Direct Data Intake API

Load data directly into Visier objects. These objects can be delivered as part of Visier Blueprint, locally modified objects, or even completely custom objects.

Access requirements

To use APIs, you must have a Visier account and authenticate. For more information about authenticating, see API Authentication.

Custom profile with these capabilities: Data (Write, Simple), Model (Write, Simple), Data Upload, Direct Publish, Manage Jobs

Reach out to your administrator for access.

Overview

Use the Direct Data Intake (DDI) API to load data into objects in your Visier solution. Objects must be released to production to receive data through the DDI API.

To send data files using the API, the data files must be in a location that your API application can access. If using Postman, the data files you want to upload must be in Postman's files folder on your local device. For more information, see "Working directory" in Setting up Postman.

Note: Filenames can contain letters (A-Z, a-z), numbers (0-9), hyphens (-), periods (.), and underscores (_).

You can load data into:

  • Subjects
  • Events
  • Parent-child dimensions
  • Multi-value properties
