Deliver a file match job

POST
/v1/match/{id}/deliveries
curl --request POST \
--url https://dev-api.infiniteaudience.ai/v1/match/example/deliveries \
--header 'Authorization: Bearer <token>' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data '{ "template_id": "standard_iag" }'

Convenience wrapper around POST /v1/audiences/{id}/deliveries for file-based match jobs. Always delivers to the download destination — the enriched file is exported to a time-limited signed URL. Omits DSP-only destinations (LiveRamp, Narrative) and their associated parameters.

Workflow (after POST /v1/match/file):

  1. Upload your file to the upload_url returned by POST /v1/match/file. This upload is what triggers identity resolution to begin — not this endpoint.

  2. (Recommended) POST /v1/match/{segment_id}/analyze — preview column mapping. Check unmapped_columns and confidence values. If mappings look wrong, rename columns in your file and re-upload before triggering delivery.

  3. Poll GET /v1/match/{match_id} until matching_status is completed (or use a segment.ready webhook). Calling this endpoint before resolution finishes returns 422 AUDIENCE_PENDING.

  4. POST /v1/match/{match_id}/deliveries (this endpoint) — export the already- resolved match to a signed download URL. Optionally supply template_id or field_list to choose which enriched attributes to include in the output — if neither is given, the Standard IAG attribute set is used.

  5. Poll GET /v1/match/{match_id}/deliveries for status — it takes the match id directly, needs no audience id, and re-signs download_urls on every read. (The audience-scoped GET /v1/audiences/{audience_id}/deliveries/{delivery_id} also works but requires the audience id, which this wrapper is designed to let you avoid.) When status: completed, download_urls (array of signed URLs) is returned.

All billing, dedup, reservation, and usage-outbox logic is handled identically to POST /v1/audiences/{id}/deliveries. Re-running the exact same (match_id × version × template) is always free. Requires ‘purchase’ scope.

id
required
string

The match_id returned by POST /v1/match/file.

Media typeapplication/json
object
include_unmatched

Include rows that did not resolve to a real graph match in the output file — these appear with null enrichment attributes and, in the exported iag_person_id column, a best-effort id deterministically derived from the row’s own identity signals (or null if none qualified) rather than a real platform match. Set to false to receive only matched records. Defaults to true. Every exported row (matched or not) also carries a row_id column matching your original upload, for correlating a delivered row back to its source input row regardless of match status. Matched rows additionally carry match_level (I/H/A/S/D), match_type (e.g. graph_name_email_match, vector_name_address_match, spatial_match), and match_confidence (0–1) — all null (not derived) on unmatched rows.

boolean
default: true
template_id

Enrichment template ID. Only standard_iag is valid (see templates[] in GET /v1/catalog/fields). Mutually exclusive with field_list. If neither is provided, the Standard IAG attribute set (all attributes with product_usage containing audience) is used.

string | null
field_list

Explicit list of attribute names to append — every attribute must be a valid audience attribute. Use GET /v1/catalog/fields to browse available attributes. Mutually exclusive with template_id. If neither is provided, the Standard IAG attribute set is used. Individual-level attributes come back null for a row whose match_level doesn’t qualify for individual-level data — this is expected, not an error. If iag_household_id is requested and available for a row, it is exported in the same org-scoped, non-reversible format as iag_person_id.

Array<string> | null
webhook_url

Optional HTTPS URL to receive delivery.completed or delivery.failed events for this delivery. Overrides the org-level webhook URL for this request only; if omitted, the org-configured URL is used as the fallback. If a signing secret is set in Settings, the dispatch includes X-CF-Signature: sha256=<hmac-hex> regardless of which URL is used. See the Webhooks tag for payload shapes and signing verification guidance.

string format: uri
output_format

Output file format. Omit to auto-detect from the uploaded file’s format (avro → avro, csv → csv, json → json, jsonl → jsonl). Avro exports preserve native column types including REPEATED/array attributes. CSV is the default when format cannot be determined.

string | null
Allowed values: csv avro json jsonl
output_compression

Explicit output artifact compression, independent of the uploaded file. gzip is supported for csv/json/jsonl. Avro uses native DEFLATE and rejects outer gzip.

string
default: none
Allowed values: none gzip
Examples

Deliver using the Standard IAG template

{
"template_id": "standard_iag"

Delivery initiated — or a free re-delivery if this (match_id × version × template) was already completed.

cost
required

Conservative USD estimate for usage accepted for billing; not a finalized invoice total.

number
estimated_cost

Pre-flight safety ceiling for a still-processing delivery. It is released into the final local cost estimate once resolution/export completes; the finalized invoice remains authoritative.

number
already_delivered

true when this exact audience content, resolved field selection, unmatched-row policy, and destination were already delivered — cost is 0 and the existing delivery record is returned.

string
output_format

Output file format. Present on download deliveries. Avro exports preserve native BigQuery column types (including REPEATED/array columns) rather than flattening everything to strings. Read endpoints normalize legacy records; an immediate DSP-create response may omit this field.

string
Allowed values: csv avro json jsonl
output_compression

Explicit outer artifact compression, normalized to none for legacy records on read and possibly omitted by an immediate DSP-create response. It never inherits input compression. Avro uses native DEFLATE and therefore reports none here rather than outer gzip.

string
Allowed values: none gzip
output_bytes

Exact sum of stored object sizes across every output part. Null until completion or when no downloadable artifact is produced.

integer | null
download_urls

Signed GCS download URLs for every completed download artifact part, sorted deterministically. Always an array and may contain multiple BigQuery export shards for any format. Signed URLs expire after 24 hours — call GET /v1/audiences/{id}/deliveries/{did} to regenerate fresh URLs at any time.

Array<string> | null
output_record_count

Actual row count in the exported file. Set at completion for matched audiences only (where the count is unknown until the TVF runs). For filter, similarity, and propensity audiences this equals the audience’s record_count.

integer | null
failure_reason
string | null
matched_segment_id

ID of the matched (file-match) segment resolved from the delivered audience’s composition at delivery creation. Populated only when the audience includes a matched segment; null for filter, similarity, and propensity deliveries and for deliveries created before this attribute existed.

string | null
source_job_id

The matched segment’s originating file-match job ID — links the delivery back to the file-match event that produced its source data. Populated only when the delivered audience resolves a matched segment that carries a source job; null otherwise (including deliveries created before this attribute existed).

string | null

Missing or invalid Bearer token. Obtain one via POST /v1/auth/token. When a token was supplied but rejected, code distinguishes TOKEN_EXPIRED (the token’s lifetime has passed — request a new one via POST /v1/auth/token and retry) from TOKEN_INVALID (malformed or revoked — re-authenticate).

The request cannot proceed on billing grounds. BILLING_INSUFFICIENT_BALANCE applies only to prepay accounts and includes required, available, and shortfall in USD. BILLING_POSTPAY_CEILING_EXCEEDED applies to an account ceiling; BILLING_CONSUMER_POSTPAY_CEILING_EXCEEDED applies to an agency child’s routed ceiling. Both ceiling responses include projected accrued and configured ceiling in USD.
