Add a batch of endpoints to Amazon Pinpoint - Amazon Pinpoint
ExamplesRelated information

Add a batch of endpoints to Amazon Pinpoint

You can add or update multiple endpoints in a single operation by providing the endpoints in batches. Each batch request can include up to 100 endpoint definitions.

If you want to add or update more than 100 endpoints in a single operation, see Import endpoints into Amazon Pinpoint instead.

Examples

The following examples show you how to add two endpoints at once by including the endpoints in a batch request.

AWS CLI

You can use Amazon Pinpoint by running commands with the AWS CLI.

Example Update endpoints batch command

To submit an endpoint batch request, use the update-endpoints-batch command:

$ aws pinpoint update-endpoints-batch \
> --application-id application-id \
> --endpoint-batch-request file://endpoint_batch_request_file.json

Where:

  • application-id is the ID of the Amazon Pinpoint project in which you're adding or updating the endpoints.

  • endpoint_batch_request_file.json is the file path to a local JSON file that contains the input for the --endpoint-batch-request parameter.

Example Endpoint batch request file

The example update-endpoints-batch command uses a JSON file as the argument for the --endpoint-request parameter. This file contains a batch of endpoint definitions like the following:

{
    "Item": [
        {
            "ChannelType": "EMAIL",
            "Address": "richard_roe@example.com",
            "Attributes": {
                "Interests": [
                    "Music",
                    "Books"
                ]
            },
            "Metrics": {
                "music_interest_level": 3.0,
                "books_interest_level": 7.0
            },
            "Id": "example_endpoint_1",
            "User":{
                "UserId": "example_user_1",
                "UserAttributes": {
                    "FirstName": "Richard",
                    "LastName": "Roe"
                }
            }
        },
        {
            "ChannelType": "SMS",
            "Address": "+16145550100",
            "Attributes": {
                "Interests": [
                    "Cooking",
                    "Politics",
                    "Finance"
                ]
            },
            "Metrics": {
                "cooking_interest_level": 5.0,
                "politics_interest_level": 8.0,
                "finance_interest_level": 4.0
            },
            "Id": "example_endpoint_2",
            "User": {
                "UserId": "example_user_2",
                "UserAttributes": {
                    "FirstName": "Mary",
                    "LastName": "Major"
                }
            }
        }
    ]
}

For the attributes that you can use to define a batch of endpoints, see the EndpointBatchRequest schema in the Amazon Pinpoint API Reference.

AWS SDK for Java

You can use the Amazon Pinpoint API in your Java applications by using the client that's provided by the AWS SDK for Java.

Example Code

To submit an endpoint batch request, initialize an EndpointBatchRequest object, and pass it to the updateEndpointsBatch method of the AmazonPinpoint client. The following example populates an EndpointBatchRequest object with two EndpointBatchItem objects:

import software.amazon.awssdk.regions.Region;
import software.amazon.awssdk.services.pinpoint.PinpointClient;
import software.amazon.awssdk.services.pinpoint.model.UpdateEndpointsBatchResponse;

HTTP

You can use Amazon Pinpoint by making HTTP requests directly to the REST API.

Example Put endpoints request

To submit an endpoint batch request, issue a PUT request to the Endpoints resource at the following URI:

/v1/apps/application-id/endpoints

Where application-id is the ID of the Amazon Pinpoint project in which you're adding or updating the endpoints.

In your request, include the required headers, and provide the EndpointBatchRequest JSON as the body:

PUT /v1/apps/application_id/endpoints HTTP/1.1
Host: pinpoint.us-east-1.amazonaws.com
Content-Type: application/json
Accept: application/json

                }
            }
        }
    ]
}

If your request succeeds, you receive a response like the following:

{
    "RequestID": "67e572ed-41d5-11e8-9dc5-db288f3cbb72",
    "Message": "Accepted"
}
