Moments API endpoint | Moments API

How it works

The Moments API engine creates a unique endpoint for your region, account, and profile. Each engine assigns a unique engine ID to each endpoint.

Data for visitors becomes available after you enable the engine and visitors log active sessions and generate events in the system. If you request data for a visitor and they have not logged an active session yet, the API will not return any data.

To retrieve visitor data, configure a Tealium iQ Advanced JavaScript Code Extension to make a request to the Moments API endpoint.

GET method

Use the GET method to retrieve audience, badge, and attribute data that you specified in your Moments API engine:

GET  https://personalization-api.{REGION}.prod.tealiumapis.com/personalization/accounts/{ACCOUNT}/profiles/{PROFILE}/engines/{ENGINE_ID}/visitors/{IDENTIFIER}?ignoreTapid={IGNORE_TAPID}&suppressNotFound={SUPPRESS_NOT_FOUND}

This command uses the following parameters:

Parameter	Type	Description
`identifier`	String Path parameter	The Tealium anonymous visitor ID. Required if `ignoreTapid` is set to `true`.
`ignoreTapid`	Boolean Query parameter	Determines whether the API will use the visitor ID from the TAPID cookie or from the URL path parameter. The default is `false`. `false` - The API uses the visitor ID value from the TAPID cookie. `true` - The API uses the visitor ID from the URL path parameter.
`suppressNotFound`	Boolean Query parameter	Determines the response type returned when a visitor is not found. The default is `false`. `true` - Returns an HTTP 200 code with an empty response body. `false` - Returns an HTTP 404 code.

Objects

Moments API returns visitor data as JSON objects that contain the audience, badge, and attribute fields you specify in the engine configuration.

You can configure visitor attributes to be returned with the ID or name, as seen in the following response body example:

{
    "audiences": [
        "VIP", 
        "Women's Apparel",
        "Lifetime visit count"
    ],
    "badges": [
        "13",
        "26",
        "52"
    ],
    "properties": {
        "5063": 6.0,
        "6021": "banner_007",
        "6022": "voucher_614",
        "6023": "https://domain.com/example.html"
    }  
}

The following data types are not supported by Moments API:

Attributes marked as PII
Array of booleans
Array of numbers
Array of strings
Funnels
Set of strings
Tally
Timeline
