Creating Adobe Analytics DWH Request using POSTMAN

In this article, I am going to describe how to create a Data Warehouse Request using Adobe Analytics API and POSTMAN app.

The basic steps of creating a POSTMAN request for Adobe Analytics API is covered in my earlier article Data Warehouse

https://www.dhirubhai.net/pulse/exploring-adobe-analytics-api-14-postman-partha-sarma/

The basic steps remains the same. Few important points are listed below:

When creating the request, we need to use the API 1.3 in the POST URL instead of API 1.4

When I used the API 1.4 to create an AA Data Warehouse request, I got the following error:

{
    "error": "Not Implemented",
    "error_description": "Please use the 1.3 api version",
    "error_uri": ""
}

Also, in the request body, we need to select JSON(application/json) explicitly.

Also, in the "DataWarehouse.Request Parameters" documentation, Breakdown_List and "Metric_List" parameters are marked as optional. But we all know that without these two parameters, there can be no request.

Once the request is successfully run, we will get the an integer as an return.

If we check the Request Manager tab of Data Warehouse in AA, we will see that our request is successfully created.

I hope this article will help you use the PostMan app to create Adobe Analytics API requests. Please let me know if I have missed anything.
