Warehouse Sync API Reference

The Warehouse Sync API enables you to create and manage data ingestion pipelines with your cloud data warehouses.

Base URI

https://api.mparticle.com/platform/v2/workspaces/{workspaceId}

To find your workspace id, follow the instructions in Managing Workspaces.

Resources

Use the Warehouse Sync API resources (endpoints) to work with connections, data models, and data pipelines in order to ingest data into mParticle from data warehouses.

  • A connection defines the location and credentials to allow mParticle to connect to your data warehouse
  • A data model defines the structure and key columns to understand your data
  • A pipeline defines the schedule of when to run your sync

Best Practices

mParticle recommends:

  • Include “connection,” “model,” or “pipeline” at the end of each connection, model, or pipeline name to make it easy to identify each type
  • Share your connection resource among pipelines that sync data from the same warehouse
  • Utilize paused state on the pipeline resource to pause syncing
  • Test your SQL query and data model on your warehouse before creating your pipeline to ensure column names are accurate and only includes fields you want applied
  • Use the incremental sync mode to keep track of which rows need to be loaded to improve performance and reduce costs
  • Normalize your timestamps to UTC timestamps to ease traceability and observability of timestamps as events and attributes are synchronized and forwarded
  • Utilize fully qualified names when identifying items in your database. Simply providing SELECT * FROM table may not work. You should provide a fully qualified name like SELECT * FROM database.schema.name

  • Complete the Warehouse Sync API tutorial with the provided Postman collection and environment:

    Run in Postman

    A copy of the Warehouse Sync environment is included. You can download it again here.

Connections

Use these endpoints for managing connections to data sources.

Data Pipelines

Use these endpoints for managing pipelines. Pipelines execute a data model to a connection at the specified schedule.

Schedule and Sync Mode Type

A Pipeline’s schedule is used to configure the execution interval of a pipeline. A Pipeline’s sync mode is used to configure what records are synchronized in each run.

These are the following supported schedule type fields:

  • interval - Used for repeated pipelines according to the pipeline’s frequency
  • on_demand - Used for pipelines that will use the trigger API
  • once - The pipeline will only be ran once. This is recommended to perform a single pipeline sync of a table that doesn’t need to be repeated

These are the following supported schedule frequency fields:

  • hourly
  • daily
  • weekly
  • monthly

These are the following supported sync_mode type fields:

  • incremental - Used for pipelines that only load data that has changed between runs according to the iterator_field

    • The first run for incremental sync modes will be a full sync
  • full - Use to perform a full sync on each pipeline interval run. Not recommended as it may lead to repeated data and events

Example 1: Hourly incremental pipeline

The following values creates a pipeline that runs every hour starting February 1st 2023

{
  "sync_mode": {
    "type": "incremental",
    "iterator_field": "updated_on",
    "iterator_data_type": "datetime_tz"
  },
  "schedule": {
    "type": "interval",
    "frequency": "hourly",
    "start": "2023-02-01T00:15:00Z"
  }
}

Example 2: Hourly incremental pipeline with a 15 minutes delay

The following values creates a pipeline that runs 15 minutes after every hour to account for a delay in data arriving in the source data model

{
  "sync_mode": {
    "type": "incremental",
    "iterator_field": "updated_on",
    "iterator_data_type": "datetime_tz"
  },
  "schedule": {
    "type": "interval",
    "frequency": "hourly",
    "start": "2023-02-01T00:00:00Z",
    "delay": "15m"
  }
}

Example 3: Midnight UTC daily pipelines for the month of February

The following values creates a pipeline that runs every 24 hours for the month of February starting at noon each day and filters data to only include data for that time period

{
  "sync_mode": {
    "type": "incremental",
    "iterator_field": "updated_on",
    "iterator_data_type": "datetime_tz",
    "from": "2023-02-01T12:00:00Z",
    "until": "2023-03-01T:12:00:00Z"
  },
  "schedule": {
    "type": "interval",
    "frequency": "daily",
    "start": "2023-02-01T12:00:00Z",
    "end": "2023-03-01T:12:00:00Z"
  }
}

Example 4: Monthly pipelines running on the 5th day of the month at midnight UTC

The following values creates a pipeline that runs every every month starting in February 5th 2023 with a 5 day delay. The first run should only synchronize data going back to January 2020

{
  "sync_mode": {
    "type": "incremental",
    "iterator_field": "updated_on",
    "iterator_data_type": "datetime_tz",
    "from": "2020-01-01T00:00:00Z"
  },
  "schedule": {
    "type": "interval",
    "frequency": "monthly",
    "start": "2023-02-01T00:00:00Z",
    "delay": "5d"
  }
}

Example 5: Pipelines that will be triggered on demand

The following values creates a pipeline that can be triggered on demand. Each trigger creates a new pipeline run starting from the previous successful pipeline run or schedule_start_time until the time the trigger is requested.

{
  "sync_mode": {
    "type": "incremental",
    "iterator_field": "updated_on",
    "iterator_data_type": "datetime_tz",
    "from": "2020-01-01T00:00:00Z"
  },
  "schedule": {
    "type": "on_demand"
  }
}

The following table shows an example of how the pipeline’s intervals are set for each action that is performed.

Date Action Description
2023-02-01 15:13:22Z Pipeline Created The pipeline is initially idle
2023-02-04 08:30:17Z Trigger API Called An interval will synchronize data between 2020-01-01 00:00:00Z and 2023-02-04 08:30:17Z
2023-02-08 12:05:45Z Trigger API Called An interval will synchronize data between 2023-02-04 08:30:11Z and 2023-02-08 12:05:45Z

example 6: Once pipeline that executes immediately and synchronizes all data in a specific time window

the following values creates a pipeline that runs immediately, synchronizing values in the table for timestamped for the year 2020.

{
  "sync_mode": {
    "type": "full",
    "iterator_field": "updated_on",
    "iterator_data_type": "datetime_tz",
    "from": "2020-01-01T00:00:00Z",
    "until": "2021-01-01T00:00:00Z"
  },
  "schedule": {
    "type": "once"
  }
}

Status and Errors

If an error occurs, the status of the connection, data model, and/or pipeline will be set appropriately with an error message detailing what may be wrong. In a faulted state, no data will synchronize until the issue is resolved. You may update the affected resource using a patch or put command which will clear the fault and the pipeline will run on the next scheduled interval. Alternatively you may issue a re-sync command by using the trigger API which will retry the pipeline.

Create a pipeline

POST {baseURI}/inputs/data-pipelines

Parameters:

Name Type Required Description
id string Required Unique identifier in slug format. Valid characters include numbers, letters, _, and -
name string Required Name of the pipeline
pipeline_type string Required Valid values: user_attributes, events. If set to events, you must use a fields transformation to map your source data to the destination fields in mParticle.
connection_id string Required The ID of the connection to use with this pipeline
field_transformation_id string Required for event pipelines The ID of the field transformation to use when mapping fields in your warehouse data to event fields in mParticle. Field transformations are not available for user data pipelines.
data_model_id string Required The ID of the data model to use with this pipeline
partner_feed_id integer Optional The ID of the feed that incoming data will route to. To learn how to create a feed using an API, see feeds API. ^1^
partner_feed_key string Optional The Key of the feed that incoming data will route to.
state string Required The state of the pipeline. Valid values: new, active or paused
sync_mode object Required JSON object containing the sync mode settings
type string Required Valid values: incremental or full
iterator_field string Required if incremental A name of a column in the database. mParticle uses the iterator to track what data needs to be synced.
iterator_data_type string Required if incremental The data type for the iterator field. For example: timestamp
from string Optional Timestamp for first record to sync. Format: 2022-10-30T11:00:16Z
until string Optional Timestamp for last record to sync. Format: 2022-10-30T11:00:16Z
schedule object Required JSON object containing the pipeline scheduling settings
type string Required Valid values: interval, once, or on-demand
frequency string Required if interval Frequency to sync data. Valid values: hourly, daily, weekly, monthly
delay string Required The amount of time to delay a scheduled interval sync. Useful for situations where data may only be available in the source data set after a period of time. Format: 1d. A number, followed immediately by one of the following units: s for seconds, m for minutes, h for hours, d for days, w for weeks, and y for years.
start string Required if interval Timestamp of first scheduled interval sync. If sync_mode.from is equal to the provided start date, the pipeline will start on the next scheduled interval. Format: 2022-10-30T11:00:16Z
end string Optional Timestamp of last scheduled interval sync. Format: 2022-10-30T11:00:16Z
environment string Required mParticle environment to sync data as. Valid values: development, production
data_plan_id string Optional ID for the data plan to associate with the pipeline
data_plan_version string Optional Version for the data plan to associate with the pipeline

When creating a new pipeline, you must decide if your pipeline will be used to ingest event data or user data:

  • Event data pipelines: if your pipeline will ingest event data, you must specify the ID of a field transformation that mParticle uses to map data in your warehouse to the correct field in the mParticle JSON schema.
  • User data pipelines: if your pipeline will ingest user data, the data model you defined with your SQL query provides the necessary mapping between your warehouse fields and mParticle fields. Field transformations are not available for user data pipelines, and including a field transformation ID with a user data pipeline request results in an error.

To lean more about field transformations and how to create them with the Field Transformations API, see Field Transformations API.

Delete a pipeline

Request: DELETE {baseURI}/inputs/data-pipelines/{pipelineId}

Request body: None

Trigger a pipeline

POST {baseURI}/inputs/data-pipelines/trigger

Starts syncing data from a pipeline. The behavior varies depending on the pipeline’s sync mode:

  • incremental sync mode: the pipeline syncs data for since the last successful sync till the time the trigger was executed
  • full_sync sync mode: syncs all data in a pipeline

If a pipeline is faulted, you can use the trigger endpoint to re-attempt synchronization. If successful, this clears the faulted status.

Returns an error 400 if the pipeline is not idle.

The following table shows an example of how the pipeline’s intervals are set for each action that is performed.

Date Action Description
2023-02-01 15:13:22Z Pipeline Created The pipeline is initially idle
2023-02-04 08:30:17Z Trigger API Called An interval will synchronize data between 2023-02-01 00:00:00Z and 2023-02-04 08:30:17Z
2023-02-08 12:05:45Z Trigger API Called An interval will synchronize data between 2023-02-04 08:30:11Z and 2023-02-08 12:05:45Z

Example request body:

Error codes and status codes

The Warehouse Sync API returns error codes or status codes in response to every request.

Status codes

200: Successful request. The message varies depending on which resource you requested.

204: Empty response. Indicates a successful operation.

Error codes

400: The resource could not be created because of an error in the request or the entity is in an unprocessable state. This may mean the SQL query contains invalid characters or the query is otherwise invalid. This could be the result of supplying a data plan ID for a plan that is not active.

404: The requested resource or object wasn’t found. The message varies depending on which resource or object you requested. This could be the result of supplying a data plan ID for a data plan that does not exist in your workspace, or if the data plan does exist but you did not specify a data plan version.

505: The request failed to connect to the warehouse account. Check the username and password, and make sure the source account ID, region, warehouse, and database entries are correct.
