Get snippets

Snippets collection allows retrieving all snippets defined in a specified active transactional message.

Request data format

Request URL parameters:

Element/attribute	Type	Notes
ApiKey	string	Your API key, required for authentication. Required.
Id	int	Active Transactional ID. Required as a part of address (GET parameter). See example below.

Example:

https://api.esv2.com/v2/Api/Snippets/234?apiKey=YOUR_API_KEY_HERE

Response

Response Data element:

Element/attribute	Type	Notes
Snippets	array[complex]	Array of Snippet elements.

Snippet element children:

Element/attribute	Type	Notes
Snippet	string	Snippet name defined in the active transactional message content.

Note 1. In transactional message content there are two ways to define snippet:

using personalization tag *[tr_snippetname]*
using DC function ${Snippet(‘snippetname’)}

Note 2. Searching for snippet definitions will be in email content, so it can take more application resources.
