Hi everyone, as the title suggests, I'm trying to see if it's possible to do a bulk update for publisher_bid_modifer. Looking at https://developers.taboola.com/backstage-api/reference/bulk-update-campaigns, publisher_bid_modifier is.... not an option, but when having to do thousands of sites individually as PATCH operations... At some point it may be so long that the cronjob won't be finished before it kicks off again 24 hours later. I don't know if it's possible, BUT... if it is, I'm POSTing to: https://backstage.taboola.com/backstage/api/1.0/{$accountId}/campaigns/bulk-update and my payload looks something like: {"campaigns":[12345],"update":{"publisher_bid_modifier":{"values":[{"target":"abc123","cpc_modification":1.5}]}}} Whenever I post it, I get back a 400, the error is usually something like: {"http_status":400,"message":"Bad request","message_code":"api.action.bad_request.null"} So... Is this possible, or do I have to patch? What's wrong with my payload that I'm posting, IF this is something we're able to do? Thank you!

Hi, I found how to modify site level bids via API, but I can't find how to get the current bid configuration data. When I change the bid in your interface, then in the response body it is in the "configured_cpc" field. How can I get the current site level bid configuration data via API?

Is there a way to change the bid of a site using api?

I want to use the patch modify bids endpoint to change bids and strategies on certain sites, and I would want to change the bid occusainly, how could I know when to use `ADD` and when to use `REPLACE` as a `patch_operation`? I would usually patch multiple sites at once so I don't want to send a GET request for every site.

Hey, I am trying to patch publisher bid modifier trough backstage api but i get an error 404 with message "account" Could you provide any information what could cause this kind of error? request body: { "patch_operation": "ADD", "publisher_targeting": null, "publisher_bid_modifier": { "values": [ { "target": "123456", "cpc_modification": 1.1 } ] }, "publisher_bid_strategy_modifiers": null } response body { "http_status": 404, "message": "account" } Elvar

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. We're looking forward to your assistance so we can solve this asap. Sandra
