Welcome to Taboola's Backstage API hub. You'll find comprehensive guides and documentation to help you start working with the Backstage API as quickly as possible, as well as support if you get stuck. Let's jump right in!
This is regarding and endpoint to`DUPLICATE` a campaign - [backstage-api reference](https://developers.taboola.com/backstage-api/reference#duplicate-a-campaign) POST https://backstage.taboola.com/backstage/api/1.0/{advertiser_id}/campaigns/{campaign_id}/duplicate The above is the endpoint I'm using to duplicate a campaign, but attempting to duplicate to a different advertiser_id, I receive 400 BAD REQUEST with the following msg: ``{ "http_status": 400, "message": "Trying to modify a read-only field", "offending_field": "advertiser_id", "message_code": "api.action.bad_request.field_read_only.advertiser_id" }`` Is there a way to duplicate a campaign into a different `advertiser_id` via API? This functionality seems to be available on Taboola dashboard, so any guidance would be appreciated.

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

Dear Support, We are grateful for the privilege of having access to the new Taboola Interface in Testing. My question concerns options within the campaign setup concerning the spending or budget model. In the past you gave the possibility to choose between different spending models, strict, balanced and accelerated. You already mentioned that accelerated isn't used anymore. Nevertheless, the new test layout has different modalities: daily budget, monthly budget and lifetime budget. My Question: How do you make sure that the spending models of a campaign are correct and are there any variables that give back the values of the new budget features from the campaign setup options?

When trying to submit PATCH operation to add 20 publisher blocks (for example), we receive an error response if one publisher is already blocked. That means in order to avoid an error, we need to request the current block list, check it against the new batch of publisher blocks, and only submit unique publishers. In that case, it does not seem helpful to use PATCH. We might as well just GET the blocks and POST the entire list. Am I missing something here? Why would Taboola's practice be to error, instead of simply skipping over duplicates?

I want to ingest the Safety Rating column for a campaign that is available in the UI. Currently I ingest the campaign reports using the Campaign Summary Report API i.e. https://backstage.taboola.com/backstage/api/1.0/account_id/reports/campaign-summary/dimensions/account_id/campaign_breakdown?start_date={start_date}&end_date={end_date} This api does not give information about the `Safey Rating` per campaign. How can I get this data?

Taboola API is sometimes responding with malformed JSON when hitting endpoint: "https://backstage.taboola.com/backstage/api/1.0/{account_id}/campaigns/". JSON response is getting cut off, and we're not able to decode so it is breaking all of our automation. For example, the last debug response I pulled is ending in the middle of a "publisher_targeting" array. This is the very end of a response we got, where you can clearly see it is not a closed array or object, it just ends: "publisher_targeting":{"type":"EXCLUDE","value":[ ... "mp-metropcs-cashew-appnoticias-es","mp-metropcs-cashew-app" This is a log of the raw JSON response, and as I said it works a % of the time so I don't think it is anything on our end. Are you aware of this issue?

When blocking a publisher from the Backstage platform, the change is immediately reflected in the campaign publisher_targeting object via the API. But when updating this object (publisher_targeting) via the API, the change is not reflected in the Backstage platform - even after a page refresh. This is the call we make to block publishers: patch: https://backstage.taboola.com/backstage/api/1.0/[redacted]/campaigns/5602922 Payload: {"patch_operation": "ADD", "publisher_targeting": {"publishers": ["lemaleadmachine-tipsandtricks"]}} Could that be a UI cache on the Backstage platform? Or are we missing something?
