Hi Community,

If there is any API extension package available for the Adobe Client Data Layer (ACDL). If anyone has information or recommendations, I’d greatly appreciate your insights.

Thanks

@jennifer_dungan am trying to create a extension in Data Collection using API method. So that I required to request a Package Id, delegate_descriptor_id to add Adobe Client Data Layer extension.

Thanks, I have found the those id's for ACDL.

Can you be more specific about what type of API you are looking for? I really don't understand how the Data Layer would interact with an API... the data layer is part of your website to make it easier for Launch to get tracking values into Data Elements, and subsequently into your tracking calls.... APIs are generally for retrieving Analytics Data (or potentially inserting data after the fact)...

Unless you are trying to use API data insertion as your method of tracking?

But that seems like an overly complex implementation method?

As @jennifer_dungan @says, the ACDL is just an array with additional functionality that can react to data being pushed. As such it does not send anything to any endpoint, neither analytics nor marketing pixels.

So, in Adobe Launch terms, you are working with rule events and data elements, but not rule actions.

OK, I see, you are trying to use the Extension API to update and add extensions to your properties.. and you were specifically looking for information about the ACDL extension in the context of the Extension endpoint...

In general, since you have found the Extension API, you can use the API to retrieve a list of all the extensions on a property (which should come back with all relevant information).. this way you can be sure of the values.

Glad you found what you are looking for.
