What is required for a dataset to ingest data through the APIs?

Ingesting data through APIs into a dataset in Adobe Experience Platform requires a schema. A schema defines the structure of the dataset by outlining the fields and their corresponding data types. When you set up a dataset for ingestion, the schema acts as a blueprint that ensures the incoming data aligns with the defined structure.

While batch processes can facilitate data transfer, they do not determine the format or requirements for the dataset itself. A calculated field and a data model, although relevant in other contexts within Adobe Experience Platform, are not mandatory requirements for successfully ingesting data via APIs. The schema's role is crucial as it enables the ingestion process to interpret the incoming data correctly and store it in an organized manner. Thus, having a schema is a fundamental requirement when working with datasets in Adobe Experience Platform for API ingestion.
