboxes overview documentation.
