Segment jobs endpoint

A segment job is an asynchronous process that creates an audience segment on demand. It references a segment definition, as well as any merge policies controlling how Real-Time Customer Profile merges overlapping attributes across your profile fragments. When a segment job successfully completes, you can gather various information about the segment, such as any errors that may have occurred during processing and the ultimate size of your audience.

This guide provides information to help you better understand segment jobs and includes sample API calls for performing basic actions using the API.

Getting started

The endpoints used in this guide are part of the Adobe Experience Platform Segmentation Service API. Before continuing, please review the getting started guide for important information that you need to know in order to successfully make calls to the API, including required headers and how to read example API calls.

Retrieve a list of segment jobs retrieve-list

You can retrieve a list of all segment jobs for your organization by making a GET request to the /segment/jobs endpoint.

API format

The /segment/jobs endpoint supports several query parameters to help filter your results. While these parameters are optional, their use is strongly recommended to help reduce expensive overhead. Making a call to this endpoint with no parameters will retrieve all export jobs available for your organization. Multiple parameters can be included, separated by ampersands (&).

GET /segment/jobs
GET /segment/jobs?{QUERY_PARAMETERS}

Query parameters

A list of available query parameters.
table 0-row-3 1-row-3 2-row-3 3-row-3 4-row-3 5-row-3
Parameter Description Example
start Specifies the starting offset for the segment jobs returned. start=1
limit Specifies the number of segment jobs returned per page. limit=20
status Filters the results based on status. The supported values are NEW, QUEUED, PROCESSING, SUCCEEDED, FAILED, CANCELLING, CANCELLED status=NEW
sort Orders the segment jobs returned. Is written in the format `[attributeName]:[desc asc]`.
property

Filters segment jobs and gets exact matches for the filter given. It can be written in either of the following formats:

  • [jsonObjectPath]==[value] - filtering on the object key
  • [arrayTypeAttributeName]~[objectKey]==[value] - filtering within the array
 property=segments~segmentId==workInUS

Request

A sample request to view a list of segment jobs.
code language-shell 
curl -X GET https://platform.adobe.io/data/core/ups/segment/jobs?status=SUCCEEDED \
 -H 'Authorization: Bearer {ACCESS_TOKEN}' \
 -H 'x-gw-ims-org-id: {ORG_ID}' \
 -H 'x-api-key: {API_KEY}' \
 -H 'x-sandbox-name: {SANDBOX_NAME}'

Response

A successful response returns HTTP status 200 with a list of segment jobs for the specified organization as JSON. However, the response will differ, depending on the number of segment definitions within the segment job.

Less than or equal to 1500 segment definitions in your segment job

If you have less than 1500 segment definitions being run in your segment job, a full list of all the segment definitions will be displayed within the children.segments attribute.

  • “exited” - The number of profiles that no longer exist in the segment definition.
metrics.totalProfilesByMergePolicy The total number of merged profiles on a per merge policy basis.

Create a new segment job create

You can create a new segment job by making a POST request to the /segment/jobs endpoint and including in the body the ID of the segment definition from which you would like to create a new audience.

API format

POST /segment/jobs

When creating a new segment job, the request and response will differ depending on the number of segment definitions within the segment job.

Less than or equal to 1500 segments in your segment job

Cancel or delete a specific segment job delete

You can delete a specific segment job by making a DELETE request to the /segment/jobs endpoint and providing the ID of the segment job you wish to delete in the request path.

NOTE
The API response to the delete request is immediate. However, the actual deletion of the segment job is asynchronous. In other words, there is a time difference between when the delete request to the segment job is made and when it is applied.
