Transition from Target legacy APIs to Adobe I/O

Information to help you use transition from the Target legacy APIs to the new APIs on Adobe I/O.

With the decommissioning of Adobe Target Classic, the APIs that are connected to your Target Classic account have also been made unavailable. This document will help you transition your legacy API-based integrations to the Target APIs powered by Adobe I/O.

For more information about the Target API documentation, see Target APIs and NodeJS SDK.

Terminology

Term Description
Legacy API APIs that are linked to your Target Classic account. These API calls are based on a username and password-based authentication and use the hostname testandtarget.omniture.com. If your API calls contain a user name and password in the request URL, you must transition to Adobe I/O APIs.
Adobe I/O Adobe I/O is the new gateway for Target APIs. These APIs are connected to your Target Standard/Premium account. The Target APIs on Adobe I/O use a JWT-based authentication, which is the industry standard for secure enterprise APIs.
