Tag datas never returned following placement.generatetags

[Joe Thomas]

I'm using javascript to generate click trags via the cm360 api however the placementTags object that is returned only has placementID and no tagDatas, as seen below:

placementTags: [ { placementId: <PLACEMENT ID> } ]

My request is structured like this:

dfareporting.placements.generatetags({ profileId: profileID, body: {}, placementIds: [<PLACEMENT_ID>], campaignId: <CAMPAIGNID>, tagFormats: ["PLACEMENT_TAG_STANDARD"] });

My placement was constructed with the below resource with no errors returned:

{

                    "kind": "dfareporting#placement",

                    "campaignId": "<CAMPAIGN ID>",

                    "name": "<PLACEMENT NAME>",

                    "directorySiteId": "<SITE ID>",

                    "paymentSource": "PLACEMENT_AGENCY_PAID",

                    "compatibility": "DISPLAY",

                    "tagSettings": {

                        "includeClickTracking": true,

                        "includeClickThroughUrls": true

                    },

                    "size": {

                        "width": 1,

                        "height": 1,

                        "kind": "dfareporting#size"

                    },

                    "pricingSchedule": {

                        "startDate": "<THE CURRENT DATE>",

                        "endDate": "2030-01-01",

                        "pricingType": "PRICING_TYPE_CPM"

                    },

                    "tagFormats": "PLACEMENT_TAG_STANDARD"

                  }`;

How can I ensure that tagDatas is returned?

Many thanks,

Hi,

Thank you for reaching out to the DCM API support team.

I understand that you are using the method placements.generatetags method which is returning only placementID and no tagDatas. In order to get the tagsData, I would suggest you to use the method placements.get where you can get the list of tagsData associated with the Placement Id. The method placements.generatetags is used for generating tags for a placement.
 

Thanks,
 

DCM API Team
