1. Request Manifest File List

The Displayble Content Export (DCE) workflow begins with a request for a manifest file list. Values in the list will be in the form of URL paths which will be used in the next step.

Request

Path

GET https://[stg.]api.bazaarvoice.com/dce/v3/data

Path tokens

Name Description
[stg.]

Optional subdomain indicating the request should use the non-production environment. Omit to use production. Learn more at the Reference section.

Headers

Host: [stg.]api.bazaarvoice.com  
X-Bazaarvoice-Passkey: {DCE_PASSKEY}  
X-Bazaarvoice-Signature: {SIGNATURE}  
X-Bazaarvoice-Timestamp: {TIMESTAMP}

Refer to the Reference section for details on the headers and their values.

Access signature values

Replace the {SIGNATURE} token above with the encrypted string generated using the algorithm described in the "Creating the Access Signature" section.

passkey={DCE_PASSKEY}&timestamp={TIMESTAMP}

Replace the tokens above with the appropriate values as described below:

Name Description
{DCE_PASSKEY}

This is the same value communicated with the X-Bazaarvoice-Passkey header.

{TIMESTAMP}

A Unix timestamp in milliseconds. This is the same value communicated by the X-Bazaarvoice-Timestamp header.

Using seconds or any increment other than milliseconds will cause your request to fail

Response

Response will be a JSON object containing URL paths corresponding to available manifests. The following demonstrates a typical response:

{
  "manifests": [
    {
      "version": "v2",
      "fulls": [
        {
          "date": "2017-07-31",
          "path": "/manifests/full/2017-07-31/v2/manifest.json"
        },
        {
          "date": "2017-07-24",
          "path": "/manifests/full/2017-07-24/v2/manifest.json"
        },
        {
          "date": "2017-07-17",
          "path": "/manifests/full/2017-07-17/v2/manifest.json"
        }
      ],
      "incrementals": [
        {
          "date": "2017-07-31",
          "path": "/manifests/incremental/2017-07-31/v2/manifest.json"
        },
        {
          "date": "2017-07-30",
          "path": "/manifests/incremental/2017-07-30/v2/manifest.json"
        },
        {
          "date": "2017-07-28",
          "path": "/manifests/incremental/2017-07-28/v2/manifest.json"
        }
      ]
    }
  ]
}

Full manifests contain all displayable Conversations data and are generated once a week. Use the most recently generated manifest to get a complete snapshot of your Conversations data.

Incremental manifests are generated in response to new and modified content over the previous 24 hour period. The absence of an incremental manifest for a particular period indicates that there is no new or updated content processed during that period.
