Metadata Queries

Use metadata queries to retrieve schema details (metadata) about the API data available from our API. There are three metadata queries: one lists the available data views for your account; the second lists the metrics available for a given datasource, and the third lists the dimensions available for a given datasource.

Data views

Use this call to retrieve a list of data views available to you. This API call is one of the few where you do not specify a `dataview`.

Limits

No size limits apply to this call. Each call counts as one API query.

Endpoint

Make the query as follows:

HTTP method	Query Endoint	Base URL
POST	`/metadata/dataviews`	`https://api.mmx.io/`

Headers

Include the following required header (more on authentication):

Key	Value
`Authorization`	`Bearer`
`Content-Type`	`application/json`

Parameters

There are no parameters for this call.

Response

The response will consist of a single array of strings. Each string is the ID of a data view you can query. (See also the schema explorer, which provides this list as a drop-down to explore.)

Example request code

# Run 'gem install rest-client' before running this script.
require 'rest-client'; require 'json'; require 'pp'
url = "https://api.mmx.io/metadata/dataviews"

# Adjust this block for your token, data view and query setup.
token = ENV['TOKEN']  # Replace with your token, or set an environment variable.
body = {}
# (No edits required below here.)

# Prepare and make the request, and respond to any errors.
headers = {Authorization: "Bearer " + token, content_type: :json, accept: :json}
begin
  response = RestClient.post(url, body.to_json, headers)
rescue RestClient::Exception => e
  puts e.response
else
  # Display the successful result.
  pp JSON.load response
end

export TOKEN="your token here"
curl -v \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
  --header "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{}' \
  https://api.mmx.io/metadata/dataviews

# Run 'easy_install requests' before running this script.
import requests, os

# Adjust this block for your token, data view and query setup.
token = os.environ['TOKEN'] # Replace this, or set an environment variable.
url = "https://api.mmx.io/metadata/dataviews"
body = {}

# Prepare and make the request.
headers = {"Authorization": "Bearer " + token}
response = requests.post(url, json=body, headers=headers)

# Respond to the result:
if response.status_code == 200:
  print response.json()
else:
  print response.text
  raise Exception, "API query failed"

// Adjust this block for your token, data view and query setup.
var token = "eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1Qi..."; // Replace this with your token.
var url = "https://api.mmx.io/metadata/dataviews";
var body = {};
// (No edits required below here.)

// Prepare the request.
var request = new XMLHttpRequest();
request.open("POST", url);
request.setRequestHeader('Content-Type', 'application/json');
request.setRequestHeader('Authorization', 'Bearer ' + token);

// Respond to the result:
request.onreadystatechange = function (xhr) {
  if (this.readyState === 4) {
    xhr = this;
    if (xhr.status == 200) {
      response = JSON.parse(xhr.response);
      // Just print out the result for now:
      console.log(response);
    } else {
      console.log(xhr.response);
      throw "API query failed"
    }
  }
};

// Make the request:
request.send(JSON.stringify(body));

Example response

[
  "demo_dsp\/explore_bids",
  "demo_exchange\/explore",
  "demo_exchange\/explore_bids"
]

Metrics

Use this call to retrieve a list of metrics available for a given data view. For each metric, you will get both an ID, and a title suitable for display.

Limits

No size limits apply to this call. Each call counts as one regular API query.

Endpoint

Make the query as follows:

HTTP method	Query Endoint	Base URL
POST	`/metadata/metrics`	`https://api.mmx.io/`

Headers

Include the following required header (more on authentication):

Key	Value
`Authorization`	`Bearer`
`Content-Type`	`application/json`

Parameters

Include the following parameters:

Parameter	Type	Description
`dataView`	String (required)	The data view ID to query

Response

The response will consist of an array of objects: one for each metric available for the given data view. Each object will have an `id` that gives the metric ID to use in other API calls, and a `title` that gives a human-readable title for the metric. This data is also available for exploration in the Schema Explorer.
