Geo Polygon Segment service

  • Artikel

Note

This service is in Alpha. This feature is subject to change without notice and is only available to select clients. If you would like to participate in the Alpha test, please contact your account manager.

The Geo Polygon Segment Service lets you create, configure, and export geo polygon segments. A geo polygon segment is a list of user locations specified by Well-known text (WKT) polygon coordinates. Well-known text (WKT) is a text markup language for representing vector geometry objects on a map using coordinates. After you create a geo polygon segment, you can use the segment automatically associated with it for geographical targeting of multiple user locations. The Geo Polygon Segment Service lets you to upload CSV files of geo polygon WKT into a geo segment. You can use the same geo segment for targeting at the line item level.

Warning

Geo Polygon Segment Service is based on Well-known text (WKT) polygon coordinates. This indicates that the geo polygons must be uploaded in longitude and latitude (long, lat) format instead of latitude and longitude (lat, long) format.

Process flow

To create a segment with geo polygons, follow below steps:

  1. Create a shell segment. To create the shell segment, make a POST call to the /geo-polygon-segment endpoint.
  2. Upload polygons to the shell segment. You can create a CSV file with polygons in it and make a POST call to the /geo-polygon-segment/{segmentID}/upload-polygon endpoint.
  3. To verify if the upload was successful, check the job status through the /geo-segment-processor/job-status endpoint after submitting an upload request for the polygons.

JSON fields

Create new geo polygon segment JSON

Field Type Description
code string User-defined code for calling the geo polygon segment. For example, "GEO123"
description string Description for this geo polygon segment
short_name string Short name used to describe the geo polygon segment

Required On: POST
regional_centers array of objects ID or code of the region in which the geo polygon segment is available.
Possible values:
- ID: 1, 2 or 3
- code: "americas", "emea", "apac"

CSV file format

The CSV file has the column names as Polygon and Name and they hold the values for the defined geo-polygons.

Note

Column names are case-sensitive and without any space. You must specify the column names in your CSV file.

Example

add-polygons.csv
Polygon,Name
"POLYGON((-73.79619781688602 40.926119268030504,-73.96923248485477 40.95931402310335,-74.09008209422977

Note

The polygons must be specified inside quote marks, as required by the CSV file standard.

Once you upload the CSV file successfully, the API sends response with below fields:

  • geo_segment_polygon_id: The auto-generated ID of the geo polygon as stored in Xandr's system.
  • name: The name of the geo-polygon.
  • apd_id: The job ID of the upload. You must keep track of this in case you want to track down the status of the upload.

Note

You need to keep record of the upload responses as it will be necessary for troubleshooting.

Check job status

To check the status of any job, use the job_id provided in the response to make a request to the job status endpoint.

Endpoint

GET /geo-segment-processor/job-status

Parameters

Field Description
jobId The ID of the job.
geoSegmentId The geo segment ID.
segmentId The segment ID.
numJobsToRetrieve Number of jobs to retrieve.

To monitor the progress of your upload or delete requests, you can query the status of a job using specific parameters.

Field Type Description
job_state string Indicates the current state of the overall job. The possible values of job states are as follows:
- created - The job has been scheduled, but not yet run.
active - A job related to the overall job is currently being processed.
cancelled - The job has been cancelled either manually or due to an error.
retry - The job may be retried once if some internal request has failed.
completed - The job has completed successfully.
expired - The job has not been picked up for processing after 12 hours, so it has expired and will not be processed.
failed - An error occurred at some point, and the job failed.
in-progress - The overall job is being processed, with sub-jobs being scheduled and processed to continuously check for the APD job to complete before the job queue job can complete.
job_id number The id of the overall job.
workflow string The workflow associated with the job. The following workflows are associated with the job.
- DELETE_GEOPOLYGON_SEGMENT
- DELETE_GEO_SEGMENT
- UPLOAD_GEO_SEGMENT_POLYGON
- DELETE_GEO_SEGMENT_POLYGON
- CREATE_GEO_SEGMENT_FEATURE
- DELETE_GEO_SEGMENT_FEATURE
geo_segment_id number The geo segment id associated with the request.
Note: Typically, an internal id. Though this ID is used for geo radius related requests.
segment_id string The segment id associated with the request.
Note: This ID is used for geo polygon related requests.
job_results object An object containing information about the job, updated once the job begins processing.
apdJobStatus - Contains the current results of the APD job by the job ID.
apdJobIds - Contains the job ID for each region.
initialJobRecordId - The ID of the job. This should match the jobId parameter specified in this request.
jobCount - The number of sub-jobs that make up the overall job.
jobErrors - Contains any errors related to why the job failed, was canceled, or was retried.
job_name string Specifies the name of the job queue. There are two job types:
- apd status check
- apd job complete.
It also indicates the environment from which the request originated (development, staging, or production).
- bff_apd_status_check_queue_<env>
- bff_apd_job_complete_queue_<env>
Note: <env> can be dev, staging, or prod.
created_on string Date/time the job was created.
num_records number Number of polygons or features associated with the job.
For example, if you just made a request to upload 500 polygons, num_records will be 500.

Important points to note

  • The Geo Polygon Segment Service does not currently accept geo polygon definitions with holes (In geometry, a polygon with holes is an area-connected planar polygon with one external boundary and one or more interior boundaries). If a polygon definition contains a hole, the service will ignore the hole.
  • The maximum number of polygon definitions that can be hosted in a segment is 50,000.
  • When the uploading of the CSV file is successful, the service returns apd_id and geo_segment_polygon_id in response. You need to save them for any troubleshooting in future.
  • If uploaded file has some issues such as invalid formatting, missing quotes, trailing spaces, segment already having 50000 polygon definitions etc., then there would not be any geo_segment_polygon_id in the response. If the upload response contains only apd_id, that signifies that file was rejected due to any of the reasons mentioned above. In such cases, it is recommended to rectify the issue and attempt the upload again.
  • Multi-polygons are not supported currently. Please split multi-polygon definitions into unique, individual, polygon definitions and upload only those.
  • A geo polygon segment can be connected to a maximum of one regional centre.
