Hello Stephen,

Here is the endpoint sent to Taboola.

Kind regards

Steve

Hi Steve,

Can you provide the entire endpoint you are calling? For example, https://backstage.taboola.com/backstage/api/1.0/{account_id}/campaigns/{campaign_id}

Thanks,

Stephen

Hello Stephen,

So it would be this one:

"https://backstage.taboola.com/backstage/api/1.0/" . $account . "/campaigns/"

Kind regards

Steve

Can you provide the account and campaign ID you are using? If you'd prefer, you can copy the details into a private Google Doc and post a link here. Once we have the link, we will send you a request for access.

Hello Stephen

There is no Campaign Id as I am creating a new one using this endpoint:

https://developers.taboola.com/backstage-api/reference/create-a-campaign

So Taboola is assigning a new ID each time, and no Campaign ID is used in the API call. We have over 100 accounts but an example of one I tried is:

"trendscatchers-healthcatchersfr-sc"

Kind regards

Steve

Hey Steve,

I am not seeing anything wrong with your call on my end. I ran it as a test and at first I encountered a similar 400 reply after directly copy and pasting your request body. After formatting it properly as a JSON object, it actually ran successfully and created the campaign. I paused the campaign for now. If you are still encountering the 400 error, you may want to try to format the body properly as a JSON object

Here is the full call:

curl --location --request POST 'https://backstage.taboola.com/backstage/api/1.0/trendscatchers-healthcatchersfr-sc/campaigns/'
--header 'Authorization: Bearer CYAXAAAAAAAAEVFaAwAAAAAAGAEgACkTYN3BhgEAADooNTZlYzc0Y2NiNDhhODFjYzRhZGVjNDA0MDExNzhiOTQ3ODllMzcyYUAC::9af47a::21bdef'

Hi Stephen,
