API: How Do I Get Started With The EDITED API?
EDITED has two REST APIs: the Query API and the Jobs API. Whichever you use, the first steps are the same:
- Authenticate your request.
- Build a filter set to define the data you want.
- Submit your request and get your results back.
Step 3 is where the two APIs differ:
- Query API: send your filter set to an endpoint and read the matching data straight back in the response. Best for targeted, point-in-time questions.
- Jobs API: submit your filter set as a job, then retrieve the results once it has finished running. Built for large, bulk exports.
