Getting campaigns that have been running for x hours

[Samir Sabri]

Hello

For a specific customer account, we can get a listing of all campaigns, however, how can we get a listing of running campaigns that have been running for x hours? is that possible?

Thanks,

Hello,

You can run the campaign report and select the field hour to see if your campaigns were running and had impressions for that hour.

Thanks Anthony, but I did not meat to investigate on a certain hour, but I needed to know which campaign that has been active for certain amount of hours. For example, I want to know which campaigns that have been running for 8 hours or more so far.

We have custom logic that calculates the campaign revenue, and we need to determine if a campaign laster certain amount of hours, before we calculate if its losing or winning.

Hi Samir,

Unfortunately, there is no method in the API to determine how many hours a campaign has been running. You may be able to use the hour field and use some logic to calculate this depending on if the campaigns had impressions for consecutive hours.
