Personalization rules REST API content details

The following topic provides details about DX Personalization rules REST API content.

Visibility rule contents

  • visibility - Field to add show or hide if the "conditions" are met.
  • otherwise - Field to add show or hide if the "conditions" are met.
  • caseInsensitive - Boolean indication that the string comparisons in the rule are case insensitive.
  • conditions - List of conditions to meet the visibility rule criteria. More details are provided below.

Possible examples for conditions with Date properties:

  1. Example: The condition with Date property current Date.day is 25 is shown

    current Date.day is 25 request condition

    • In this example, the condition with Date property current Date.day is 25 is shown.
    • The operator given is is and gets a single parameter in the value key. Reference response structure:
    {
  "and": [
    {
      "operator": "is",
      "attributeName": "day",
      "attributeType": "Date",
      "value": [
        25
      ]
    }
  ]
}

    For the condition request, which is shown in the Date property current Date.day is 25 screenshot above, the whole response structure body reference with response structure for Visibility Rule type is:

Possible examples of conditions where visibility is an attribute, and it says show few conditions should meet:

  1. Example: The condition current Browser Capability.Accept Language is 1 is shown

    show current Browser Capability.Accept Language is 1

    • In this example, the condition current Browser Capability.Accept Language is 1 is shown.
    • The operator given is is and gets a single parameter in the value key. Reference response structure:
    {
      "and": [
        {
          "operator": "is",
          "attributeName": "AcceptLanguage",
          "attributeType": "BrowserCapability",
          "value": [
            1
          ]
        }
      ]
    }

  2. Example: The condition of like current Browser Capability.Accept Language is between 1 and 5 is defined

show current Browser Capability.Accept Language is between 1 and 5

-   This example shows results when the condition of like `current Browser Capability.Accept Language is between 1 and 5` is defined.
-   The operator is defined as *is between* and returns multiple parameters in the **value** key.
**Reference response structure:**

```
{
  "and": [
    {
      "operator": "is between",

Profiler rule contents

  • profiles - A profiler rule will group a user into one or more profiles. These profiles may be used within the context of a web page or within a binding rule to identify which content to return.
  • profileName - Field to indicate name of the profile to be shown when the respective conditions are met.
  • conditions - List of conditions to meet for that profile selection criteria. More details are provided in the below section.
  • otherwiseProfile - Fallback profile name if none of the conditions for other profiles are not met.
  • caseInsensitive - Boolean indication that the string comparisons in the rule are case insensitive.
  • stopFirstProfile - Boolean indication that the rule returns the first matching profile for the current user.

Each object in the "profiles" array contains the following attributes:

  • profileName - Profile name to be selected if the conditions are met.
  • "conditions - List of conditions to meet the visibility rule criteria. More details are provided below:

Possible example for profiles with conditions having Date properties:
