Sites pause/unpause specific campaign only
Hi, I'm trying to pause sites on a specific campaign with this endpoint:
https://backstage.taboola.com/backstage/api/1.0/{network-account-name}/campaigns/{campaign-id}
I can see sites paused (they are reflected after 20 min to dashboard) but they result blocked as "Account Level" and I can't unpause them with backstage.
How could I block sites for that campaign only?
Furthermore how could now unblock sites blocked on Account Level?
Thanks

Can't exclude Network publisher
Hello,
while trying to block campaigns at the account level, I get this message:
{
"http_status": 400,
"message": "Can't exclude Network publisher",
"message_code": "api.action.bad_request.null"
}
this is what I sent:
POST https://backstage.taboola.com/backstage/api/1.0/ACCOUNTID/block-publisher\
Body:
{
"sites": [
"indiatoday-businesstoday",
"indiatoday-wonderwoman",
"indiatoday-cosmo"
]
}
The account I am sending the request for is not a network account. What could be the problem?
Thanks,
Amoir

Block Levels
I'm looking at your `Campaign Summary` reports (specifically in relation to the `platform_breakdown` dimension), and I'm trying to understand the potential `blocking_level` values listed in your documentation.
https://developers.taboola.com/backstage-api/reference#dimension-specific-columns
These three don't fit with my current mental model of how Taboola blocking works.
```
EMULATED - Emulated auto-block
NETWORK - Network level block
ADVERTISER_NETWORK - Advertiser network level block
```
Can you provide more color?
Assuming `NETWORK` or `ADVERTISER_NETWORK` spans multiple Taboola accounts, can we have an api access point to mutate these values? We currently have to iterate over all our accounts to perform blocks. During product planning, one of our major risks was the quantity limits at the different blocking levels. An additional Network level block would alleviate some of our current concerns, simplify our processes and reduce api calls.
