Export/Import endpoints
All resources within the Schema Library are contained in a specific sandbox within an IMS Organization. In some cases, you may want to share Experience Data Model (XDM) resources between sandboxes and IMS Orgs. The Schema Registry API provides two endpoints that allow you generate an export payload for any schema, mixin, or data type in the Schema Library, and then use that payload to import that resource (and all dependent resources) into a target sandbox and IMS Org.
Getting started
The endpoints used in this guide are 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.
The export/import endpoints are part of the remote procedure calls (RPCs) that are supported by the Schema Registry. Unlike other endpoints in the Schema Registry API, RPC endpoints do not require additional headers like Accept or Content-Type, and do not use a CONTAINER_ID. Instead, they must use the /rpc namespace, as demonstrated in the API calls below.
Retrieve an export payload for a resource
For any existing schema, mixin, or data type in the Schema Library, you can generate an export payload by making a GET request to the /export endpoint, providing the ID of the resource in the path.
API format
GET /rpc/export/{RESOURCE_ID}
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
{RESOURCE_ID} |
The meta:altId or URL-encoded $id of the XDM resource you want to export. |
Request
The following request retrieves an export payload for a Restaurant mixin.
curl -X GET \
https://platform.adobe.io/data/foundation/schemaregistry/rpc/export/_{TENANT_ID}.mixins.922a56b58c6b4e4aeb49e577ec82752106ffe8971b23b4d9 \
-H 'Authorization: Bearer {ACCESS_TOKEN}' \
-H 'x-api-key: {API_KEY}' \
-H 'x-gw-ims-org-id: {IMS_ORG}' \
-H 'x-sandbox-name: {SANDBOX_NAME}' \
-H 'Accept: application/vnd.adobe.xdm-link+json'
Response
A successful response returns an array of objects, which represent the target XDM resource and all of its dependent resources. In this example, the first object in the array is a tenant-created Property data type that the Restaurant mixin employs, while the second object is the Restaurant mixin itself. This payload can then be used to import the resource into a different sandbox or IMS Organization.
Note that all instances of the resource’s tenant ID are replaced with <XDM_TENANTID_PLACEHOLDER>. This allows the Schema Registry to automatically apply the correct tenant ID to the resources depending on where they are sent in the subsequent import call.

Import a resource
Once you have generated an export payload for an XDM resource, you can use that payload in a POST request to the /import endpoint to import that resource into a target IMS Org and sandbox.
API format
POST /rpc/import
Request
The following request takes the payload returned in the previous export example to import the Restaurant mixin into a new IMS Org and sandbox, as determined by the x-gw-ims-org-id and x-sandbox-name headers, respectively.
curl -X POST \
https://platform.adobe.io/data/foundation/schemaregistry/rpc/import \
-H 'Authorization: Bearer {ACCESS_TOKEN}' \
-H 'x-api-key: {API_KEY}' \
-H 'x-gw-ims-org-id: {IMS_ORG}' \
