Individual requests

A valid JSON PDP API request is a simple JSON object that can be forwarded to the Policy Decision Service. Policies can match a decision request by Service, Domain, Action, or other attributes.

The following table describes the values contained in a valid JSON PDP API request.

Field Type Required PingAuthorize Trust Framework type Example value

domain

string

Other Attributes

{"Prospect name": "B. Vo"}
Tip:

While the attributes value is required, you can leave it empty.

The following example shows the correct format of a JSON individual decision request.

{
	"domain": "Sales.Asia Pacific",
	"action": "Retrieve",
	"service": "Mobile.Landing page",
	"identityProvider": "Social Networks.Spacebook",
	"attributes": {
		"Prospect name": "B. Vo"
	}
}

The following image shows how Prospect name is defined in the Policy Administration GUI. In this example, the Prospect name attribute has a Request resolver and a Value Settings type of string.

Screen capture of the Attributes tab of the Trust Framework window in the Policy Editor. The Prospect name attribute is displayed configured as specified.
Note:

The Trust Framework attribute name must match with the key of the attributes map.

For example, if you have an attribute named "UserID", an example value for the "attributes" object would be{"UserID":13848}.

Batch requests

Batch requests consist of an array named "requests" of JSON objects, each of which is a standard JSON PDP API single decision request.

The following example shows the correct format of a JSON batch decision request.

{
    "requests": [
	  {
	      "domain": "Sales.Asia Pacific",
	      "action": "Retrieve",
	      "service": "Mobile.Landing page",
	      "identityProvider": "Social Networks.Spacebook",
	      "attributes": {
    		    "Prospect name": "B. Vo"
	       }
          },
          {
	      "domain": "Sales.EMEA",
	      "action": "Search",
	      "service": "Mobile.Users search",
	      "identityProvider": "Social Networks.Chirper",
	      "attributes": {
    		    "Prospect name": "A. Mann"
	    }
        }
    ]
}
