Why do we can not update Lookalike Audience Targeting for the specified campaign?
We have a problem with updating Lookalike Audience Targeting for the specified campaign (https://developers.taboola.com/backstage-api/reference#update-lookalike-audience-targeting).
Here is an example request:
curl --location --request POST 'https://backstage.taboola.com/backstage/api/1.0/definitionorg-sc/campaigns/4074776/targeting/lookalike_audience' \
--header 'Authorization: bearer {token}' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data-raw '{"collection":[{"collection":[{"rule_id":238699,"similarity_level":5}],"type":"INCLUDE"}]}'
Here is the response:
{
"http_status": 400,
"message": "Collection contains invalid rule ids for targeting: [238699]",
"offending_field": "lookalike_audience_targeting.collection[0].collection"
}
Although if we check 238699 audience, we can see that it belongs to the same ad account as the campaign.
curl --location --request GET 'https://backstage.taboola.com/backstage/api/1.0/definitionorg-sc/universal_pixel/conversion_rule/238699' \
--header 'Authorization: bearer {token}'
What are we doing wrong? Please help us to resolve this problem.

Continuation Budget Types 3
Hi Pete,
yes we want to request the value / update the right variable regardless of what options have been selected in the campaign setup: daily budget / monthly budget / lifetime budget.
Unfortunately due to connectivity problems I was not able to provide a screenshot and this Forum messaging feature eliminates spaces and squeezes the words to the wright.
What I mean:
When within Budget and Bidding of the new UI User Interface for the Campaign Setup the user chooses the budget daily:
the variable for this budget is daily_cap
the daily_ad_delivery_model is STRICT
When the user chooses the budget type monthly:
the variable for this budget is spending_limit
the daily_ad_delivery_model is BALANCED
the spending_limit_model is MONTHLY
When the user chooses the budget type lifetime:
the variable for this budget is spending_limit
the daily_ad_delivery_model is BALANCED
the spending_limit_model is ENTIRE
is that correct?
Many thanks
Btw. I am really not able to answer on the forum on existing threads, I really think you should raise a ticket or look into it. What exactly happens is that the "Post Question" Button is not responding. I am able to perfectly browse the internet otherwise even taboola backstage opens within fractions of a second.
All the best,
Daniel

Block/reactivate Mediums through API
Can I reactivate mediums that I've blocked in the past through the API?

Data Mismatch in conversions.
There is a huge diff in conversions in the API and the UI.

Unable to Block Pubs
Hi Team,
We were told that our pub blocking limit at the account level has been increased from 1500 pubs to 3000 pubs. So, we tried blocking more than 1500 pubs but are getting the following error:
Error Message: You can not target/block more than 1,500 sites.
Please advise?

Random Token Errors
Hi,
We are getting Random token error responses such as the following. Entirely random. Do you know why and how we can mitigate these errors?
<InvalidTokenException><error>invalid_token</error><error_description>Failed to decode token</error_description></InvalidTokenException>

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.
https://developers.taboola.com/backstage-api/reference#dimension-specific-columns
These three don't fit with my current mental model of how Taboola blocking works.
```
EMULATED - Emulated auto-block
NETWORK - Network level block
ADVERTISER_NETWORK - Advertiser network level block
```
Can you provide more color?
Assuming `NETWORK` or `ADVERTISER_NETWORK` spans multiple Taboola accounts, can we have an api access point to mutate these values? We currently have to iterate over all our accounts to perform blocks. During product planning, one of our major risks was the quantity limits at the different blocking levels. An additional Network level block would alleviate some of our current concerns, simplify our processes and reduce api calls.

Bulk update campaigns Daily Cap
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

batch updating campaigns
1- is there a way to update several campaigns in a single request?
2- is there an api limit if I wanted to update > 50 campaigns at once?
