General Technical Requirements

The following technical requirements apply to all requests for this API.

HTTP Headers

The HTTP header must contain the following elements: x-omeda-appid a unique id provided to you by Omeda to access your data. The request will fail without a valid id.content-typea content type supported by this resource. See Supported Content Types for more details. If omitted, the default content type is application/json.x-omeda-inputida unique id with which to process your request.Contact your Omeda Customer Services Representative to obtain an inputid.

Supported HTTP Methods

1. POST : for creating a new Behavior for many customers

Field Definition

The following tables describe the data elements present on the requests and responses from the API. In addition to the below elements, a SubmissionId element will also be returned with all responses. This is a unique identifier for the web services response. It can be used to cross-reference the response in Omeda’s database.

Customer Elements

An HTTP POST creates a new Behavior for a given customer. See W3C’s POST specs for details.

Request URI

For Production: https://ows.omeda.com/webservices/rest/brand/{brandAbbreviation}/assignbehavior/bulk/*

For Testing: https://ows.omedastaging.com/webservices/rest/brand/{brandAbbreviation}/assignbehavior/bulk/*

Request

POST requests, by their nature, will not have an Id element, since POST is reserved for creating new elements, and the service governs the allocation of ids. There is no need to send in a StatusCode in the request since the service assumes the Behavior you are creating will be active.

Please note that if any errors exist for any of the Customers, no entries will be saved for the request. The entire request must be valid for any of the entries to save.

Example Request

{
  "Customers":[
    {
      "OmedaCustomerId":220002,

          "BehaviorDate":"2012-05-10 15:12:12",
