Platform API

The mParticle platform API allows you to RESTfully create and update a number of entities such as Apps, App Platforms, as well as configure services to forward data to.

Endpoint

The platform API is located at https://api.mparticle.com.

Prerequisites to Accessing the API

Before you can authenticate to the Platform API you must first contact your account representative or contact our customer support team to arrange for a Client ID and Secret to access the Token API. You will need to provide a PGP public key for secure transmission of your credentials. You can then use the ID and secret to fetch an oauth access token.

Authentication

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 mParticle
  • client_secret - your Client Secret, issued by mParticle
  • audience - 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"
}

Using your Bearer Token

A successful POST request to the token endpoint will result in a JSON response as follows:

{
  "access_token": "YWIxMjdi883GHBBDnjsdKAJQxNjdjYUUJABbg6hdI.8V6HhxW-",
  "expires_in" : 86400,
  "token_type": "Bearer"
}

Subsequent requests to the API can now be authorized by setting the Authorization header as follows:

Authorization: Bearer YWIxMjdi883GHBBDnjsdKAJQxNjdjYUUJABbg6hdI.8V6HhxW-

Tokens cannot be revoked, but will expire every 24 hours. The initial token request can take between 1 and 3 seconds, so it is recommended that you cache the token and refresh it only when necessary.

Versioning

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.

API Usage

Specifying your Account ID

All API calls require you to pass AccountId as a querystring parameter when making the request, with the exception of a GET /accounts which lists all accounts. Forgetting to add the AccountId parameter when required will result in a 401 Unauthorized response.

If you are unsure what your Account ID is, you can make a GET request to https://api.mparticle.com/v1/accounts . This will return a list of Accounts within your Organization, and from there you can choose an Account ID to work with. All subsequent entities that you work with will be within the scope of the chosen Account ID. Attempting to access or modify entities outside of the specified Account ID scope will return 404 - Not Found.

Sending Data

All POST/PUT requests should send JSON as the Request Payload, with Content-Type set to application/json.

Return Data

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.

Status Codes

The following table lists the status codes that are returned by API requests:

Statis Code Method Notes
200 OK GET
201 Created POST
202 Accepted PUT
204 No Content HEAD/DELETE
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.

Cross Origin Resource Sharing

The mParticle REST API supports Cross Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) for AJAX requests from any origin.

  "isVisible": true,
  "settings":[
    {
      "name":"apiKey",
      "value":"My Test App Key"
    }
  ]
}
Parameters
Name Type Description
account string The name of the account you wish to configure.
name string The name of the service you wish to configure
isActive bool Controls whether data is actually pushed to the service
isVisible bool Whether the service is visible in the UI
settings array Array of setting objects
Errors
Name
Specified service not found.
Service does not support app platform.
Invalid settings entered while updating the service.
Provided setting not found.
Required setting not provided.
Setting value is required.
Notes

To discover what settings are available for each service, you can call https://api.mparticle.com/v1/services?accountId=1 to discover all services and supported settings.

The “account” parameter allows you to forward data to more than one account per service. It is internal to mParticle, and can be set to any name of your choosing. If omitted or set to null, the account name will be set to “Default Account”.

The “isVisible” flag allows you to create services that forward data in the background, but are not visible in the mParticle UI. This allows you to have two active forwarders per combination of app platform and service. This field is not required and will default to true if omitted.

Custom Service Settings

Google Analytics Settings

Google Analytics has a few configuration settings which require additional details to be set. These settings are listed below and are noted with a type of Custom in the services call.:

  1. customDimensions
  2. customMetrics

Example

{
  "account": "Default Account",
  "name":"GoogleAnalyticsEventForwarder",
  "isActive":true,
  "isVisible": true,
  "settings":[
    {
      "name":"apiKey",
      "value":"My Test App Key"
    }
    {
      "name":"customDimensions",
      "value":"[{\"maptype\":\"EventAttributeClass.Name\",\"map\":\"Bitcoins\",\"value\":\"Dimension 3\"}]"
    }
  ]
}

Check Google Analytics for additional details on these settings and the limits on the supported custom dimensions and metrics. The value for these settings is a json array containing objects with maptype, map and value. You need to indicate if you are using an Event Attribute or a User Attribute, and then specify the mapping to the Custom Dimension or Custom Metric.

Field Description Notes - examples

DataPoints

A DataPoint represents a unique data item that has been detected by our system. A DataPoint can be created by calling methods on our SDK such as logEvent, or they can be created using the Events API. Examples of DataPoints are Screen Views, Purchase Events, Navigation Events and Search events among others. All DataPoints are specific to a particular App.

Notes

You can add new DataPoints for an App using the API. DataPoints are automatically detected when data is received from your App, however it may be more convenient to insert this data using the API in advance, rather than waiting until your App is fully instrumented using the mParticle SDK. This will allow you to configure features such as Data Filtering without having to wait for App instrumentation to be completed.

DataPoint Filters

Get Service Filtering

GET /apps/1/GoogleAnalyticsEventForwarder?accountId=1

Get default filtering behavior for a service.

curl \
  -X GET \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YWIxMjdi883GHBBDnjsdKAJQxNjdjYUUJABbg6hdI.8V6HhxW-" \
  "https://api.mparticle.com/v1/apps/1/GoogleAnalyticsEventForwarder?accountId=1"
Example Response
{
  "data": [
    {
      "name": "GoogleAnalyticsEventForwarder",
      "sendNewDataPointsByDefault": true
    }
  ],
  "dataType": "datapoint",
  "errors": null
}
Notes

This call shows any filtering configuration that exists at the Service level. Currently, this is just one property, "sendNewDataPointsByDefault", which controls whether newly detected DataPoints are sent to this Service by default.

Update Service Filtering

PUT /apps/1/GoogleAnalyticsEventForwarder?accountId=1

curl \
  -X PUT \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YWIxMjdi883GHBBDnjsdKAJQxNjdjYUUJABbg6hdI.8V6HhxW-" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \

  "https://api.mparticle.com/v1/apps/1/GoogleAnalyticsEventForwarder/datapoints?accountId=1"
Example Request
{
  "sendNewDataPointsByDefault": false
}
Parameters
Name Type Description
sendNewDataPointsByDefault bool Controls whether newly detected DataPoints are sent to this service by default.
Notes

Setting "sendNewDataPointsByDefault" to false will prevent newly detected DataPoints from being sent to the specified Service. Any existing DataPoints will not be affected, and will continue to be sent or filtered based on the existing configuration.

Name Description
CustomerId Customer Id.
Facebook Facebook Id.
Twitter Twitter Handle.
Google Google Id.
Microsoft Microsoft Id.
Yahoo Yahoo Id.
Email Email Address.
Other Other.
Supported Event Types

If the "type" is set to "Event" or "EventAttribute", the "event_type" field can be set to one of the following values. If "type" is set to "EventType", then the "name" field should be set to one of the values below:

Name Description
unknown Unknown Event.
navigation Navigation Event.
location Location Event.
search Search Event.
transaction Transaction Event.
user_content User Content Event.
user_preference User Preference Event.
social Social Event.
other Other Event.
media Media Event.

If the "type" is set to "Commerce" or "CommerceAttribute", the "event_type" field can be set to one of the following values:

Name Description
product_add_to_cart Add to Cart Event.
product_remove_from_cart Remove from Cart Event.
product_checkout Checkout Event.

product_purchase Purchase Event.
product_refund Refund Event.
promotion_view Promotion View Event.
promotion_click Promotion Click Event.
Notes

When configuring DataPoints of type "EventAttribute" or "ScreenViewAttribute" or "CommerceAttribute", you must include the name of the attribute in "attribute_name", and the name of the parent DataPoint in "name".

When configuring DataPoints of type "Event" or "EventAttribute", you must set the "event_type" field. Failure to do so will cause an error to occur. The "event_type" field is ignored for other types of DataPoints other than “Event” and "EventAttribute".

If the DataPoint specified does not exist, it will be created automatically. Please note that to avoid creating duplicate DataPoints unintentionally, "type", "name", "attribute_name" and "event_type" should all be set correctly.

Due to the hierarchical nature of DataPoints, disabling some types of DataPoints will cause child DataPoints to also become disabled automatically. For example, turning off EventType "Navigation" will cause all Events and EventAttributes of that Event Type to become disabled. Turning off an Event will cause all child Event Attributes to become disabled.
