Behavior Attribute Lookup by Customer Id

Summary

The behavior attribute lookup API call returns all behavior attributes (regular and olytics) information for a specified customer, behavior, and date range. This API will return results paginated, up to 50 visits per page. You are able to specify the page number in the API (see below).

General Technical Requirements

The following technical requirements apply to all requests for this API.

Base Request URI

CODE
For Production, use:
https://ows.omeda.com/webservices/rest/brand/{brandAbbreviation}/customer/{customerId}/behavior/{behaviorId}/behaviorattribute/startdate/{mmddyyyy}/enddate/{mmddyyyy}/* 
or with page number:  https://ows.omeda.com/webservices/rest/brand/{brandAbbreviation}/customer/{customerId}/behavior/{behaviorId}/behaviorattribute/startdate/{mmddyyyy}/enddate/{mmddyyyy}/page/{pagenumber}/*
For Testing, use: https://ows.omedastaging.com/webservices/rest/brand/{brandAbbreviation}/customer/{customerId}/behavior/{behaviorId}/behaviorattribute/startdate/{mmddyyyy}/enddate/{mmddyyyy}/*  
or with page number: https://ows.omedastaging.com/webservices/rest/brand/{brandAbbreviation}/customer/{customerId}/behavior/{behaviorId}/behaviorattribute/startdate/{mmddyyyy}/enddate/{mmddyyyy}/page/{pagenumber}/*

brandAbbreviation is the abbreviation of the brand.

customerId is the Omeda Customer Id. (encrypted customer id may also be used).

behaviorId is the Omeda Behavior Id.

startdate is the start of the date range of when a behavior attribute was collected.

enddate is the end of the date range of when a behavior attribute was collected. This cannot exceed greater than 16 days from the startdate for regular behaviors. For Olytics behaviors, the max date range is 3 days.

*Note – formatting for either date value is MMddyyyy or MMddyyyy_HHmm with the hours and minutes (on a 24 hour clock) being optional. For example, January 2, 2023 1:23 PM would be formatted as 01022023_1323.
If you use MMddyyyy without the hours and minutes, then enddate must be prior to the current date. If using MMddyyyy_HHmm (with hours and minutes), you can use current date as the enddate but with a time prior to current time.

HTTP Headers

The HTTP header must contain the following elements:x-omeda-appida unique id provided to you by Omeda to access your data. The request will fail without a valid id.content-typea content type supported by this resource. See Content Types for more details. If omitted, the default content type is application/json.

Content Type

The content type is application/json.JSONapplication/json

JSON is the preferred data exchange format, because it is lightweight and, in most cases, faster to process and utilizes less bandwidth. There are many available open-source JSON libraries available. See json.org for details.
