Introduction

Learn how to embed Census Reverse ETL in your customer-facing application so you can focus on your core business.

Overview

This guide will walk you through the available custom branding options for Census Embedded customers.

Custom Branding

Census suggests managing multi-tenancy by using individual workspaces to isolate resources and effectively track usage.

This guide will walk you through using Workspace Variables and Workspace Cloning to implement a template flow.

Template Workspaces

Census provides an in-app usage tracking dashboard to help you monitor and manage each customer's usage of Census.

Workspace Usage Tracking

Learn how to make you and your customers successful using Census.

List Syncs

Create a new sync

Fetch sync

Update certain configurable attributes of a sync. Note that though this endpoint is a `PATCH` and top level attributes respect patch semantics, this does not apply to nested objects. Any nested objects that are changed must be sent in full, including any unchanged values.

Update a sync

Delete a sync

Triggers the sync with the specified ID to start a new sync run.

Trigger a sync run

This endpoint returns details for all active and expired sync management links in the current workspace. Read more on how to use Sync Management links in our [Census Embedded How-to Guides](/embedded/features/sync-management-links/sync-management-links).

List sync management links

Sync Management links allow your customers to seamlessly configure which data to import or export. Read more on how to use Sync Management links in our [Census Embedded How-to Guides](/embedded/features/sync-management-links/sync-management-links).

Create a new sync management link

Retrieve the details of a specific sync management link. Read more on how to use Sync Management links in our [Census Embedded How-to Guides](/embedded/features/sync-management-links/sync-management-links).

Fetch sync management link

Revokes a sync management link so that it can no longer be used. Read more on how to use Sync Management links in our [Census Embedded How-to Guides](/embedded/features/sync-management-links/sync-management-links).

Revoke a sync management link

This link URI is used to edit a sync. Read more on how to use Sync Management links in our [Census Embedded How-to Guides](/embedded/features/sync-management-links/sync-management-links).

Create sync management link to edit a sync

List sync runs

Retrieve the details of a particular sync run

Fetch sync run

Use this endpoint to cancel a sync that is actively running.

Cancel a running sync

Use this endpoint to retrieve a sample of skipped records for a specific sync run.
The endpoint will redirect to a temporary S3 URL where the JSON file contents can be accessed.
Clients should follow the redirect to retrieve the JSON data.

This is initially a 302 redirect to the skipped records file, and if followed ultimately returns a 200 with the JSON data in the response. The schema of the return will vary depending on the fields used in the sync. The sync key will be used to identify a record with an `error_message`. Additional properties will be returned matching the fields used in the sync.

The endpoint may also return a 410 if the skipped records file is no longer available. You can read more about how we handle skipped records and our [policy on expiration: here](https://docs.getcensus.com/basics/security-and-privacy#step-4-report-skipped-records-and-feedback-to-warehouse).


Fetch sample skipped records

Retrieves records synced during a given sync run. A primary_identifier can be specified to fetch information about a single record. Additional filters such as operation and status are available as well.

Fetch Records

Retrieves the count of all records synced during a given sync run. Filters can be applied to get specific counts.

Fetch Records Count

Retrieves a list of URLs to Parquet files containing all records synced during a given sync run, including the operation performed and the status of that operation.

Fetch Records Export

Use this endpoint to list out the types of destination connections that can be created in the current workspace. This is particularly useful for Census Embedded solutions when determining the required values to authorize a new destination connection.

List destination types

Create a new destination type for your given workspace. By default the destination type is created and scoped just to your workspace and not visible to other workspaces or orgs. See [Scoped Destinations](/custom-destinations/scoped-destinations) and [Partner Destinations](/custom-destinations/partner-destinations) for more information on how to create destination types that are visible to other workspaces or orgs.

Create a new destination type

Use this endpoint to fetch the details for a specific types of destination connection that can be created in the current workspace. This is particularly useful for Census Embedded solutions when determining the required values to authorize a new destination connection.

Fetch destination type

Update a specific destination type by service name. You must be an owner of the destination type and it must not be published in order to update. If you wish to update a published destination type please reach out to Census Support.

Update destination type

Publish a destination type to the organization. This will make the destination type available to all workspaces in the organization. You must be an owner of the destination type and it must not be already published. See [Scoped Destinations](/custom-destinations/scoped-destinations) for more details. For information on publishing to all Census customers, see [Partner Destinations](/custom-destinations/partner-destinations).

Publish destination type to organization

Delete a specific destination type by service name. You must be an owner of the destination type and it must not be published in order to delete. If you wish to delete a published destination type please reach out to Census Support.

List destination object types

List destinations

This endpoint can be used to create destinations in Census. Each destination requires a different set of credentials in the request payload. 
The credentials needed to create each type of connection can be found in the `GET /connectors` API for most destinations. For OAuth destinations, see this [Notion doc](https://getcensus.notion.site/Headless-OAuth-Destinations-4b282c9944fe4fa3a5d76d874f0c3d5f).
