Prerequisites

Complete these prerequisites before you begin the quick start.

You must have an org that has Customer 360 Data Manager provisioned to be able to use the API. The API is not available in free Developer Edition orgs.

In Customer 360 Data Manager:
  • The data sources you want to query must be connected to Customer 360 Data Manager.
  • The entities and attributes you want to query must be mapped in both the data source querying for information and the data source being queried.

In the Salesforce orgs you connect:

  • The integration managed permission set must be enabled and the objects you want to query must allow access.
Become familiar with:
  • SOQL, which is the query language used in the API.
  • JavaScript Object Notation (JSON), which is the data format returned in the query response.
  • EDMX, which is the schema notation returned in the metadata response.
  • OData, which is a REST API open standard implemented by the Data Federation Service API (DFS API).
