Hi Friends,
What is json and why is it used in Anaplan?
Also what is Apiary?
@Sravan_Kumar
All great questions Sravan!
JSON stands for "Java Script Object Notation", its a special notation that allows you to pair the key and value together, thus avoiding the issues with flat tables. Example: {name: "Sravan", age: 28, city: "New York City"}; JSON also allows you to send data that's hierarchical. JSON is only used with the Anaplan API when it sends messages about the API call you make. Like whether the action was successful or not. For transaction data, Anaplan sends transaction data as a CSV format (flat).
An Apiary is where bees are kept, but sometimes, in IT, the term Apiary is used to describe the API library, or the dictionary of all the APIs you can call. So in this case the Anaplan Apiary for version 1.3 would contain all the RESTful APIs and how to use them. You can find the 1.3 Apiary here.
Keep the questions coming!

We've been building a tool called aplan4sheets and we'd genuinely like input from this community — both on what we've built so far and on what we should prioritize next. The problem we set out to solve: Anaplan's Excel add-in is Windows-centric, and there's no real native way to pivot Anaplan data in Google Sheets. We…
A while back, I shared a pattern for extracting and reporting on Anaplan audit data using a Python project hosted on GitHub. I wrote that during my time on the Operational Excellence Group (OEG) at Anaplan. The Python solution still works, and plenty of teams are running it today. The problem it solves hasn't changed:…
We are looking for Anaplan end-users to provide feedback on their experiences with the Excel add-in. Interested individuals will respond to this 5-minute survey to help us understand personal needs and behavior when using the add-in. The feedback provided by survey takers is essential to the roadmap of Anaplan's products.…
