Does anyone know of a way to create a segment via API? Im trying to automate creating a segment to contain all profiles in the account. There is an endpoint to create a list through the API, but I cant find an endpoint to create a segment.

The reason I ask here is because I have noticed that there there are API endpoints that exist but are not included in the documentation. Possibly because they have been deprecated.

If anyone has any input here it would be much appreciated! Thanks!

Hey @aemery @jimk @DanErezSD @eaglepeakoutdoors, good news! We released an API for creating and updating segments. I’d recommend checking out our Segments API overview to get started.

Excited to hear more about what you build with it!

the issue with a a list that you automatically update is that once you hit 10K plus users it just takes for ever to do any sort of ops.

I don’t see why a json or some SQL like statment can’t define the same or.and conditions as what the website allows.
i’ts actually very programatically friendly and fully defined as is.

Hi @DanErezSD!

I will definitely forward this sentiment to our product team for consideration in future releases!

Best,

Joining my voice to this request if it can help move it forward. We would also have a use case for a create segment API endpoint. Lists will work for now, but it means that we need a dev from the team to build a feature to dynamically add and remove profiles from the list where as segments would allow our marketing team to be self-sufficient in the work. And since the number of segment is too large to me manageable manually, we would really need an API to automate their creation.

Agree Alex. What you describe is what we’re doing now with lists. A create segment API is going to be a much better solution. Can’t wait to roll up our sleeves and dive into this.
