Adobe Experience Platform Tags is a next-generation tag management solution enabling simplified deployment of marketing technologies. For more information regarding Tags, please visit our product website.
The uploader tool allows extension developers to easily upload their Platform Tags extension to the extension marketplace. It can be used for uploading brand new extension packages or new versions of existing extension packages.
For more information about developing an extension for Tags, please visit our extension development guide.
Warning
The uploader tool now uses Adobe's Oauth Server-to-Server credential format by default.
Legacy support for jwt-auth
credentials will end completely by Adobe in January 2025. You may download and run the legacy version of the uploader here.
Before running the uploader tool, you must first have Node.js installed on your computer.
You will also need to have already created a zip file containing your extension package. The @adobe/reactor-packager tool can be used to create such a zip file.
Finally, you will need to be authorized to upload extensions to Tags. This is done by first creating an integration through Adobe I/O. Please see the Access Tokens documentation for detailed steps on creating an integration and procuring extension management rights.
Once your zip file is ready to upload and you've been granted extension management rights, you can use the uploader tool in either a question-answer format or by passing information through command line arguments.
To use the uploader in a question-answer format, run the uploader tool by executing the following command from the command line within the directory containing your extension package zip file:
npx @adobe/reactor-uploader
The uploader tool will ask for any information necessary to upload the zip file.
To skip any of the questions the uploader would typically ask, you can pass the respective information as command line arguments. An example is as follows:
npx @adobe/reactor-uploader package-myextension-1.0.0.zip --auth.client-id=abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz12345 --auth.client-secret=xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx
The first positional parameter is the path (relative or absolute) to the zip file you wish to upload. In the example, package-myextension-1.0.0.zip
is passed as an argument for this parameter.
The named parameters are as follows:
Your Client ID. You can find this on the overview screen for the integration you have created within the Adobe I/O console.
Client ID can also be provided by setting an environment variable. The environment variable should be named one of the following, depending on which Experience Platform Tags environment will be receiving the extension package:
REACTOR_IO_INTEGRATION_CLIENT_ID_DEVELOPMENT
REACTOR_IO_INTEGRATION_CLIENT_ID_STAGE
-
REACTOR_IO_INTEGRATION_CLIENT_ID
(this is the default, and is used for production environment)
Your Client Secret. You can find this on the overview screen for the integration you have created within the Adobe I/O console.
Client Secret can also be provided by setting an environment variable. The environment variable should be named one of the following, depending on which Experience Platform Tags environment will be receiving the extension package:
REACTOR_IO_INTEGRATION_CLIENT_SECRET_DEVELOPMENT
REACTOR_IO_INTEGRATION_CLIENT_SECRET_STAGE
-
REACTOR_IO_INTEGRATION_CLIENT_SECRET
(this is the default, and is used for production environment)
The environment to which the extension package should be uploaded. Valid options are development
, stage
, production
. Users outside of Adobe don't need to use this flag.
The scopes to bind to the Access Token that is returned. Sane defaults are provided on your behalf within this repository, but you may override them if it is necessary.
The type of authentication method when calling Adobe IO. This defaults to oauth-server-to-server
and is used in conjunction with your Client ID & Client Secret.
Bypass the call to gain an Access Token if you already have the ability to supply it to the command line or through an environment variable. This is useful if you are running this tool in a CI/CD environment. We highly encourage only using an environment variable within a CI/CD environment, as it is more secure than passing it through the command line.
The environment variable should be named one of the following, depending on which Experience Platform Tags environment will be receiving the extension package:
REACTOR_IO_INTEGRATION_ACCESS_TOKEN_DEVELOPMENT
REACTOR_IO_INTEGRATION_ACCESS_TOKEN_STAGE
-
REACTOR_IO_INTEGRATION_ACCESS_TOKEN
(this is the default, and is used for production environment)

The maximum time in seconds to wait for the extension package to be uploaded. If the extension package has not been uploaded within this time, the command will exit with an error. Defaults to 50s.
Logs additional information useful for debugging.

To get started:
- Install node.js.
- Clone the repository.
- After navigating into the project directory, install project dependencies by running
npm install
.
To manually test your changes, first run the following command from the uploader tool directory:
npm link
Then, in a directory where you would like to use the uploader tool, run the following command:
npx @adobe/reactor-uploader
Npx will execute the uploader tool using your locally linked code rather than the code published on the public npm repository.
To run tests a single time, run the following command:
npm run test
To run tests continually while developing, run the following command:
npm run test:watch
