GET - View

The Custom Audience API enables you to create, update, delete and list custom audiences. A custom audience can contain a list of custom user IDs, advertising IDs (GAID or IDFA) or install IDs.

This is useful to target segments with push notifications or In-App messages, either they are coming from your userbase or created by third-party tools.

Custom audiences created using the API can be targeted from Batch’s dashboard or the Campaigns API.

Request structure

Route

The Custom Audience API exposes a GET endpoint that allows to get information about a custom audience :

https://api.batch.com/1.0/BATCH_API_KEY/custom-audience

Here is a valid cURL example:

curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "X-Authorization: BATCH_REST_API_KEY" -X GET "https://api.batch.com/1.0/BATCH_API_KEY/custom-audience"

The BATCH_API_KEY value is either your Live, Dev or SDK Batch API key from the settings page of your app within the dashboard (⚙ Settings → General).

Headers

In order to authenticate with the API, you need to provide your company REST API Key as the value of the X-Authorization header. You can find it in ⚙ Settings → General.

Get parameters

Here is an example of a valid CURL CLI request :

curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "X-Authorization: BATCH_REST_API_KEY" -X GET
