Please help - websites block list.
Hey guys!
I was running some campaigns here in Brazil and I realized that my ads were being displayed in A LOT of websites from other countries/pleaces (USA, Europe and so on...), then I started blocking all of them on account level, so they wouldn't use my budget for nothing.
Yesterday I decided to start announcing products from ClickBank to the american public... the campaign is active and running, but it wasn't flowing really nice, so I realized that there were MORE than 600 websites - mostly from the USA - blocked on account level, something that is really bad for this specific campaign that aims a public from the USA.
Then I tried to delete some of these 600 websites, so they can display my american Ads, but I would like them to stay blocked on my Brazilian ads. And what happened then?
"If you remove this website from the list, it will be unblocked for all your account"... and it would include my campaigns that aims only brazilians.
Omg, what can I do? I would like to remove all the american websites from this specific campaign, but they are blocked on account level and if I remove them, they will be allowed also for my brazilian campaigns (wasting my budget).
How can I solve this? How can I have different website block lists and run differente ads targeting different countries?
Should I add these 600+ websites on "CAMPAIGN block level" and always when I need to announce a new product, I have to duplicate the original campaign to have all the blocklist on campaign level?
Please help, I'm quite confused with this part.
Thanks a lot.

Max placement for decimal numbers to be supported for CPC
We want to know the decimal number allowance to send via API for CPC BID budget, as we are not able to find this information on the API Documentation.
What happens if we send a value like for example : 0.001015
Will the API through an error or are you handling these cases by rounding the numbers?
Thanks

Can't block publishers on some campaigns
I'm trying to block some publisher on a campaign, but even though the API call is successful, the publishers are still not blocked.
This is the request body:
{
"publisher_targeting":{
"type":"EXCLUDE",
"value":[
"investing-placements-24",
"kueez-placements-251",
"9gag-placements-251",
"mobitech-tn-launcher2",
"fronthb",
"rcs-gazzetta",
"mobitech-tn-launcher",
"ume-wangxin-web",
"salesfrontier-elecbean",
"salesfrontier-play2048",
"erowz-coolstreaming",
"lotustechnologies-hirugossip",
"pushpros-health",
"carsandyachts-n",
"omgstudios-doctorreport"
]
}
}
Am I missing something?

Some Content IDs on API Response are null
This is the API Call we are directing to Taboola :
```
curl --location 'https://backstage.taboola.com/backstage/api/1.0/<acc-id>/reports/top-campaign-content/dimensions/item_breakdown?item_breakdown=item&start_date=2023-03-24&end_date=2023-03-24' \
--header 'Authorization: Bearer <token>'
```
From the API response we are receiving performance and other statistics data, but some content ids are sent as null.

Ad cost API endpoint
I'll keep this one separate because these two are separate concerns, I guess.
**Question**: Which endpoint should I be using to find my daily ad spend?
Like I mentioned on the other post, I want to pull how much it cost me to run on Taboola daily, per individual ad, so I'll know my general ad cost against my conversions.
I figured I could pull the campaigns and from there the items under those campaigns. Doesn't seem like [/campaigns](https://developers.taboola.com/backstage-api/reference/get-all-campaigns) gives me the spent of any given day, just the settings for that campaign (cap, monthly limit, etc).
When I try the [/items](https://developers.taboola.com/backstage-api/reference/get-a-campaign-item) I get the same result: I don't see the ad spend.

Endpoint for retrieving campaigns
This is what I'm seeing and I wanted to understand if I'm using the best endpoint for this. We want to pull the campaign data and ad cost from yesterday so I can push the data cost to Wicked Reports.
That's going to be a scheduled task that runs daily.
**Endpoint**: <https://developers.taboola.com/backstage-api/reference/get-all-campaigns>
What I'm seeing right now: <https://share.cleanshot.com/f0QrGhdv>
Not sure why this is empty. Also, I should be able to use start_date and end_date to filter, right?
I also tried using the endpoint below and that gives me more data but then I can't see dates.
**Endpoint**: <https://developers.taboola.com/backstage-api/reference/get-all-campaigns-across-network>
![](https://share.cleanshot.com/f0QrGhdv)
![](https://files.readme.io/fd71741-CleanShot_2023-04-04_at_12.16.152x.png)
So, that's it, I'm trying to pull daily ad cost so we can forward that to other systems. The way we do it today is we pull all the campaigns, we pull the ads for each campaign and then we push that into Wicked.
