Meiro Audience API

The API endpoint is developed to check if a customer entity belongs to a defined segment in Meiro Business Explorer.

API returns 200 responses along with predefined attributes when the customer entity belongs to a defined segment. Attributes of the customer entity are not returned by default.

Customers' attributes to be returned by the successful API call must be defined in the configuration of the WBS container (for safety reasons). Any customer entity attribute might be returned.

Warning: contact the Meiro team/ administrator to set the attributes.

Custom Queries

Meiro Audience API also offers the capability to run custom SQL queries and return their results for both known and unknown customers.

The queries to be run by the successful API call must be defined in the configuration of the WBS container (for safety reasons).

Parameters to these queries are provided via optional URL query parameters - only queries for which all required parameters are provided are executed.

Warning: contact the Meiro team/ administrator to define the custom queries.

Segment IDs

Meiro Audience API allows checking whether a customer belongs to a segment against all available segments, with the possibility to filter the segments by tags.

The number of segments to check against is limited to 10 by default for performance reasons but it might be overridden in the configuration of the WBS container.

Tag names are provided to the segment IDs API endpoint via an optional URL query parameter.

Warning: contact the Meiro team/ administrator to change the number of segments to check against.

FAQ

What protection is in place to prevent scraping of the /wbs endpoint?

There is endpoint rate limiting based on IP addresses. Custom restrictions may be added, but regular users access through devices and frontends, making it impossible to use tokens or credentials as they are considered public and always present in the frontend.

Strict measures are in place to limit the use of identifiers in the API, allowing only anonymous cookies and identifiers, not email or phone numbers.

The information returned in the response is also limited to non-personally identifiable information such as recommended products, last viewed products, and next best offers.

All of the above help to minimize the potential impact of any scraping attempts.
