Automated List Upload

Description

The Automated List Upload interface is used to both CREATE , REPLACE and APPEND lists within the platform. This is a two-part-request, with the META request followed by the DATA request Resource Location .../interface/list_upload_meta.php .../interface/list_upload_data.php Base URL https://response.pure360.com/ HTTP Method POST

Data Parameters : List Upload Meta

Indexes start with the left most column at 0, incrementing by 1 moving right per column across the CSV

key	value	usage
profileName	`"profileName"`	Profile name to manipulate the list in
listName	`"Master+List"`	List name either new, or existing. Unique.
languageCode	`"en_GB.ISO8859-15"`	Language of the list must be enabled on the profile e.g. en_GB.ISO8859-15 (optional with profile default assumed)
transactionType	`"CREATE"`	CREATE \| APPEND \| REPLACE
emailCol	`0`	During a CREATE / REPLACE this value referes to the email column index in the CSV file (optional if mobileCol provided) During an APPEND the email address MUST be in column 0 of the CSV file
mobileCol	`1`	mobile column index (optional if emailCol provided)
responseType	`"EMAIL"`	EMAIL \| HTTP \| REST : How to send the list upload completion notification
responseUri	`"test@test.com"`	The address to send the notification to, either email address or URI. If IGNORE is given as the responseType it is recommended to use a string value such as 'FALSE', 'NULL' or 'NONE' as the value for maintainability purposes
COL_field1	`2`	During a CREATE / REPLACE the field1 is the name to give the custom data field in the contact list, the value is the index of this field both in the CSV and the custom data field index in the contact list. During an APPEND the field1 refers to the existing custom data field name in the contact list, and the value refers to the custom data field index in the contact list. Therefore the field order in the CSV file uploaded (during the data request) MUST be in the order for the APPEND that they were during the CREATE.
token	`"d82c69cd7a21a2c569db960b528d7ae53e6b45748fe2237a4f146fcd80a4fd56"`	Security Token authentication (enabled within the platform via my account -> edit details -> enable -> generate)(optional)

Response

type	code	content : string
Success	200	OK : Integer (Where the integer is the transactionID used in the data upload
Error	200	Error : Error Message

Data Parameters : List Upload Data

key	value	usage
profileName	`"profileName"`	Profile name to manipulate the list in
transactionId	`454565`	The transactionId returned from list_upload_meta
file	`"@//usr/FilePath/file.csv"`	valid CSV file (list) to upload

Response

type	code	content : string
Success	200	OK : Integer (Where the integer is the transactionID used in the data upload
Error	200	Error : Error Message

Example - Curl Sending Meta Data

curl
--data "profileName=TestProfile&listName=NewList&transactionType=CREATE&emailCol=0&responseType=EMAIL&responseUri=test@pure360.com&COL_first_name=1" 'https://response.pure360.com/interface/list_upload_meta.php'

Send a request to the list upload meta processor, in this case adding the NewList to the profile TestProfile, and CREATEing it, the first column of the CSV that will get sent across contains the email address and the next column contains the first name. When the list upload process completes, a notification EMAIL is sent to test@pure360.com. If this has processed correctly the response should be OK : XXXX where XXXX is a transactionId.

Make sure you copy or save the transactionId from the Meta post; You will not get issued another one until you use the current open one or wait 12 hours for it to be cleared down. If you are in a pickle ask your account manager, they might be able to get it reset earlier.

Example - Curl Sending List Data

curl
--form "profileName=TestProfile"
--form "transactionId=XXXX"
--form "file=@//usr/FilePath/file.csv"
'https://response.pure360.com/interface/list_upload_data.php'

Send a request to the list upload data processor, in this case sending the file in usr/FilePath/file.csv to profile TestProfile and reference the container for this as the XXXX transaction ID returned from the meta request.

APPEND

When using APPEND there are some extra requirements you need to comply with to ensure your fields map accurately

You must provide a COL_ for every single field in the target list.
Each COL_ must appear in the post in the same order as they do in the list.
Each COL_ must have an index number
The index number does not have to match a column from the csv file
If the index number does not exist, then that column will not have any values appened.

The emailCol does not have to be 0, it can be in any column number.

Example APPENDs

Example 1: csv structure matches list

Target list csv Field mapping in post

Target list	csv	Field mapping in post
Email (system field) firstname lastname postcode	`two@pure360.com,Davey,Jones,DJ1 2PR three@pure360.com,Mikey,Moose,MM1 8PL` File has 4 columns: email, first name, last name, postcode; which is the same columns and order as the target list	`emailCol=0 COL_firstname=1 COL_lastname=2 COL_postcode=3`

Example curls

Open Postman, import as 'raw text' and save for an easy test suite.

Make sure you copy the transactionId from the Meta post. You will not get issued another one until you use the current open one or wait 12 hours for it to be cleared down. If you are in a pickle ask your account manager, they might be able to get it reset earlier.
