Campaign Created Despite 400 Error

We recently attempted to create a campaign via the API . It appears that some targeting was either deprecated or is simply no longer available. We received the error [400] Bad Request: Targeting: [1687024] is not available in the targeted countries due to limited scale.

Reporting API delays?

Are you guys currently experiencing reporting delays with your API? We have several "sub-accounts" within our Taboola account and one of them is not reporting any cost when we query the API for today. Other sub-accounts are returning cost when we query the API for today.

Post Click vs. Pose View Conversion Reporting

We have been using the backstage API for a while, and have been able to extract segmentation of conversion according to post click and post view attribution. These metrics came through the following values in the API response:
cpa_actions_num_from_clicks
cpa_actions_num_from_views

Audience targeting error

We recently got some errors around audience targeting when trying to edit a campaign. We investigated and apparently audience targeting is read only? We need this feature to work, so I wanted to reach out and get some clarity on this.

Why API doesn`t provide a full list of lookalike audiences for a particular marketer?

We are faced with the problem of getting a list of lookalike audiences via API.
Here is the endpoint that returns a list of audiences for a given marketer:
https://backstage.taboola.com/backstage/api/1.0/spine-deforg-sc/universal_pixel/custom_audience_rule
But it doesn't contain the audience we need, namely LAL Page 15
But if we retrieve this audience separately, then API returns the result

Why country and platform filters do not work for by_hour_of_day dimention?

It is stated in the documentation that platform and country filters are available for by_hour_of_day dymention https://developers.taboola.com/backstage-api/reference#campaign-summary-dimensions, but they do not work. API returns success response, but the numbers do not change irrespective of the value of the filter

Is there a way to get hourly statistic for a specific campaign via API?

We need to have an ability to get hourly statistic for specific campaigns. There is such an ability on the UI (https://i.imgur.com/LSP2LyO.png), but we did`t find a way to get this statistic via the API (https://i.imgur.com/R3rEqZS.png).

Block Levels

I'm looking at your Campaign Summary reports (specifically in relation to the platform_breakdown dimension), and I'm trying to understand the potential blocking_level values listed in your documentation.
