Edge Network API reference

extensionVersion
Returns the version of the client-side Edge extension.
Android
iOS (AEP 3.x)
Java
Syntax
public static String extensionVersion();
Example
String extensionVersion = Edge.extensionVersion();
Swift
Syntax
static let extensionVersion
Example
let extensionVersion = Edge.extensionVersion
Objective-C
Syntax
+ (nonnull NSString*) extensionVersion;

sendEvent
Sends an Experience event to Adobe Experience Platform Edge Network.
Android
iOS (AEP 3.x)
Java
Syntax
public static void sendEvent(final ExperienceEvent experienceEvent, final EdgeCallback callback);
experienceEvent - the XDM Experience Event to be sent to Adobe Experience Platform Edge Network
completion - optional callback to be invoked when the request is complete, returning the associated EdgeEventHandle(s) received from the Adobe Experience Platform Edge Network. It may be invoked on a different thread.
Example
// create experience event from Map
Map<String, Object> xdmData = new HashMap<>();
xdmData.put("eventType", "SampleXDMEvent");
xdmData.put("sample", "data");
		
ExperienceEvent experienceEvent = new ExperienceEvent.Builder()
	.setXdmSchema(xdmData)
	.build();
// example 1 - send the experience event without handling the Edge Network response
Edge.sendEvent(experienceEvent, null);
// example 2 - send the experience event and handle the Edge Network response onComplete
Edge.sendEvent(experienceEvent, new EdgeCallback() {
  @Override
  public void onComplete(final List<EdgeEventHandle> handles) {
        // handle the Edge Network response 
  }
});
Swift
Syntax
static func sendEvent(experienceEvent: ExperienceEvent, _ completion: (([EdgeEventHandle]) -> Void)? = nil)
experienceEvent - the XDM Experience Event to be sent to Adobe Experience Platform Edge Network
completion - optional callback to be invoked when the request is complete, returning the associated EdgeEventHandle(s) received from the Adobe Experience Platform Edge Network. It may be invoked on a different thread.
Example
//create experience event from dictionary:
var xdmData : [String: Any] = ["eventType" : "SampleXDMEvent",
                              "sample": "data"]
let experienceEvent = ExperienceEvent(xdm: xdmData)
// example 1 - send the experience event without handling the Edge Network response
Edge.sendEvent(experienceEvent: experienceEvent)
// example 2 - send the experience event and handle the Edge Network response onComplete
Edge.sendEvent(experienceEvent: experienceEvent) { (handles: [EdgeEventHandle]) in
            // handle the Edge Network response
        }
Objective-C
Syntax
+ (void) sendExperienceEvent:(AEPExperienceEvent * _Nonnull) completion:^(NSArray<AEPEdgeEventHandle *> * _Nonnull)completion
Example
//create experience event from dictionary:
NSDictionary *xdmData = @{ @"eventType" : @"SampleXDMEvent"};
NSDictionary *data = @{ @"sample" : @"data"};
// example 1 - send the experience event without handling the Edge Network response
[AEPMobileEdge sendExperienceEvent:event completion:nil];
// example 2 - send the experience event and handle the Edge Network response onComplete
[AEPMobileEdge sendExperienceEvent:event completion:^(NSArray<AEPEdgeEventHandle *> * _Nonnull handles) {
  // handle the Edge Network response
}];

import AEPEdge
​
...
MobileCore.registerExtensions([Edge.self, ...], {
  // processing after registration
})
Objective-C
Use the AEPMobileCore API to register the Edge extension.
Syntax
+ (void) registerExtensions: (NSArray<Class*>* _Nonnull) extensions 
                  completion: (void (^ _Nullable)(void)) completion;
Example
@import AEPEdge;
​
[AEPMobileCore registerExtensions:@[AEPMobileEdge.class] completion:nil];...
resetIdentities
Resets current state of the AEP Edge extension and clears previously cached content related to current identity, if any.
See MobileCore.resetIdentities for more details.
Public classes
XDM Schema
The AEP Edge extension provides the Schema and Property interfaces (Android) / XDMSchema protocol (iOS) that can be used to define the classes associated with your XDM schema in Adobe Experience Platform.
Android
iOS (AEP 3.x)
Java
/**
 * The interface that represents an Experience XDM event data schema.
 */
public interface Schema {
​
    /**
     * Returns the version of this schema as defined in the Adobe Experience Platform.
     * @return the version of this schema.
     */
    String getSchemaVersion();
​
    /**
     * Returns the identifier for this schema as defined in the Adobe Experience Platform.
     * The identifier is a URI where this schema is defined.
     * @return the URI identifier for this schema.
     */
    String getSchemaIdentifier();
​
    /**
     * Returns the identifier for this dataset as defined in the Adobe Experience Platform.
     * @return the dataset ID
     */
    String getDatasetIdentifier();
​
    /**
     * Serialize this {@code Schema} object to a map with the same format as its XDM schema.
     * @return the XDM-formatted map of this {@code Schema} object.
     */
    Map<String, Object> serializeToXdm();
}
By implementing the Property interface, you can define complex properties for your XDM Schema. A complex property is defined as not being a primitive type, String, or Date.
public interface Property {
​
    /**
     * Serialize this {@code Property} object to a map with the same format as its XDM schema.
     * @return XDM-formatted map of this {@code Property} object.
     */
    Map<String, Object> serializeToXdm();
}
When defining your custom XDM schema(s), implement these interfaces to ensure that the AEP Edge extension successfully serializes the provided data before sending it to Adobe Experience Platform Edge Network.
Swift
/// An interface representing a Platform XDM Event Data schema.
public protocol XDMSchema: Encodable {
​
    /// Returns the version of this schema as defined in the Adobe Experience Platform.
    /// - Returns: The version of this schema
    var schemaVersion: String { get }
​
    /// Returns the identifier for this schema as defined in the Adobe Experience Platform.
    /// The identifier is a URI where this schema is defined.
    /// - Returns: The URI identifier for this schema
    var schemaIdentifier: String { get }
​
    /// Returns the identifier for this dataset as defined in the Adobe Experience Platform.
    /// This is a system generated identifier for the Dataset the event belongs to.
    /// - Returns: The  identifier as a String for this dataset
    var datasetIdentifier: String { get }
}
EdgeEventHandle
The EdgeEventHandle is a response fragment from Adobe Experience Platform Edge Network for a sent XDM Experience Event. One event can receive none, one or multiple EdgeEventHandle(s) as response.
Android
iOS (AEP 3.x)
Java
/**
 * The {@link EdgeEventHandle} is a response fragment from Adobe Experience Edge Service for a sent XDM Experience Event.
 * One event can receive none, one or multiple {@link EdgeEventHandle}(s) as response.
 */
public class EdgeEventHandle {
  /**
     * @return the payload type or null if not found in the {@link JSONObject} response
     */
  public String getType() {...}
​
  /**
     * @return the event payload values for this {@link EdgeEventHandle} or null if not found in the {@link JSONObject} response
     */
  public List<Map<String, Object>> getPayload() {...}
}
Swift
@objc(AEPEdgeEventHandle)
public class EdgeEventHandle: NSObject, Codable {
    /// Payload type
    @objc public let type: String?
​
    /// Event payload values
    @objc public let payload: [[String: Any]]?
}
Use this class when calling the sendEvent API with EdgeCallback.
ExperienceEvent
Experience Event is the event to be sent to Adobe Experience Platform Edge Network. The XDM data is required for any Experience Event being sent using the Edge extension.
Android
iOS (AEP 3.x)
Java
public final class ExperienceEvent {
​
  public static class Builder {
    ...
​
    public Builder() {
