Find placement category of placement URL

[a...@aditor.com]

How can placement category, (like All Apps > Google Play > Games > Puzzle) be found for a specific placement URL (like mobileapp::2-com.landlordgame.tycoon) for mobile apps for display campaigns?

Hi Art,

The domain information in the Placement Performance Report or the Automatic Placements Performance Report can be mapped to a category using the DataService. Please refer to this example for more details.

Still can't figure out how DataService helps for my example, could you please provide a link or share a code snippet or provide a detailed description about how to find a category of a specific mobile app url, for example of mobileapp::2-com.landlordgame.tycoon?

Hi,

You may be able to see the category by looking at CriteriaParameters on the URL_PERFORMANCE_REPORT. Please give that a try and let me know if that helps.

Cheers,
