Welcome to the Taboola Backstage API documentation. You'll find comprehensive guides and examples to help you get started with Taboola Backstage API quickly.
Has anyone tried this and can provide information and recommendations? Which R package did you use? How did you go about it? I tried the httr package and used the code below: url = 'https://ads.taboola.com//backstage/api/1.0/[account_id]/campaigns/' r <- GET(url = 'https://ads.taboola.com//backstage/oauth/token', config = list(username, password, type = "basic"))) data <- r$content The account ID was not alphabetical, it was numerical. and the username and password are for the ad campaigns account. I did not get any media fields, even though the response showed 200 - which confirmed some sort of connection was made.

Greetings, We've worked with the backstage API a bit before, but for a new project, we had a sandbox environment set up for testing purposes. We are having difficulty getting our API call to work, and the errors that are returning are not at all helpful. I really wish the API responded with more information to help troubleshoot. If we use the numerical account ID provide by our account manager we get the following error: {http_status: 403, message: "Requested action is forbiddenβ} If we use the alpha string ID ie. "Your Account Sandbox Name" with letters and spaces we get the following error: "Bad Request" Our payload follows the JSON structure outlined here: https://developers.taboola.com/backstage-api/reference#creating-a-batch-of-campaign-items That is the method we are calling from our application, which submits the JSON object via an AJAX post. Here is a section of our code to show what we are doing: $url = 'https://backstage.taboola.com/backstage/oauth/token'; $data = array('client_id' => $taboolaCID, 'client_secret' => $taboolaSecret, 'grant_type' => 'client_credentials'); $options = array( 'http' => array( 'header' => "Content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded\r\n", 'method' => 'POST', 'content' => http_build_query($data), ) ); $context = stream_context_create($options); $result = file_get_contents($url, false, $context); $taboolaAccessToken = json_decode($result)->{'access_token'}; $ch = curl_init('https://backstage.taboola.com/backstage/api/1.0/'.$taboolaAccount.'/campaigns/'.$campaign_id.'/items/mass' ); $payload = json_encode($collection, JSON_UNESCAPED_SLASHES); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, βOur Application Name'); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $payload ); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array( 'Content-Type: application/json', 'cache-control: no-cache', 'Authorization: Bearer ' . $taboolaAccessToken )); $data = curl_exec($ch); $info = curl_getinfo($ch); curl_close($ch); Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
