Automating Data Import into Adobe Analytics via Data Sources API (Column Mapping & Permissions)
Hello Team,
We are in the process of automating data imports into Adobe Analytics from Google BigQuery, and have identified the Data Sources API as the best method for this integration.
However, we’ve encountered a few questions during implementation:
When creating a Data Source via the Adobe Analytics UI, we’re limited to a smaller set of columns compared to what we need for our use case (we have more than 4 variable and 4 metrics).
Is there a way to create or customize a Data Source schema (with additional columns or custom eVars/props/events) directly via the API?
If so, could you please share the relevant API documentation or sample request structure?
Regarding authentication and permissions, does the credential (API integration or Adobe I/O project) used to access the Data Sources API require any specific permissions or product profile privileges (e.g., Admin rights or specific role access in Adobe Analytics)?
We’d appreciate your guidance on the correct approach or any documentation/examples that detail how to programmatically create and manage Data Sources with custom columns through the API.
