Is it possible to update multiple segments in bulk using segment API

Question

Hi is there a way to update segments in bulk using segment API, apparently the update segment API has a required id parameter but it only support single id at a time.

Hello,

Currently, the Segment API requires the segment ID parameter for updates and only supports updating one segment at a time. Unfortunately, there is no direct way to update multiple segments in bulk using a single API call.

However, you can automate the process of updating segments in bulk by scripting the API calls. Here’s a general approach you can follow:

Retrieve Segment IDs: Use the API to fetch the list of segment IDs you want to update.
Loop Through IDs: Write a script (in Python, for example) to loop through each segment ID and make individual API calls to update the segments.

Here’s a simple example in Python:

import requests # Define your API endpoint and headers api_endpoint = 'https://api.segment.yourservice.com/v1/segments/' headers = { 'Authorization': 'Bearer YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN', 'Content-Type': 'application/json' } # List of segment IDs to update segment_ids = ['segment_id_1', 'segment_id_2', 'segment_id_3'] # Data to update for each segment update_data = { 'key1': 'value1', 'key2': 'value2' } # Function to update a single segment def update_segment(segment_id, data😞 response = requests.put(api_endpoint + segment_id, headers=headers, json=data) return response.json() # Loop through segment IDs and update them for segment_id in segment_ids: result = update_segment(segment_id, update_data) print(f'Segment {segment_id} update result: {result}')

This script fetches segment IDs and updates each segment individually by looping through the list of IDs and making PUT requests to the API. While it's not a single bulk operation, this method achieves the same result efficiently Sobha Crystal Meadows Price
