Hello @JeanBaro2 ,
As you know, in AEP, most functionalities can be managed via APIs, allowing for the creation, modification, and management of various objects like schemas, datasets, identities, segments, profiles, and more. This functionality is still valid.
You can think of this approach as creating or updating objects via API. If I understand correctly, you want to use the API to fetch metadata for these objects, such as a schema JSON, and integrate your backup storage application to store it. You need to explore the API for each object to understand how to read or update it effectively.
If you want to upload it to another sandbox, for example, by reading a schema from one sandbox and deploying it to another via API, it is entirely possible. However, you must ensure all the parameters are correct when reading or updating through the API requests. This process can become quite complex in AEP for deployment.
For deploying schemas, datasets, segments, etc. from one sandbox to another, I recommend using the out-of-the-box functionality, as it is considered best practice. If you encounter any issues, the Adobe support team will be able to assist you.
If your objective is simply to back up existing schemas, datasets, segments, or other metadata, you can use APIs to read this information automatically at specified times or schedule it using your custom third-party solution and store it in your Git repository as a backup.
Hope this helps.
Kind regards,
Parvesh
