Hey guys, 

We would like to extract all assets/creatives for the campaigns that we ran before on DCM, is there any way we could make it happen?

Thanks, 
Nicole

Hi Nicole,

You can use the Creative.list service provided by the DCM API to retrieve the creatives and creative assets. Pass the campaignId as the optional parameter to retrieve creatives and creative assets associated to a specific campaign.

Thanks and Regards,
Sonia Thomas, DCM API Team.

Thanks, Sonia. 
By using the creative.list, I can see detailed information of each creatives. However, is there anyway to download creatives in jpg format or any image file format?

Hi Nicole,

Currently, DCM API does not support downloading the creative images in any format.

Hello Sonia,

Is that still truth?
We produce reporting dashboards and our clients wanna see results segmented by creative, and they want to see the actual creatives within the dashboard.

Is there any possible way to do that?

Tks
Pablo

Hi Tai,

for us it's possible to download the creative assets for image ads.

You can pull the image directly from: 

From the api we grap the advertiserId and the name of the asset we want to download.

Example:

advertiserId = 123
creativename = xyz.jpg
=>

In case of html5 ads you'll get the complete iframe-url/src, so if you build a web dashboard you could also include html5 ads via iframe. 

Cheers,
Patrick

Hi Patrick,

Thanks so much!

Hi Adam,

Thank you for reaching out to us. As per checking, currently this feature is not supported on DCM API. A feature request has been submitted related to this and currently being reviewed by the team. For the meantime, you may want to check the other developers suggestion as a workaround.


You can pull the image directly from: 
https://s0.2mdn.net/[advertiserId]/[asset_name]

From the api we grap the advertiserId and the name of the asset we want to download.

Example:

advertiserId = 123
creativename = xyz.jpg
=>
https://s0.2mdn.net/123/xyz.jpg

Hi Team,

Static ads work perfectly. Does anyone manage to pull video ads from the platform?

Thank you!

Thanks,

Hi all, any updates here? The "https://s0.2mdn/advertiserID/creativeName.jpg" URL works for static, but not HTML. Can anyone elaborate on how to pull HTML images?

Hi David,

Asset Names should be part of the creative. You can try https://developers.devsite.corp.google.com/doubleclick-advertisers/rest/v3.5/creatives/get  to fetch a creative by ID, and look through its creative assets to get creative assets list.

Thank you Teejay! Very interesting. We are working on utilizing the API, but in the meantime, do you know of a way to export this information at scale from the platform UI?

Hi David,

Thank you for getting back to us.

With regard to your concern, I'm afraid that I cannot provide further insight as this is more on CM360 UI side. With this, we would recommend raising it to our Product Support Team via this link instead. The product specialist there should be able to provide precise guidance to your concern.

Regarding the asset file download, getting an update on whether this is available would be great. 

Thanks!
