The mParticle platform API allows you to RESTfully create and update a number of entities as well as configure services to forward data to.
For a complete API reference for each set of Platform API resources, see the following:
The rest of this page provides general usage guidelines applicable to all resources contained in the Platform API.
The Platform API is located at https://api.mparticle.com.
To authenticate to the Platform API, use the API Credentials interface to create a Client ID and Secret, then use these credentials to fetch an OAuth access token.
Once your API user is set up, you can authenticate by issuing a POST request to mParticle’s SSO token endpoint.
https://sso.auth.mparticle.com/oauth/token
The JSON body of the request must contain:
client_id - your Client ID, issued by mParticleclient_secret - your Client Secret, issued by mParticleaudience - set to a value of "https://api.mparticle.com"grant_type - set to a value of "client_credentials"Curl Syntax
curl --request POST \
--url https://sso.auth.mparticle.com/oauth/token \
--header 'content-type: application/json' \
--data '{"client_id":"...","client_secret":"...","audience":"https://api.mparticle.com","grant_type":"client_credentials"}'Sample Raw HTTP Request
POST /oauth/token HTTP/1.1
Host: sso.auth.mparticle.com
Content-Type: application/json
{
"client_id": "your_client_id",
"client_secret": "your_client_secret",
"audience": "https://api.mparticle.com",
"grant_type": "client_credentials"
}A successful POST request to the token endpoint will result in a JSON response as follows:
{
"access_token": "YWIxMjdi883GHBBDnjsdKAJQxNjdjYUUJABbg6hdI.8V6HhxW-",
"expires_in" : 28800,
"token_type": "Bearer"
}Subsequent requests to the API can now be authorized by setting the Authorization header as follows:
Authorization: Bearer YWIxMjdi883GHBBDnjsdKAJQxNjdjYUUJABbg6hdI.8V6HhxW-
Once you have authenticated, the API resources can be accessed at https://api.mparticle.com/v1/.
Subsequent updates to the API that introduce breaking changes will be published with a new version number in the URL.
Unless otherwise stated in the documentation for the specific resource group you are using, all API calls require you to pass in your AccountId as a querystring parameter. Forgetting to add the AccountId parameter when required will result in a 401 Unauthorized response.
All subsequent entities that you work with will be within the scope of the chosen account ID. Attempting to access or modify entities outside the specified Account ID scope will return 404 - Not Found.
Unless otherwise stated in the documentation for the specific resource group you are using, all POST/PUT requests should send JSON as the Request Payload, with Content-Type set to application/json.
Unless otherwise stated in the documentation for the specific resource group you are using, if an API request returns data, it will be wrapped in a common JSON structure.
{
"data": [],
"dataType": "app",
"errors": [
{
"code": "VALIDATION_ERROR",
"message": "Error message here"
}
]
}One or more entities will be returned as an array in the data property. If errors were encountered, they will be available as an array of error objects.
The following table lists the status codes that are returned by API requests:
| Status | Code | Method | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 200 | OK | GET | |
| 201 | Created | POST | |
| 202 | Accepted | PUT/DELETE | |
| 204 | No Content | HEAD | |
| 400 | Bad Request | All | JSON Syntax is invalid. |
| 401 | Unauthorized | All | User failed authentication. |
| 403 | Forbidden | All | Identity is not authorized to invoke specified method. |
| 404 | Not Found | GET | Resource does not exist or user does not have access. |
| 405 | Method Not Allowed | All | Specified HTTP method not supported. |
| 422 | Unprocessable Entity | PUT/POST/DELETE | Request failed business logic rules. |
| 500 | Internal Server Error | All | Contact mParticle support to resolve this error. |
| 504 | Bad Gateway | All | mParticle server error, retry with exponential backoff. |
The mParticle REST API supports Cross Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) for AJAX requests from any origin.
