Data Planning API
Overview
Data Master is underpinned by the Data Planning API. This guide covers the underlying data model and describes how you can use Data Master programmatically via an HTTP API. Some example use cases you can achieve with the Data Planning API are:
- Store your Data Plans in your source code, and use your own SDLC and approval processes to define your data model
- Create, read, update and delete Data Plans
- Integrate mParticle’s suite of Data Planning tools to perform compile-time and runtime data quality verification
Data Model
The following diagram shows the relationship structure defined by the Data Planning API:
- For every mParticle workspace, you may have many Data Plans
- Data Plans contain Data Plan Versions
- Data Plan Versions contain Data Points
Data Points
Each Data Point is composed of two key elements, a “criteria” used to match the Data Point within an incoming data stream, and “schema” that is used to validate the contents of the Data Point:
- Criteria: As data streams into mParticle via the Events API, the Criteria is used to locate the Data Point within the payload, then the schema (described below) is used to validate it.
- Schema: The validation schema defines the expected syntax of each Data Point. This is a JSON Schema object.
Helper SDKs
The Data Planning HTTP API can be used from one of mParticle’s helper SDKs. These SDKs take care of authentication and implement the HTTP contract for you:
Open API
You can use the Open API specification (also known as Swagger) below to generate helper SDKs (using Swagger Codegen or OpenAPI Generator) for the Data Planning API:
Postman
You can also get started quickly with a Postman collection:
HTTP API
Authentication
Calls to the Data Planning API are authenticated via mParticle access token, which are based on the JSON Web Token standard. If you’re using one of the helper SDKs, this is taken care of for you.
Parameters
