Unified Customer Data Platform API: Access Customer Profiles, Segments, and Events Across CDPs
Blog post from Unified.to
Unified has introduced a Customer Data Platform (CDP) API that allows users to access customer profiles, audience segments, and events across multiple CDPs with a single interface. This API supports real-time data retrieval directly from the customer's existing CDP without caching or storing end-customer data, ensuring data freshness and compliance with data residency requirements. The integration process is streamlined by normalizing six objects—Profile, Segment, Event, Source, Destination, and Activation—across different platforms like Twilio Segment, Adobe Experience Platform, and mParticle. Each CDP has unique API structures, requiring specific integration builds, and differences in identity models and data handling are addressed through Unified's standardized fields and authorization components. The API also supports webhooks for profile and segment changes, facilitating real-time feature updates without polling. Unified's approach simplifies cross-platform data handling, making it easier for developers to build applications that leverage customer data for AI-driven recommendations and audience targeting without the complexity of managing multiple distinct CDP integrations.
