Hi, Is there any way to get a list of available publishers only? I mean, only the active ones; the blocked and network publishers to be excluded from that API call. https://backstage.taboola.com/backstage/api/1.0/account_id/allowed-publishers/ I want to block any publisher with the word "push" and I can find 2500~ matches. I can't block all of them because of blocking limit of 1500. Thank you!

Hello. I have 2 questions: 1. I want to block some publishers at the campaign level. I tried to PATCH with the action "REMOVE" and I'm receiving the same error for all publishers even if we have data in the last 10 days for that publisher. ERROR: "publisher cnbc does not exist in the campaign’s auto_publisher_targeting" or "{publisher_id} not exists in campaign targeting" Before REMOVING it, I tried to ADD the publisher to that campaign and after that, it worked, I could block it. There is another way or I'm doing it wrong? 2. What is the difference between "publisher_targeting" and "auto_publisher_targeting" for blocking at campaign level?

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.

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.
