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.

Who can use this feature?

To use the APIs, you must have a Visier account with a profile that has the API capability. If you don't have an account, contact your administrator. They will create an account for you with permissions that allow you to view data.

In addition to an API profile, your API user must have a profile with the following capabilities:

  • Data: Write (access level), Simple (view level)
  • Model: Write (access level), Simple (view level)
  • Manage Jobs
  • Data Upload
  • Direct Publish

Not sure if you have this feature or capability? Reach out to your administrator.

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
