Alternative to targettingideaservice placement ideatype

[Chirag]

Hello All,

Since ideatype : placement is depricated from v201409, Is there any alternative to have Placement Idea type results to fetch from?

Thanks,

Hello,

Unfortunately, there is no alternative at this time. You cannot fetch PLACEMENT ideas using the TargetingIdeaService or another service.

We are aware of this gap in functionality. Please watch our blog for information on future releases and features.

Hello Michael,

Thanks for reply.

I suppose this is a big change and also need some alternative to have this data.

Hi Michael,

In our self-serve tool, we allow customers to enter URLs, and we use the TargetingIdeaService to provide them with a list of placements to choose from. With the removal of the PLACEMENT ideaType, how can we retrieve IDs for placements so that our customers can target their display campaigns?

Thanks,
Jason

Hi Jason,

We're still discussing potential replacements for this functionality. Once we have a plan in place we'll announce it on our blog.

Hi Chirag,

No news yet, but when this happens it will be with the release of a new version of the API since we'll be changing or replacing service definitions.

Hello Josh,

It's been 5 month since this is required.

Any hope to get update on this service?

Thanks,
