IMPORTANT
Mixins have been renamed to schema field groups, and therefore the /mixins endpoint has been deprecated in favor of the /fieldgroups endpoint.
While /mixins will continue to be maintained as a legacy endpoint, it is strongly recommended that you use /fieldgroups for new implementations of the Schema Registry API in your experience applications. See the field groups endpoint guide for more information.

Mixins are reuseable components which define one or more fields that represent a particular concept, such as an individual person, a mailing address, or a web browser environment. Mixins are intended to be included as part of a schema that implements a compatible class, depending on the behavior of data they represent (record or time series). The /mixins endpoint in the Schema Registry API allows you to programmatically manage mixins within your experience application.

Getting started

The endpoint used in this guide is part of the Schema Registry API. Before continuing, please review the getting started guide for links to related documentation, a guide to reading the sample API calls in this document, and important information regarding required headers that are needed to successfully make calls to any Experience Platform API.

Retrieve a list of mixins list

You can list all mixins under the global or tenant container by making a GET request to /global/mixins or /tenant/mixins, respectively.

NOTE
When listing resources, the Schema Registry limits result sets to 300 items. In order to return resources beyond this limit, you must use paging parameters. It is also recommended that you use additional query parameters to filter results and reduce the number of resources returned. See the section on query parameters in the appendix document for more information.

API format

GET /{CONTAINER_ID}/mixins?{QUERY_PARAMS}
Parameter
Description
{CONTAINER_ID}
The container you want to retrieve mixins from: global for Adobe-created mixins or tenant for mixins owned by your organization.
{QUERY_PARAMS}
Optional query parameters to filter results by. See the appendix document for a list of available parameters.

Request

The following request retrieves a list of mixins from the tenant container, using an orderby query parameter to sort the mixins by their title attribute.

curl -X GET \
  https://platform.adobe.io/data/foundation/schemaregistry/tenant/mixins?orderby=title \
  -H 'Accept: application/vnd.adobe.xed-id+json' \
  -H 'Authorization: Bearer {ACCESS_TOKEN}' \
  -H 'x-api-key: {API_KEY}' \
  -H 'x-gw-ims-org-id: {ORG_ID}' \
  -H 'x-sandbox-name: {SANDBOX_NAME}'

The response format depends on the Accept header sent in the request. The following Accept headers are available for listing mixins:

Accept header
Description
application/vnd.adobe.xed-id+json
Returns a short summary of each resource. This is the recommended header for listing resources. (Limit: 300)
application/vnd.adobe.xed+json
Returns full JSON mixin for each resource, with original $ref and allOf included. (Limit: 300)

Response

The request above used the application/vnd.adobe.xed-id+json Accept header, therefore the response includes only the title, $id, meta:altId, and version attributes for each mixin. Using the other Accept header (application/vnd.adobe.xed+json) returns all attributes of each mixin. Select the appropriate Accept header depending on the information you require in your response.

Look up a mixin lookup

You can look up a specific mixin by including the mixin’s ID in the path of a GET request.

API format

GET /{CONTAINER_ID}/mixins/{MIXIN_ID}
Parameter
Description
{CONTAINER_ID}
The container that houses the mixin you want to retrieve: global for an Adobe-created mixin or tenant for a mixin owned by your organization.
{MIXIN_ID}
The meta:altId or URL-encoded $id of the mixin you want to look up.

Request

The following request retrieves a mixin by its meta:altId value provided in the path.

curl -X GET \
  https://platform.adobe.io/data/foundation/schemaregistry/tenant/mixins/_{TENANT_ID}.mixins.8779fd45d6e4eb074300023a439862bbba359b60d451627a \

  -H 'Authorization: Bearer {ACCESS_TOKEN}' \
  -H 'x-api-key: {API_KEY}' \
  -H 'x-gw-ims-org-id: {ORG_ID}' \
  -H 'x-sandbox-name: {SANDBOX_NAME}'

The response format depends on the Accept header sent in the request. All lookup requests require a version be included in the Accept header. The following Accept headers are available:

Accept header
Description
application/vnd.adobe.xed+json; version=1
Raw with $ref and allOf, has titles and descriptions.
application/vnd.adobe.xed-full+json; version=1
$ref and allOf resolved, has titles and descriptions.
application/vnd.adobe.xed-notext+json; version=1
Raw with $ref and allOf, no titles or descriptions.
application/vnd.adobe.xed-full-notext+json; version=1
$ref and allOf resolved, no titles or descriptions.
application/vnd.adobe.xed-full-desc+json; version=1
$ref and allOf resolved, descriptors included.

Response

A successful response returns the details of the mixin. The fields that are returned depend on the Accept header sent in the request. Experiment with different Accept headers to compare the responses and determine which header is best for your use case.

Create a mixin create

You can define a custom mixin under the tenant container by making a POST request.

API format

POST /tenant/mixins

Request

When defining a new mixin, it must include a meta:intendedToExtend attribute, listing the $id of the classes with which the mixin is compatible. In this example, the mixin is compatible with a Property class that was defined previously. Custom fields must be nested under _{TENANT_ID} (as shown in the example) to avoid any collisions with similar fields provided by classes and other mixins.

NOTE
For details on how to define different field types to include in your mixin, see the field constraints guide.

Performing a GET request to list all mixins in the tenant container would now include the Property Details mixin, or you can perform a lookup (GET) request using the URL-encoded $id URI to view the new mixin directly.

Update a mixin put

You can replace an entire mixin through a PUT operation, essentially re-writing the resource. When updating a mixin through a PUT request, the body must include all of the fields that would be required when creating a new mixin in a POST request.

NOTE
If you only want to update part of a mixin instead of replacing it entirely, see the section on updating a portion of a mixin.

API format

PUT /tenant/mixins/{MIXIN_ID}
Parameter
Description
{MIXIN_ID}
The meta:altId or URL-encoded $id of the mixin you want to re-write.

Request

The following request re-writes an existing mixin, adding a new propertyCountry field.

Update a portion of a mixin patch

You can update a portion of a mixin by using a PATCH request. The Schema Registry supports all standard JSON Patch operations, including add, remove, and replace. For more information on JSON Patch, see the API fundamentals guide.

NOTE
If you want to replace an entire resource with new values instead of updating individual fields, see the section on replacing a mixin using a PUT operation.

API format

PATCH /tenant/mixin/{MIXIN_ID}
Parameter
Description
{MIXIN_ID}
The URL-encoded $id URI or meta:altId of the mixin you want to update.

Request

The example request below updates the description of an existing mixin, and adds a new propertyCity field.

The request body takes the form of an array, with each listed object representing a specific change to an individual field. Each object includes the operation to be performed (op), which field the operation should be performed on (path), and what information should be included in that operation (value).

curl -X PATCH \
  https://platform.adobe.io/data/foundation/schemaregistry/tenant/mixins/_{TENANT_ID}.mixins.8779fd45d6e4eb074300023a439862bbba359b60d451627a \

  -d '[
        {
          "op": "replace",
          "path": "/description",
          "value": "Details relating to a property operated by the company."
        },
        {
          "op": "add",
          "path": "/definitions/property/properties/_{TENANT_ID}/properties/propertyCity",
          "value": {
            "title": "Property City",
            "description": "City where the property is located.",
            "type": "string"
          }
        }
      ]'

Response

The response shows that both operations were performed successfully. The description has been updated, and propertyCountry has been added under definitions.

Delete a mixin delete

It may occasionally be necessary to remove a mixin from the Schema Registry. This is done by performing a DELETE request with the mixin ID provided in the path.

API format

DELETE /tenant/mixins/{MIXIN_ID}
Parameter
Description
{MIXIN_ID}
The URL-encoded $id URI or meta:altId of the mixin you want to delete.

Request

curl -X DELETE \
  https://platform.adobe.io/data/foundation/schemaregistry/tenant/mixins/_{TENANT_ID}.mixins.d5cc04eb8d50190001287e4c869ebe67 \
  -H 'Authorization: Bearer {ACCESS_TOKEN}' \
  -H 'x-api-key: {API_KEY}' \
  -H 'x-gw-ims-org-id: {ORG_ID}' \
  -H 'x-sandbox-name: {SANDBOX_NAME}'

Response

A successful response returns HTTP status 204 (No Content) and a blank body.

You can confirm the deletion by attempting a lookup (GET) request to the mixin. You will need to include an Accept header in the request, but should receive an HTTP status 404 (Not Found) because the mixin has been removed from the Schema Registry.
