How to force Search and Promote returns JSON format instead of xml?

Question

In our application we send requests to S&P like this:

http://SearchAndPromoteUrl/?parameter1=1&parameter2=2

My current understanding that S&P is external cloud service. sometimes we collect statistic and send to the server. Server analyzes our feed and we can get niformation from this S&P server.

1.Where can I found valid parameters after http://SearchAndPromoteUrl/?

2.Which manipulations should I execute for getting JSON instead of XML(S&P server should returns JSON Now our S&P returns xml).

This article says that it is possible

Answer 1

First I'd suggest using the updated documentation - https://marketing.adobe.com/resources/help/en_US/snp/8.16.0/c_getting_started.html

1. The recommended way to integrate with S&P is to use the search form they provide. This form takes care of the request and parameters for you.

2. Yes, you can use JSON instead of the standard XML response, and it's quite simple: just write your own presentation template using JSON instead of XML (see https://marketing.adobe.com/resources/help/en_US/snp/8.16.0/c_about_templates.html)

Have a nice day.
