Hi everyone,

Can someone explain me about "inletID" please.

I'm trying to update profiles automatically and then facing this issue about this "inletID".

And the problem is that I don't know where to get this value to keep moving ahead on this process.

I did ask ChatGPT and Gemini about this and they told me that it is the DatastreamID but i have tried and still failed. I have investigated that DatastreamID is deprecated and it has changed to another different one that I don't know.

If someone knows about this so please help me to find out the answer 'bout this.

Thanks alot.

inletId = the ID of a Streaming Ingestion endpoint (the bit after /collection/ in the URL you POST to), not a datastreamId, not a datasetId, not a schemaId.
It comes from AEP Streaming Ingestion / HTTP API Source / AJO event configuration, and is owned by Data Collection / Streaming Ingest, not by AJO itself.

How to obtain it?

From AEP Sources → HTTP API connector (generic Streaming to a dataset)

If you (or your admin) created a Streaming HTTP API Source:

Go to experience.adobe.com → Experience Platform.
Select the correct IMS org and sandbox.
Go to Sources → choose HTTP API → click View accounts.
Open the Source account you care about.
On the account “Activity” or details page you’ll see a Streaming endpoint URL like:
```
https://dcs.adobedc.net/collection/86f82f99...b65bc
```
The inletId is the long hex string after /collection/:
```
inletId = 86f82f499...b65bc
```
