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

Blocking sites in bulk
I'm sorry if this question has been asked, but I'm unable to find it.
Is there a way to block sites in bulk? Trying to avoid having to click hundreds of individual properties.
With regards,

Invalid publisher_targeting.value
Hi, I am trying to block publishers via campaign update.
for some reason I get:
Invalid publisher_targeting.value
I've exported the names of the publishers via https://backstage.taboola.com/backstage/api/1.0/account_id/allowed-publishers/
I used the exact name as written in the response but I still get:
Invalid publisher_targeting.value
I tried many variations
for instance for this publisher - Gannett - USA today I've tried:
gannett-usatoday
gannett - usa today
Gannett - USA Today
publisher id - 1168
please let me know what could be the problem.
Thanks,
Amir.

Block Publishers at Campaign Level Via Numeric Site IDs
Hi,
Is it possible to block publishers via the API using the numeric site IDs or by using the exact site name as they appear in the platform UI?
Example here: https://prnt.sc/10tjolm

Unable to Block Pubs
Hi Team,
We were told that our pub blocking limit at the account level has been increased from 1500 pubs to 3000 pubs. So, we tried blocking more than 1500 pubs but are getting the following error:
Error Message: You can not target/block more than 1,500 sites.
Please advise?

Can I reactivate mediums that I've blocked in the past through the API?

Some Publishers Cannot Be Blocked In API
We noticed a strange issue where there are many publisher IDs that cannot seem to be blocked using the API.
We get a successful response (200) to our campaign update request, and in the response object the 'publisher_targeting' seems accurate. However, if we retrieve the campaign details immediately after, the 'publisher_targeting' is missing many (but not all) of the publisher IDs we tried to block. The UI also does not show these publishers as blocked.
