Step-by-Step
Create a new data source using Adobe Analytics
To create a data source using Adobe Analytics, you need to accomplish the following tasks:
- Create a new data source.
- Find your API Username and Shared Secret.
- Write your request and enter it into Klipfolio.
- Complete the data source creation process.
Note: This guide assumes that you already have an active Adobe Analytics account.
Step 1: Start the data source creation process
To create a data source using Adobe Analytics, go to the Service Connectors page in Klipfolio and select Adobe Analytics.
Step 2: Find your API Username and Shared Secret
You can find your API Username and Shared Secret in the Web Services section in your Adobe Analytics account.
Step 3: Write your request and enter it into Klipfolio
Adobe Analytics offers instructions on writing your requests in their API Documents.
Here is a sample request to get you started:
{
"reportDescription":{ "reportSuiteID":"replaceme" }
}
'replace me' is your report suite id.
Step 4: Authenticate and complete the data source creation process
Now that you have written your request:
- At Environment, select your closest location or San Jose (Default) from the drop-down menu.
- At API Username, type in your API Username.
- At Shared Secret, type in your Shared Secret.
- At Request Body, paste your written request.
- Click Get data.
- Ensure this is the data you’re looking for. If you’re using Klips, optionally select the checkbox to Model your data. If you’re using PowerMetrics, which requires modelled data sources, you’ll automatically enter the modeller after clicking Continue. Learn more about modelling data sources.
- Click Continue.
- Name, choose refresh settings, and, optionally, share your data source.
- Click Save.
