- Experience Data Model (XDM) System: The standardized framework by which Experience Platform organizes customer experience data.

Reading sample API calls reading-sample-api-calls
This guide provides example API calls to demonstrate how to format your requests. These include paths, required headers, and properly formatted request payloads. Sample JSON returned in API responses is also provided. For information on the conventions used in documentation for sample API calls, see the section on how to read example API calls in the Experience Platform troubleshooting guide.
Gather values for required headers gather-values-for-required-headers
In order to make calls to Adobe Experience Platform APIs, you must first complete the authentication tutorial. Completing the authentication tutorial provides the values for each of the required headers in all Experience Platform API calls, as shown below:
Authorization: Bearer {ACCESS_TOKEN}x-api-key: {API_KEY}x-gw-ims-org-id: {IMS_ORG}x-sandbox-name: {SANDBOX_NAME}
All requests that contain a payload (POST, PUT, PATCH) require an additional header:
Content-Type: application/json
