I’m trying to get the bid in a campaign level as well as the site status (blocked or not) at the campaign level. Any idea?

Hello! I am looking for a dynamic way of fetching the Network ID from an API or something similar. Would you please advise? Thanks!

Hi, A few questions regarding video ads: 1. Do video ads need to be added to video campaigns or can they be added to usual campaigns? 2. Do video ads show up in the Top Campaign Content Report or do they only show up in the new Video Campaign Summary Report? Thanks in advance

Hi Team We recently tested your CPC macro solution, examining the option of replacing our get API for campaign costs. When we started getting traffic and saving the data, we realized that the level of discrepancy in costs rises, due to what seems to be a major amount of clicks that are generated but terminated in post-click so we're not charged for them. How can we overcome that issue and make CPC parameter reliable?

I am using the following call: https://backstage.taboola.com/backstage/api/1.0/XXXXX/campaigns/XXXXXX/ I have a blacklist on account level and the campaign itself is running on a whitelist. I have seen the following response: "publisher_targeting": { "type": "EXCLUDE", and I have also seen: "publisher_targeting": { "type": "INCLUDE", but never both. Is it possible to return the White and Blaclist that is applied to a specific campaign via the API call and if so what is the recommended method. thanks

Hi, we are trying to update the URL of an ad and for some reason, we are getting the response campaign.inventory.error.server.urlNotAccessable with a message that the URL is not accessible, but we can open it and it is a valid public URL. Can we have some more information about what is the exact reason for the error? This, unfortunately, happens sometimes and it is not a constant thing.

In replication settings the parameter duplicate_settings.include_blocked_publishers is not working. I duplicated a campaign using the duplicate_settings parameter and set include_blocked_publishers as False. The created campaign still has blocked publishers from the original campaign. On another campaign the parameter worked as expected Are there any conditions/factors that affect this parameter ? Please let me know if you need any more information

Hello Taboola Team Starting from today our clients cannot integrate their Taboola accounts using password credentials flow Credentials are correct User receives SMS code But: 1) api responds with 401 2) api doesn't mention anything about SMS 3) I don't see any announcements about this update Please clarify if this is a bug or expected behavior Also please let me know if you need any additional information Thanks, Igor

I am trying to set default platform targeting according to the documentation: https://developers.taboola.com/backstage-api/reference#campaign-platform-targeting "platform_targeting": { "type": "ALL", "value": [] } And the response is: { "http_status": 400, "message": "Cannot set platform_targeting type=ALL with value!=null", "offending_field": "platform_targeting", "message_code": "api.action.bad_request.platform_targeting" } Could you please clarify?

Hi, I am unable to update city targeting.. I am trying to send the following update campaign request: Post: https://backstage.taboola.com/backstage/api/1.0/{account_id}/campaigns/8062238/ Body (Json): { "city_targeting": { "type": "INCLUDE", "value": [ "237319" ] } } and get the following respond: { "http_status": 404, "message": "account", "message_code": "api.action.resource_not_found" } What could be the problem? Thanks! Amir.

Hello, I've been unsuccessfully trying to update the audience targeting of a campaign to make it include a custom audience. The steps I've taken follow: 1) I've successfully created a campaign through the Taboola API and set aside its id. 2) I've successfully created a new conversion through the Taboola UI. To be more specific: - I reached the "Tracking" section - I clicked "New Conversion" - I set the "Type" field as "Event", the "Based on" field as "Custom" and filled all the remaining fields. I managed to set aside its id extracting it from the created conversion page's URL. I know that this is not probably the proper way to accomplish the task, but was just meant as a temporary workaround while waiting for another question (https://developers.taboola.com/backstage-api/discuss/61d5df7ae026df01f3680a81) to be answered. 3) I've tried to update the targeting of the campaign by issuing a POST request to https://backstage.taboola.com/backstage/api/1.0/my_account_id/campaigns/the_campaign_id/targeting/custom_audience with this JSON body: { "collection": [{ "collection": [the_conversion_id], "type": "INCLUDE" }] } The API responds with an error: { "http_status": 400, "message": "Collection contains invalid rule ids for targeting: [1]", "offending_field": "custom_audience_targeting.collection[0].collection", "message_code": "campaign.unip.retargeting.rules.invalid.ids" } Am I doing something wrong? I supposed that creating a new custom conversion through the UI and creating a new custom audience rule through the API (https://developers.taboola.com/backstage-api/reference#create-a-custom-audience-rule) were interchangeable operations. Perhaps this is not the way it works but I could not make it clear reading the documentation and/or using the UI. Thanks is advance for your support.

I'm not sure why, but the impression number from the Top Campaign Content Report does not match the impression number from the Campaign Summary Report. my campaign ID: 10730350 When I call the endpint: /api/1.0/audibene-fr-sc/reports/campaign-summary/dimensions/campaign_breakdown/?start_date=2021-06-01&end_date=2021-06-01 The response is: [ { "campaign": "10730350", "impressions": 277475, ... }, ... ] And when I call this endpoint: /api/1.0/audibene-fr-sc/reports/top-campaign-content/dimensions/item_breakdown/?start_date=2021-06-01&end_date=2021-06-01&campaign=10730350 The response is: [ { "impressions": 142764, ... }, { "impressions": 75512, ... }, { "impressions": 59172, ... }, ] When I aggregate up the item impressions, the result is 277448, which differs from 277475 (the figure I obtained from the previews endpoint), thus I'm not sure why the disparity exists or which number I should consider.

Hello. I've been recently trying to create a conversion rule through the Taboola Backstage API, as specified in the appropriate section of the documentation (https://developers.taboola.com/backstage-api/reference#create-a-conversion-rule). In order to create the rule, I've been issuing a POST request to the following endpoint, https://backstage.taboola.com/backstage/api/1.0/{my_account_id}/universal_pixel/conversion_rule/ with a correctly generated Access Token (I've been using it to call several other API endpoints as well and it worked in those circumstances). My JSON body is: { "event_name": "test_pixel", "display_name": "test_pixel", "include_in_total_conversions": false, "category": "SEARCH", "status": "ACTIVE", "type": "EVENT_BASED", "condition": [], "exclude_from_campaigns": false, "look_back_window": 30 } Even though there seems to be no inconsistency with the documentation (all fields seems to be correctly configured and no required field is missing, apparently), the API responds with an error: { "http_status": 400, "message": "Bad request", "message_code": "api.action.bad_request.null" } No meaningful message is associated with the response and I don't know how to make this work. Thanks in advance for your support.

I create a new post since this post (https://developers.taboola.com/backstage-api/discuss/6194042cca3ee0001e529506 ) was marked as answered. I reached out to my account manager and we sorted out which users and api credentials to use. He said to reach out and ask to give [email protected] access to be able to access the following: params = {'start_date': '2022-01-03', 'end_date': '2022-01-03'} header = {'Authorization': 'Bearer {token}'} URL = https://backstage.taboola.com/backstage/api/1.0/reachmobi-mindyourdollars-slideshow/reports/visit-value/dimensions/by_referral_and_tracking_code?

I'm trying to make a post request in order to submit a new item (ad), but. But when I do so I get a 400 error: http_status: 400, message: "Unknown field name 'url'", message_code: 'api.action.bad_request.null' This is the code: const url = 'https://backstage.taboola.com/backstage/api/1.0/'+accountID+'/campaigns/'+cID+'items/'; const options = { method: 'POST', headers: { Authorization: "Bearer" + await getToken(), Accept: 'application/json', 'Content-Type': 'application/json'}, body: JSON.stringify({ url: landingPage, thumbnail_url: image, title: adTitle }) } const respose = await fetch(url, options);

Hi I am trying to integrate Taboola with Azure Data Factory to build reports in Power BI. I noticed that the access tokens gets expire every 12 hours. If I wanted to automate the pipeline in the Data factory, I need to have a static access token. Could you please advise how can I get the static access token?

I'm trying to get all of the campaigns' data for today including the current bids and current daily budget of each campaign. I made a get request for const url = 'https://backstage.taboola.com/backstage/api/1.0/'+accountID+'/reports/campaign-summary/dimensions/campaign_breakdown?start_date='+dateToday+'&end_date='+dateToday; And although it returns today's campaigns data as I want, I don't get the current bids for each campaign and the current budget of each campaign. Any idea?

what is my username and password? i lost it and i need it urgently

When using the bulk update POST: https://backstage.taboola.com/backstage/api/1.0/XXXX/campaigns/bulk-update is there a way to bulk update daily caps of campaigns, or can that only be done with the individual campaign update POST. thanks
