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!
Hi, I ran API to update "Bid Modifier Per Publisher" to 0.011 and got a successful message, >> string(212) "{"patch_operation":"ADD","publisher_targeting":null,"auto_publisher_targeting":null,"publisher_bid_modifier":{"values":[{"target":"villagenews","cpc_modification":0.011}]},"publisher_bid_strategy_modifiers":null}" But when I check back on Taboola backstage Bid amount for that specific site is not updated. http://prntscr.com/sc3z6l The campaign is in fixed bid setting at .60. Any idea why it fails to be updated? thank you.

Hi there, I'm writing from Blinkist or Blinks Labs GmbH. At the moment, a lot of automation changes that we push through the API are not working. Mainly to do with campaign level CPC changes and publisher bid adjustment. You can find them documented in this file, along with the error messages that we receive. Can you have a lot and tell us what we are doing wrong? Here's a quick summary to help you get into this. 1. We push campaign level CPC changes and the publisher bids for the respective campaigns in one go, so we only get one error message -> message: 'Cpc boost value must be between -99% and 100%'. This doesn't help us understand why the campaign level CPC changes are not happening. 2. For publisher bids, we always send it as a %, either +20%, +10% or -50%. We see instances of failure with each of these changes, which isn't explained by this error message: Cpc boost value must be between -99% and 100%' 3. We do have instances where the campaign level CPC changes are pushed successfully, it is when a campaign does not have publisher bidding changes. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1t5cUZCtXBgzwnSZ48XIvZW3bsWKwJb7ySPN4eMlUbcE/edit#gid=0 We're looking forward to your assistance so we can solve this asap.
