Transforming data using Management API#
The Management API enables you to programmatically transform and enrich your data through transformations and mapping tables. This section explains how to create and manage data transformations using API endpoints.
Why data transformation matters#
Programmatic data transformation provides key advantages:
Create and manage transformations systematically
Apply consistent data enrichment rules
Configure mapping tables efficiently
Control transformation processes programmatically
Core concepts#
- What is a transformation?
A transformation is a set of instructions that defines how to transform your data. Transformations must be assigned to a datastream in order to transform your data.
- What is a mapping table?
A mapping table is a table that links source values to target values. Mapping tables are used in transformations. For example, you can use a mapping table to map country codes to country names to include this new data in your data extract.
- What is a value table?
A value table is a list of values that you can use for various purposes in Adverity, such as populating mapping tables or configuring data collection settings.
