Get Custom Segment by ID

This API is used to fetch a custom segment (File and Filter) using its ID.

API Endpoint

API Endpoint
GET https://api-0X.moengage.com/v3/custom-segments/{id:str}

Each customer is hosted on a different data center; you can find your data center number (value of X) by checking the data center and API endpoint mapping page.

Authentication

The API request will be authenticated through Basic Authentication. Basic Authentication sends a Base64-encoded string containing your username and password with every API request. It encodes a 'username:password' string in Base64 and appends the encoded string with 'Basic '. This string is included in the authorization header as shown below:

{"Authorization: Basic Base64_ENCODED_APPKEY_APIKEY=="}

The username and password details can be obtained from the MoEngage Dashboard. We've revamped the settings UI in the Dashboard. If you're using the API for the first time, follow these steps for the revamped and old UIs:

Revamped UI

  1. Navigate to Settings -> Account -> APIs.
  2. Click Generate Key in the Data tile in the API Keys section, and click Save.
  3. Use the Workspace ID as the username and the Data API Key as the password to generate the authentication header.

Old UI

  1. Navigate to Settings -> APIs -> DATA API Settings.
  2. Click Generate Key.
  3. Click Save on the Data APIs settings section. 
  4. Use the DATA API ID as the username and the DATA API KEY as the password to generate the authentication header.
