First Party ID (FPID) usage with Edge Network API

[anna368]

Hello, 

our customer is thinking about a server-side data collection with Adobe Edge Network via Edge Network API. Regarding user identification we would like to go with the First Party ID. Regarding the documentation, the usage is currently only supported with Adobe WebSDK. Does anyone have an idea how to use first party IDs with Edge Network API? 

Thanks!

@anna368 Please wait for additional feedback but as far as I know:

[...] First-party device ID support is only available when sending data to the Experience Platform Edge Network via the Web SDK.

Thanks @Tof_Jossic, that's what I found as well. Just wanted to make sure I didn't miss anything. I guess you're not aware if Adobe is working on FPID support for Mobile SDK or Edge Network API?

@anna368 I'm asking internally

Should you not be able to send the FPID as part of the identityMap?

I mean it's one thing that the datastream can pick up the FPID cookie data, but I would assume that you can explicitly pass the information server-to-server as well.

have a look at this blog, maybe it's getting clearer there. FPID is mentioned there as well

@bjoern__koth, thank you very much. This actually helps a lot. We'll try passing it within the Identity Map.
