Merkury Enterprise Identity Resolution
ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ Experience Platform provides support for ingesting data from a data partner application. Support for data partners include Merkury Enterprise Identity Resolution.
You can use Merkury by Merkle to recognize more digital visitors - even without the use of cookies - and deliver the relevant and personalized experiences that your customer’s need.
You can utilize the person ID as part of the Merkury source to combine everything that your organization knows about an individual into a single comprehensive profile. These details can include:
- digital behaviors
- buying preferences
- identifying information such as a name, email address, physical address, or device ID.
You can format ingested data as Experience Data Model (XDM) JSON, XDM Parquet, or delimited. Every step of the process is integrated into the sources work
IP address allow list
A list of IP addresses must be added to an allow list prior to working with source connectors. Failing to add your region-specific IP addresses to your allow list may lead to errors or non-performance when using sources. See the IP address allow list page for more information.
Naming constraints for files and directories
The following is a list of constraints you must account for when naming your cloud storage file or directory.
- Directory and file component names cannot exceed 255 characters.
- Directory and file names cannot end with a forward slash (

! ' ( ) ; @ & = + $ , % # [ ] - The following characters are not allowed:
" \ / : | < > * ?. - Illegal URL path characters not allowed. Code points like

Prerequisites
You must meet the following prerequisites before you can start using the Merkury source:
- You must complete your Merkury setup with your Merkury team.
- You must retrieve your credentials (access key, secret key, and bucket name) from your Merkury team.
myBucket/folder/subfolder/subsubfolder/abc.csv may lead you to only access subsubfolder/abc.csv. If you want to access the subfolder, you can specify the bucket parameter as myBucket and the folderPath as folder/subfolder to ensure that file exploration starts at subfolder as opposed to subsubfolder/abc.csv.Next steps
By reading this document, you have completed prerequisite setup needed in order to bring data from your Merkury account to Experience Platform. You can now proceed to the guide on connecting Merkury to Experience Platform using the user interface.
