The Basics

The AbiliTec API is a secure, real-time interface that provides direct access to AbiliTec, the LiveRamp industry-leading offline identity-matching service.

When you use the AbiliTec API to send personally identifiable information (PII) for a consumer or place, AbiliTec attempts to match that data to existing records in the AbiliTec Identity Graph. The AbiliTec API responds with the AbiliTec identifiers for each matched record, as well as other information about the match such as how the match was performed.

Because AbiliTec resolves PII data across enterprise databases and systems, AbiliTec provides platforms and marketers the ability to update consumer records and deliver an improved customer experience within the guidelines of current privacy laws.

The PII input data that you send can be plaintext or hashed. You can also send an AbiliTec identifier.

The responses are organized into response documents. Response documents are specified in the API call and categorized as: person, place, document, household, entity, group, or batch. For more information, see About Documents.

Response data is organized into Response Data Bundles that are available depending on access rights. You can choose to either receive all data bundles that you have access to, or you can specify which bundles you want to receive. For more information, see About Data Bundles.

AbiliTec API calls can be made as single requests for an individual record or batch requests for multiple records.

Response data is returned in JSON.

The AbiliTec API follows standard REST conventions and is secured using OAuth2.
