Request structure

Route

The Audience API exposes a POST endpoint that allows to add or delete users from an audience:

https://api.batch.com/2.4/audiences/update

Headers and authentication

See Overview → Using Project APIs.

Post data

The body of the request must contain a valid JSON payload describing the operations to be executed on the audience.

Here is a how a complete JSON payload looks like:

{
  "name": "AUDIENCE_NAME",
  "ids": [
    {
      "action": "add",
      "id": "CUSTOM-ID-1",
      "attributes": {
        "att1": 3,
        "att2": "string",
        "date(att15)": "2023-08-12T22:30:05Z",
        "url(att20)": "https://example.com/image.jpg"
      }
    },
    {
      "action": "add",
      "id": "CUSTOM-ID-2",
      "attributes": {
        "att1": 2,
        "att2": "string",
        "date(att15)": "2023-08-12T22:30:05Z",
        "url(att20)": "https://example.com/image.jpg"
      }
    }
  ]
}

NOTE: If multiple actions are given for the same ID, only the last one will be taken into account.

Responses

Success

If the PATCH to the API endpoint is successful you will receive an HTTP 202 confirmation and a token.

{
  "indexing_token": "a0082dc6860938a26280bd3ba927303b"
}

Once you get your token, you can use it to check the indexing state of this update with the API.

Failure

If the POST data does not meet the API requirements you will receive an actionable error message. Contact us at [email protected] if you need further support.

Processing time

While the indexation of IDs is usually done in real time, we offer no guarantees. If you send a campaign right after the audience creation, you might end up with a campaign targeting nobody. A call to the view action with the indexing token replies with an APPLIED indexing state if the processing is finished (and IN_PROCESS if it is still ongoing).
