Adobe Suite Export/Import API

The Schema Registry API allows you to transfer and share XDM resources between sandboxes and IMS Organizations. For any schema, field group, or data type, you can generate an export payload containing the structure of the resource and any dependent resources. This payload can then be used to import the resource into a destination sandbox and IMS Org.

Operations 2

GET /rpc/export/{RESOURCE_ID} Retrieve an export payload #
POST /rpc/import Import a resource #

  title: Schema Registry Export/Import API
  description: "Use the Schema Registry API to access the Schema Library within Adobe Experience Platform. The registry provides a user interface and RESTful API from which all available library resources are accessible.  Programmatically manage all schemas and related Experience Data Model (XDM) resources available to you within Platform. This includes those defined by Adobe, Experience Platform partners, and vendors whose applications you use.\n* **Related documentation**:\n  * [XDM documentation](http://www.adobe.com/go/xdm-home-en)\n\n* **Visualize API calls with Postman (a free, third-party software)**:\n  * [Schema Registry API Postman collection on GitHub](https://github.com/adobe/experience-platform-postman-samples/blob/master/apis/experience-platform/Schema%20Registry%20API.postman_collection.json)\n  * [Video guide for creating the Postman environment](https://video.tv.adobe.com/v/28832)\n  * [Steps for importing environments and collections in Postman](https://learning.getpostman.com/docs/postman/collection_runs/using_environments_in_collection_runs/)\n\n* **API paths**:\n  * PLATFORM Gateway URL: https://<span>platform.adobe.io\n  * Base path for this API: /data/foundation/schemaregistry\n  * Example of a complete path for making a call to \"/stats\": https://<span>platform.adobe.io/data/foundation/schemaregistry/stats\n\n* **Required headers**:\n  * All calls require the headers `Authorization`, `x-gw-ims-org-id`, and `x-api-key`. For more information on how to obtain these values, see the [authentication tutorial](http://www.adobe.com/go/platform-api-authentication-en).\n  * All resources in Experience Platform are isolated to specific virtual sandboxes. All requests to Platform APIs require the header `x-sandbox-name` whose value is the all-lowercase name of the sandbox the operation will take place in (for example, \"prod\"). See the [sandboxes overview](https://adobe.com/go/sandbox-overview-en) for more information.\n  * All GET requests to the Schema Registry require an `Accept` header to determine what data is returned by the system. See the [section on `Accept` headers](https://experienceleague.adobe.com/docs/experience-platform/xdm/api/getting-started.html?lang=en#accept) in the Schema Registry developer guide for more information.\n  * All requests with a payload in the request body (such as POST, PUT, and PATCH calls) must include the header `Content-Type` with a value of `application/json`.\n\n- **API error handling**:\n  * Refer to the Experience Platform API troubleshooting guide for [FAQs](https://experienceleague.adobe.com/docs/experience-platform/landing/troubleshooting.html#faq), [API status codes](https://experienceleague.adobe.com/docs/experience-platform/landing/troubleshooting.html#api-status-codes), and [request header errors](https://experienceleague.adobe.com/docs/experience-platform/landing/troubleshooting.html#request-header-errors)."
