Target API reference (new)

Get custom visitor IDs

Use this API to get the custom visitor ID for Target.

{% tabs %} {% tab title="Android" %}

getThirdPartyId

The callback is invoked to return the thirdPartyId value, or if no third-party ID is set, null is returned.

Syntax

public static void getThirdPartyId(final AdobeCallback<String> callback)

Example

Target.getThirdPartyId(new AdobeCallback<String>() {                    
    @Override
    public void call(String thirdPartyID) {
                // read target's thirdPartyID
    }
});

{% endtab %}

{% tab title="iOS" %}

getThirdPartyId

Gets the custom visitor ID for Target. The callback will be invoked to return the thirdPartyId value, or if no third-party ID is set, nil is returned.

Syntax

+ (void) getThirdPartyId: (nonnull void (^) (NSString* __nullable thirdPartyId)) callback;

Examples

Here are the examples in Objective C and Swift:

Objective C

[ACPTarget getThirdPartyId:^(NSString *thirdPartyId){
       // read thirdPartyId
}];

Swift

ACPTarget.getThirdPartyId({thirdPartyID in
       // read thirdPartyId
})

{% endtab %} {% endtabs %}

Set custom visitor IDs

Use this API to set custom visitor IDs for Target.

{% hint style="info" %} This ID is preserved between app upgrades, is saved and restored during the standard application backup process, and is removed at uninstall or when the reset experience API is used. {% endhint %}

{% tabs %} {% tab title="Android" %}

setThirdPartyId

Syntax

public static void setThirdPartyId(final String thirdPartyId)

Example

Target.setThirdPartyId("third-party-id");

{% endtab %}

{% tab title="iOS" %}

setThirdPartyId

Sets the custom visitor ID for Target. This ID is preserved between app upgrades, is saved and restored during the standard application backup process, and is removed at uninstall or when resetExperience API is called.

Syntax

+ (void) setThirdPartyId: (nullable NSString*) thirdPartyId;

Examples

Here are some examples in Objective-C and Swift:

Objective-C

[ACPTarget setThirdPartyId:@"third-party-id"];

Swift

ACPTarget.setThirdPartyId("third-party-id")

{% endtab %} {% endtabs %}

Reset user experience

Use this API to reset the user's experience by removing the visitor identifiers. This method also removes previously set third-party and Target IDs from persistent storage.

{% tabs %} {% tab title="Android" %}

resetExperience

Syntax

public static void resetExperience()

Example

Target.resetExperience();

{% endtab %}

{% tab title="iOS" %}

resetExperience

Syntax

+ (void) resetExperience;

Examples

Here are some examples in Objective-C and Swift:

Objective-C

[ACPTarget resetExperience];

Swift

ACPTarget.resetExperience()

{% endtab %} {% endtabs %}

Get Target user identifier

Gets the Target user identifier.

{% tabs %} {% tab title="Android" %}

getTntId

The callback is invoked to return the tntId value 0 if no Target ID is set, and null is returned.

Target returns tntId with a successful call to loadRequests or prefetchContent. Once set in the SDK, this ID is preserved between app upgrades, is saved and restored during the standard application backup process, and is removed at uninstall or when resetExperience API is called.

Syntax

public static void getTntId(final AdobeCallback<String> callback)

Example

Target.getTntId(new AdobeCallback<String>() {
    @Override
    public void call(String value) {
        // read target's tntid
    }
});

{% endtab %}

{% tab title="iOS" %}

getTntId

Gets the Target user identifier. The callback will be invoked to return the tntId value, or if no Target ID is set, nil is returned.

Target returns tntId upon a successful call to loadRequests or prefetchContent. Once set in SDK, this ID is preserved between app upgrades, is saved and restored during the standard application backup process, and is removed at uninstall or when resetExperience API is called.

Syntax

+ (void) getTntId: (nonnull void (^) (NSString* __nullable tntId)) callback;

Examples

Objective-C

[ACPTarget getTntId:^(NSString *tntId){
       // read target's tntId
}];

Swift

ACPTarget.getTntId({tntId in
       // read target's tntId
})

{% endtab %} {% endtabs %}

Retrieve Location Content requests

Executes a batch request to the configured Target server for multiple mbox locations. The main difference with loadRequests API is in usage along with prefetch APIs. This API only returns the content and does not increase the reporting count. If you are using normal batch requests, then there is no difference with loadRequests API.

{% tabs %} {% tab title="Android" %}

retrieveLocationContent

Sends a batch request to your configured Target server for multiple mbox locations that are specified in the TargetRequest list. Any prefetched content which matches a given mbox location is returned and not included in the batch request to the Target server. Each object in the list contains a callback function, which will be invoked when content is available for its given mbox location.

Syntax

public static void retrieveLocationContent(final List<TargetRequest> targetRequestList,
                                           final TargetParameters parameters)

Example

// define parameters for first request
Map<String, Object> mboxParameters1 = new HashMap<>();
mboxParameters1.put("status", "platinum");

// define parameters for second request
Map<String, Object> mboxParameters2 = new HashMap<>();

@property(nonatomic, strong, nullable) void (^callback)(NSString* __nullable content);
@end

The following method can be used to create an instance of a Target prefetch object that might be used to make a batch request to the configured Target server to prefetch content for mbox locations:

+ (nonnull instancetype) targetRequestObjectWithName: (nonnull NSString*) name
                                    targetParameters: (nullable ACPTargetParameters*) targetParameters
                                      defaultContent: (nonnull NSString*) defaultContent
                                            callback: (nullable void (^) (NSString* __nullable content)) callback;

ACPTargetPrefetchObject

This class contains the name of the Target location/mbox and parameter dictionary for mbox parameters, product parameters, and order parameters that will be used in a prefetch:

@interface ACPTargetPrefetchObject : NSObject

///< The name of the Target location/mbox
@property(nonatomic, strong, nullable) NSString* name;

///target parameters associated with the prefetch object. You can set all other parameters in this object
@property(nonatomic, strong, nullable) ACPTargetParameters* targetParameters;
@end

The following method can be used to create an instance of a Target prefetch object that might be used to make a batch request to the configured Target server to prefetch content for mbox locations:

+ (nonnull instancetype) targetPrefetchObjectWithName: (nonnull NSString*) name
                                     targetParameters: (nullable ACPTargetParameters*) targetParameters;

ACPTargetParameters

This class contains the parameter dictionary for mbox parameters, profile parameters, and ACPTargetOrder object as well as ACPTargetProduct object:

@interface ACPTargetParameters : NSObject

///Dictionary containing key-value pairs of parameters
@property(nonatomic, strong, nullable) NSDictionary<NSString*, NSString*>* parameters;

///Dictionary containing key-value pairs of profile parameters
@property(nonatomic, strong, nullable) NSDictionary<NSString*, NSString*>* profileParameters;

///ACPTargetOrder object
@property(nonatomic, strong, nullable) ACPTargetOrder* order;

///ACPTargetProduct object
@property(nonatomic, strong, nullable) ACPTargetProduct* product;
@end

The following method can be used to create an instance of a Target parameters object that can be used when invoking multiple APIs:

+ (nonnull instancetype) targetParametersWithParameters: (nullable NSDictionary*) parameters
                                      profileParameters: (nullable NSDictionary*) profileParameters
                                                product: (nullable ACPTargetProduct*) product
                                                  order: (nullable ACPTargetOrder*) order;

ACPTargetOrder

This class contains orderId, total and array for purchasedProductIds present in order parameters:

@interface ACPTargetOrder : NSObject

///Order ID
@property(nonatomic, strong, nonnull) NSString* orderId;

///Order total
@property(nonatomic, strong, nullable) NSNumber* total;

///Array of Purchased Product Ids
@property(nonatomic, strong, nullable) NSArray<NSString*>* purchasedProductIds;
@end

The following method can be used to create an instance of a Target order object that can be used when invoking multiple APIs:

+ (nonnull instancetype) targetOrderWithId: (nonnull NSString*) orderId
                                     total: (nullable NSNumber*) total
                       purchasedProductIds: (nullable NSArray <NSString*>*) purchasedProductIds;

ACPTargetProduct

This class contains productId and categoryId present in product parameters:

@interface ACPTargetProduct : NSObject

///Product ID
@property(nonatomic, strong, nullable) NSString* productId;

///Category ID
@property(nonatomic, strong, nullable) NSString* categoryId;
@end

The following method can be used to create an instance of a Target Product object that can be used when invoking multiple APIs:

+ (nonnull instancetype) targetProductWithId: (nonnull NSString*) productId
                                  categoryId: (nullable NSString*) categoryId;
