Target API reference (new)

Get custom visitor IDs
Use this API to get the custom visitor ID for Target.
Android
iOS
getThirdPartyId
The callback is invoked to return the thirdPartyId value, or if no third-party ID is set, null is returned.
Syntax
public static void getThirdPartyId(final AdobeCallback<String> callback)
Example
Target.getThirdPartyId(new AdobeCallback<String>() {                    
    @Override
    public void call(String thirdPartyID) {
                // read target's thirdPartyID
    }
});
getThirdPartyId
Gets the custom visitor ID for Target. The callback will be invoked to return the thirdPartyId value, or if no third-party ID is set, nil is returned.
Syntax  
+ (void) getThirdPartyId: (nonnull void (^) (NSString* __nullable thirdPartyId)) callback;
Examples  
Here are the examples in Objective C and Swift:
Objective C  
[ACPTarget getThirdPartyId:^(NSString *thirdPartyId){
       // read thirdPartyId
}];
Swift  
ACPTarget.getThirdPartyId({thirdPartyID in
       // read thirdPartyId
})
Set custom visitor IDs
Use this API to set custom visitor IDs for Target.
This ID is preserved between app upgrades, is saved and restored during the standard application backup process, and is removed at uninstall or when the reset experience API is used.
Android
iOS
setThirdPartyId
Syntax
public static void setThirdPartyId(final String thirdPartyId)
Example
Target.setThirdPartyId("third-party-id");
setThirdPartyId
Sets the custom visitor ID for Target. This ID is preserved between app upgrades, is saved and restored during the standard application backup process, and is removed at uninstall or when resetExperience API is called.
Syntax  
+ (void) setThirdPartyId: (nullable NSString*) thirdPartyId;
Examples  
Here are some examples in Objective-C and Swift:
Objective-C  
[ACPTarget setThirdPartyId:@"third-party-id"];
Swift
ACPTarget.setThirdPartyId("third-party-id")
Reset user experience
Use this API to reset the user's experience by removing the visitor identifiers. This method also removes previously set third-party and Target IDs from persistent storage.
Android
iOS
resetExperience
Syntax
public static void resetExperience()
Example
Target.resetExperience();
resetExperience
Syntax  
+ (void) resetExperience;
Examples  
Here are some examples in Objective-C and Swift:
Objective-C  
[ACPTarget resetExperience];
Swift  
ACPTarget.resetExperience()
Get Target user identifier
Gets the Target user identifier.
Android
iOS
getTntId
The callback is invoked to return the tntId value 0 if no Target ID is set, and null is returned.
Target returns tntId with a successful call to loadRequests or prefetchContent. Once set in the SDK, this ID is preserved between app upgrades, is saved and restored during the standard application backup process, and is removed at uninstall or when resetExperience API is called.
Syntax
public static void getTntId(final AdobeCallback<String> callback)
Example
Target.getTntId(new AdobeCallback<String>() {
    @Override
    public void call(String value) {
        // read target's tntid
    }
});
getTntId
Gets the Target user identifier. The callback will be invoked to return the tntId value, or if no Target ID is set, nil is returned.
Target returns tntId upon a successful call to loadRequests or prefetchContent. Once set in SDK, this ID is preserved between app upgrades, is saved and restored during the standard application backup process, and is removed at uninstall or when resetExperience API is called.
Syntax
+ (void) getTntId: (nonnull void (^) (NSString* __nullable tntId)) callback;
Examples
Objective-C
[ACPTarget getTntId:^(NSString *tntId){
       // read target's tntId
}];
Swift
ACPTarget.getTntId({tntId in
       // read target's tntId
})
Retrieve Location Content requests
Executes a batch request to the configured Target server for multiple mbox locations. The main difference with loadRequests API is in usage with prefetch APIs. This API only returns the content and does not increase the reporting count. If you are using normal batch requests, then there is no difference with loadRequests API.
Android
iOS
retrieveLocationContent
Sends a batch request to your configured Target server for multiple mbox locations that are specified in the TargetRequest list. Any prefetched content that matches a given mbox location is returned and not included in the batch request to the Target server. Each object in the list contains a callback function, which will be invoked when content is available for its given mbox location.
Syntax
public static void retrieveLocationContent(final List<TargetRequest> targetRequestList,
                                           final TargetParameters parameters)
Example
// define parameters for first request
Map<String, Object> mboxParameters1 = new HashMap<>();
mboxParameters1.put("status", "platinum");
​
// define parameters for second request
Map<String, Object> mboxParameters2 = new HashMap<>();

                                            callback: (nullable void (^) (NSString* __nullable content)) callback;
ACPTargetPrefetchObject
This class contains the name of the Target location/mbox and parameter dictionary for mbox parameters, product parameters, and order parameters that will be used in a prefetch:
@interface ACPTargetPrefetchObject : NSObject
​
///< The name of the Target location/mbox
@property(nonatomic, strong, nullable) NSString* name;
​
///target parameters associated with the prefetch object. You can set all other parameters in this object
@property(nonatomic, strong, nullable) ACPTargetParameters* targetParameters;
@end
The following method can be used to create an instance of a Target prefetch object that might be used to make a batch request to the configured Target server to prefetch content for mbox locations:
+ (nonnull instancetype) targetPrefetchObjectWithName: (nonnull NSString*) name
                                     targetParameters: (nullable ACPTargetParameters*) targetParameters;
ACPTargetParameters
This class contains the parameter dictionary for mbox parameters, profile parameters, and ACPTargetOrder object as well as ACPTargetProduct object:
@interface ACPTargetParameters : NSObject
​
///Dictionary containing key-value pairs of parameters
@property(nonatomic, strong, nullable) NSDictionary<NSString*, NSString*>* parameters;
​
///Dictionary containing key-value pairs of profile parameters
@property(nonatomic, strong, nullable) NSDictionary<NSString*, NSString*>* profileParameters;
​
///ACPTargetOrder object
@property(nonatomic, strong, nullable) ACPTargetOrder* order;
​
///ACPTargetProduct object
@property(nonatomic, strong, nullable) ACPTargetProduct* product;
@end
The following method can be used to create an instance of a Target parameters object that can be used when invoking multiple APIs:
+ (nonnull instancetype) targetParametersWithParameters: (nullable NSDictionary*) parameters
                                      profileParameters: (nullable NSDictionary*) profileParameters
                                                product: (nullable ACPTargetProduct*) product
                                                  order: (nullable ACPTargetOrder*) order;
ACPTargetOrder
This class contains orderId, total and array for purchasedProductIds present in order parameters:
@interface ACPTargetOrder : NSObject
​
///Order ID
@property(nonatomic, strong, nonnull) NSString* orderId;
​
///Order total
@property(nonatomic, strong, nullable) NSNumber* total;
​
///Array of Purchased Product Ids
@property(nonatomic, strong, nullable) NSArray<NSString*>* purchasedProductIds;
@end
The following method can be used to create an instance of a Target order object that can be used when invoking multiple APIs:
+ (nonnull instancetype) targetOrderWithId: (nonnull NSString*) orderId
                                     total: (nullable NSNumber*) total
                       purchasedProductIds: (nullable NSArray <NSString*>*) purchasedProductIds;

@interface ACPTargetProduct : NSObject
​
///Product ID
@property(nonatomic, strong, nullable) NSString* productId;
​
///Category ID
@property(nonatomic, strong, nullable) NSString* categoryId;
@end
The following method can be used to create an instance of a Target Product object that can be used when invoking multiple APIs:
+ (nonnull instancetype) targetProductWithId: (nonnull NSString*) productId
                                  categoryId: (nullable NSString*) categoryId;
