Single Transaction and Batch Request Calls

Learn about single and batch requests and how they're used.

The AbiliTec API is an access layer on top of the AbiliTec Identity Graph. When a client submits information to the API, the API attempts to match and lookup that information to the data in the AbiliTec Identity Graph and returns a corresponding response.

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

Single Transaction Calls

Make a single transaction call to easily get data for an individual person, place, or household. For example, you can make a single transaction call to get an individual record in a point of sale transaction.

Batch Request Calls

If your application needs the ability to access significant amounts of data for multiple records and large files, the AbiliTec API also supports batch request calls. Make a batch request call to send a maximum of 1,000 individual requests within a single call. Once all requests have been resolved, a consolidated response is passed back to you.

Batch request calls return group documents containing the document types specified in the call.
