DMP Trait via API

Hey Guys,

It's Raza from Bank of Montreal Canada, I am a part of Personalization team here. We are working on something and we need some help. Do anybody have idea about creating a DMP Trait using API. What are prerequisites and other things ?

As of current scenario I have created a tool to generate DMP ruleset and then we copy that ruleset and manually apply that to Adobe Audience Manager(AAM). And In a future iteration of this tool, i'd like to use the AAM APIs within tool to automatically create that rule in AAM once someone clicks the "generate button".  But first we need to investigate how to use the API

$base64_code = base64_encode($client_id.":".$client_secret);

$ch = curl_init();

$request_headers = array();

$request_headers[] = 'Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded';

$request_headers[] = 'Accept: application/json';

$request_headers[] = 'Authorization: Basic '.$base64_code;

$data_to_post = "grant_type=password&username=$username&password=$password";

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "https://api.demdex.com/oauth/token");

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,true);

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $request_headers);

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $data_to_post);

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);

$result = curl_exec($ch);

$res = json_decode($result,true);

$access_token = $res['access_token'];

Hi Raza,

This query seems to be more related to Adobe Audience Manager . Hence moving the query to Audience Manager Community.

Hi Raza,

Here's the link to documentation for Audience Manager's REST APIs​.

Trait API Methods​ have been rewritten with Swagger.

Hope this helps.

Hey, Thank you so much Dev I already checked these links and they are really helpful. I am working on a javascript to create DMP trait in AAM and below is so far what I have created, can you please have look and suggest.

var Data = '[{ "pid": 0, "name": "TestData", "description": "TestData", "integrationCode": "TestData", "comments": "TestData", "traitType": "TestData", "status": "TestData", "dataSourceId": 0, "folderId": 0, "traitRule": "TestData", "type": 0, "categoryId": 0, "crUID": 0, "upUID": 0, "createTime": 0, "updateTime": 0 }]';

    var xhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();

    xhttp.open("POST", "https://api.demdex.com/v1/traits/", false);

    xhttp.setRequestHeader("Content-type", "application/json");

    xhttp.send(Data);

    var response = JSON.parse(xhttp.responseText);

console.log(xhttp.status);
console.log(xhttp.statusText);
console.log(response);

Hey Raza,

Your code seems to be fine while using the AAM traits API. Were you able to solve your use case?

Best,

Hi Gaurang,

I am facing authorization issue while using this code, do you have any idea how to setup authorization as given in this link ? I have Client ID and Client secret

Hi Raza,

You will need to generate an access_token to make API requests. You will need to make an API request to request the access_token.

I am pasting the screenshots below from my demo setup to show how the call should look like:

Header Configuration:

Body Configuration:

The most important part that people tend to miss out on is encoding the Client ID & Secret to Base64 string.

Hey,

I have done just like this, still receiving the unauthorized error . Please check the code below (Note : I am running this code from a local HTML file, I have not published anything yet on the http):

$.get( {

    url: 'https://api-beta.demdex.com/oauth/token',

    type: 'POST',

    dataType : "jsonp",

    data: { content: 'grant_type=password&username=<My AudienceManager user name>&password=<My AudienceManager password>' },

    beforeSend : function( xhr ) {

        xhr.setRequestHeader( "Authorization", "Basic <base-64 clientID:clientSecret>" );

        xhr.setRequestHeader( "Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded" );

    },

    success: function( response ) {

  //response

    }

} );
