Is there a chance to get data about not just conversions but about qualification conversions (ones on the customer's page) from the API ?

Hi, I´m trying to connect to TAboola APi via oAuth to google sheets, I have de credencials but when I log in in the account, I´m not redirect back to the google sheets. Example of the request: "https://authentication.taboola.com/authentication/login?grant_type=authorization_code&response_type=code&redirect_uri=https%3A%2F%2Fbackstage.taboola.com%2Fbackstage%2Fauthenticate%2Flogin&client_id=xxxxredir=https%3A%2F%2Fscript.google.com%2Fmacros%2Fd%2F12COOkin8nod....." Does this domain script.google.com need to be white listed by Taboola? Best.

Hi, For our requirements, in each account I need the last 24 hours' spend per Publisher. With the Java SDK, I can easily get the spend per site in daily chunks using the **SITE_BREAKDOWN** dimension, however this doesn't support anything finer-grained, for instance if I want to know the spend from midday yesterday until midday today. It doesn't look possible through the Java SDK. I've also looked at calling the Backstage API directly, but even then it looks like I can only perform what I need one site per call using **campaign_hour_breakdown** with a site filter... ``` https://backstage.taboola.com/backstage/api/1.0/<account>/reports/campaign-summary/dimensions/campaign_hour_breakdown?start_date=2021-02-08&end_date=2021-02-09&site=<site name> ``` Our app can then aggregate the values in the response to calculate our spend on a site for the last 24 hours. Given that we are using thousands of Publishers, this could take some time! I'd love to know if there another more performant way of doing this? Cheers, Colin

I'm trying to toggle a campaign item's active status, however it returns with a 400 error: ``` Exception in thread "main" com.taboola.backstage.exceptions.BackstageAPIRequestException: Failed to perform API call with response code [400]. Response payload status [400], message [Unknown field name 'active'], offending field [null], message code [api.action.bad_request.null] at com.taboola.backstage.internal.SynchronousCallAdapterFactory$1.adapt(SynchronousCallAdapterFactory.java:70) at retrofit2.HttpServiceMethod$CallAdapted.adapt(HttpServiceMethod.java:165) at retrofit2.HttpServiceMethod.invoke(HttpServiceMethod.java:146) at retrofit2.Retrofit$1.invoke(Retrofit.java:160) at com.sun.proxy.$Proxy3.updateItem(Unknown Source) at com.taboola.backstage.services.CampaignItemsServiceImpl.updateItem(CampaignItemsServiceImpl.java:87) ``` My code is pretty simple (vars spoofed)... ``` Backstage backstage = Backstage.builder().build(); String accountName = "account123456"; String campaignId = "123456"; String itemId = "987654321"; CampaignItem item = backstage.campaignItemsService().readItem(clientAuth, accountName, campaignId, itemId); logger.info("ID:{} active:{} status:{} name:{}", item.getId(), item.getActive(), item.getStatus(), item.getTitle()); // Update status to opposite CampaignItemOperation operation = CampaignItemOperation.create().setActive(!item.getActive()); CampaignItem updatedItem = backstage.campaignItemsService().updateItem(clientAuth, accountName, campaignId, itemId, operation); ``` The code fails on the last line, with the above exception. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? As you can see, I'm able to retrieve the Campaign Item just not update its active value.

Hi I am starting to work with the api. After fetching the access token I am trying to get all campaigns (as listed here https://developers.taboola.com/backstage-api/reference#fetching-campaigns) but I am getting an empty array result. Please advise.

When duplicating a campaign from an account A to account B after 6pm EST fails with "Start Date cannot be set in the past" error. The POST endpoint with JSON body is attached below : ------------------------------------------------------------------ https://backstage.taboola.com/backstage/api/1.0/{account_A}/campaigns/{campaignId}/duplicate?destination_account={account_B} {'tracking_code': 'parameter=1234', 'branding_text': 'Search', 'spending_limit': 40, 'name': 'this_is_the_campaign_name', 'daily_cap': 20, 'platform_targeting': {'type': 'INCLUDE', 'value': ['DESK']}, 'cpc': 0.5, 'country_targeting': {'type': 'INCLUDE', 'value': ['US']}, 'spending_limit_model': 'MONTHLY', 'marketing_objective': 'DRIVE_WEBSITE_TRAFFIC'} ------------------------------------------------------------------ Any recommendation on how to be able to duplicate without start date error?

We are looking to create campaigns via the API and have run into an issue with the API documentation. https://developers.taboola.com/backstage-api/reference#create-a-campaign We would like to be able to set the advertiser ID for the campaign during the creation process, but there appears to be no field listed for it. The call would be to https://backstage.taboola.com/backstage/api/1.0/account_id/campaigns/ but I suspect we have to use our main account ID in that URL. then later provide the advertiser ID that lives within our account? It would be awesome if the documentation could be updated at some point to mention things like this, as there are a lot of blind spots in what it covers. Under "Campaign Fields" there is advertiser_id but it is listed as read-only. Also, is there an API call that will return all advertiser IDs for an account? Thanks! /Chris

Hi there, where/how can we add the redirect URIs to the whitelist? The account manager asked us to ask you here. Also is it possible to get credentials that are not tied to an advertiser, so that we can properly utilize the code authorization flow? Thank you.

Hello, My name is Moosa Nayeem. I work for TapClick's on the data integration team. I am reaching out regarding an issue reported by one of our mutual clients Recrue Media. The client has provided a set of creds which they have mentioned are valid credentials confirmed by Taboola. However, we see the API call failing for those credentials. API Response: RESPONSE:* error":"invalid_client","error_description":"Bad client credentials"} Thoughts?

Are special characters scrubbed if passed into the placement variable? One of the string we pass into the placement variable contains ! in it. The reporting api endpoint passes that string back without !. Are there are characters that are scrubbed out? If so, why?

Hello all. I have requested via email, several times, access to the API but no one is responding to me. Does anyone know a method I could use in order to get my client_id and client_secret so I can gain access to the API? Thanks in advance.

Hello. A cording to docs hours are in 0-24 range, inclusive, 'from' must be smaller then 'to'. Its bit confusing: 0-0 does not work, so if 0-1 means 'first hour of the day' then 'to' is not inclusive. 0-24 does not work (25 hours if 'to' is inclusive) 0-23 works and so does 1-24 - both means 'whole day' because its 24 hours? Then, if I set 1-23. is 23 hours (not including the first hour of the day)? I think few examples can help because we can't have both hour 0 and hour 24 - at least not on this planet :) Thanks Misha
