Service endpoint¶

https://api.targetsmart.com/person/listjoiner

Overview¶

As a complement to the ListBuilder service, the ListJoiner service allows a list of VoterBase record identifiers to be enriched with TargetSmart data. A request would provide a list of voterbase_id values. The corresponding JSON response includes the TargetSmart data field values from our platform database. TargetSmart Client Services configures the returned field identifiers for your key. The request is executed synchronously with low latency.

Request Parameters¶

Additional Parameter Details¶

Both parameters require a comma separated list of values (without spaces). For example:

vb.tsmart_first_name,vb.tsmart_last_name

Example in Python:

    fields = ','.join(['vb.tsmart_first_name', 'vb.tsmart_last_name'])

ids

The sorted list of VoterBase IDs cannot exceed 500.

fields

If this optional parameter is not provided, the service returns all fields that are configured for the requesting client (currently based on configured person/data-enhance fields). Otherwise, a subset of those fields can be provided.

JSON Response¶

Responses are JSON objects with the following keys:

• result: A list of JSON objects mapping field names to data values for each input VoterBase ID
• result_count: Number of objects in the result list
• field_count: Number of fields appended for each object (not counting VoterBase ID)

Code Examples¶

🔐 Remember to secure your API key

Never expose your API key in plain text or source control accessible by a third party.

#! /usr/bin/env python3

import os
import requests

api_key = os.environ["TS_API_KEY"]
response = requests.get(
    "https://api.targetsmart.com/person/listjoiner",

        "ids": "OH-000000000001,OH-000000000003",
    },
    headers={"x-api-key": api_key},
)
response.raise_for_status()
print(response.json())

#! /usr/bin/env node

const fetch = require("node-fetch");

const targetSmartApiKey = process.env.TS_API_KEY;

const queryParams = new URLSearchParams({
  fields: "vb.tsmart_last_name,vb.tsmart_first_name",
  ids: "OH-000000000001,OH-000000000003",
});

  "https://api.targetsmart.com/person/listjoiner?" + queryParams.toString(),
  {
    method: "GET",
    headers: {

    },
  }
)
  .then((res) => res.json())
  .then((json) => console.log(json));

#! /usr/bin/env bash
