compile
Updated on Wednesday, 3 April, 2013 - 17:04
Purpose:
Compile CSDL code.
Syntax:
https://api.datasift.com/compile
| Parameter: | Description: |
|---|---|
|
csdl required |
The CSDL code to be compiled. Example values: interaction.content contains "apple" |
All calls to the API must be properly authenticated with a DataSift username and API key.
All the REST API endpoints accept both GET and POST requests for any of the parameters.
Requests to the /compile endpoint might include long strings, depending on the length of the CSDL you are sending. In such situations, you might find POST to be the better option.
Examples:
1. Here's an example of a call to /compile.
https://api.datasift.com/compile
?csdl=interaction.content contains "apple"
DataSift returns this JSON:
| Property: | Description: |
|---|---|
| hash | A unique identifier for this stream. Make sure you store this because you will need it later. |
| dpu | The cost in DPUs to run this stream. Remember that some data sources charge a license cost, which we pass on to you in addition to the DPU cost. |
