Destinations

Destinations receive data from Segment.

In the Segment Public API, you can manipulate Destinations and the connections between Sources and Destinations, as well as list and inspect their relationships.

Migrate from the Config API

Like Segment Public API, Config API allows creating, retrieving, updating and deleting Destination objects. See the table below for some key differences:

Config API Public API
catalogId Not returned
config settings
connectionMode Not returned
createTime Not returned
displayName name
enabled enabled
name See note on names vs IDs in the migration guide
parent sourceId (prefix removed)
updateTime Not returned

To migrate, replace any use of the Config API endpoints with the Segment Public API counterparts, using the field mappings in the table above.
