Work with the Capping API work

The Capping API helps you create, configure and monitor your capping configurations.

This section provides global information on how to work with the API. A detailed API description is available in .

Capping API description

When a configuration is created or updated, a check is automatically performed to guarantee the syntax and the integrity of the payload.
If some problems occur, the operation returns warning or errors to help you correct the configuration.

Endpoint configuration

Here is the basic structure of an endpoint configuration:

{
    "url": "<endpoint URL>",  //wildcards are allowed in the endpoint URL
    "methods": [ "<HTTP method such as GET, POST, >, ...],
    "services": {
        "<service name>": { . //must be "action" or "dataSource"
            "maxHttpConnections": <max connections count to the endpoint (optional)>
            "rating": {
                "maxCallsCount": <max calls to be performed in the period defined by period/timeUnit>,
                "periodInMs": <integer value greater than 0>
            }
        },
        ...
    }
}

Example:

`{
  "url": "https://api.example.org/data/2.5/*",
  "methods": [
    "GET"
  ],
  "services": {
    "dataSource": {
      "rating": {
        "maxCallsCount": 500,
        "periodInMs": 1000
      }
    }
  }
}

Warning and errors

When a canDeploy method is called, the process validates the configuration and returns the validation status identified by its Unique ID, either:

"ok" or "error"

The potential errors are:

The potential warning is:

ERR_ENDPOINTCONFIG_106: capping config: max HTTP connections not defined: no limitation by default

Use-cases

In this section, you will find the five main use-cases that you can perform to manage your capping configuration in Journey Optimizer.

To help you in your testing and configuration, a Postman collection is available .

This Postman Collection has been set up to share the Postman Variable collection generated via > Try it out > Download for Postman, which generates a Postman Environment file with the selected integrations values.

Once downloaded and uploaded into Postman, you need to add three variables: {JO_HOST},{BASE_PATH} and {SANDBOX_NAME}.

In the following section, you will find the Rest API calls ordered list to perform the use-case.

Use-Case n掳1: Creation and deployment of a new capping configuration

Use-Case n掳2: Update and deploy a capping configuration not deployed yet

Use-Case n掳3: Undeploy and delete a deployed capping configuration

Use-Case n掳4: Delete a deployed capping configuration.

In only one API call, you can undeploy and delete the configuration with the use of the forceDelete parameter.

Use-Case n掳5: Update a capping configuration already deployed
