Hello,

I am using the v 1.13 of the API for DFA. I have also checked the
1.14 version and I am having the same problem

The creative type documentation can be found here:

http://code.google.com/apis/dfa/docs/reference/v1.13/creative/objects/CreativeType.html

This page lists the creative type id and its corresponding name. It
lists 16 types and their corresponding values.

But its completely wrong.

When I use the operation getCreativeTypes on the
CreativeRemoteService:

http://code.google.com/apis/dfa/docs/reference/v1.13/creative/service.html#getCreativeTypes

I get back 21 creative types:

1 Image
2 Redirect
3 HTML In-page
4 Internal Redirect
5 HTML Interstitial
6 Interstitial Internal Redirect
7 Tracking Text
8 Tracking Image
9 Tracking HTML
24 Flash In-page
13 Rich Media In-Page
14 Rich Media In-Page With Floating
15 Rich Media In-Page With Overlay
16 Rich Media Image With Floating
17 Rich Media Image With Overlay
18 Rich Media Expanding
19 Rich Media Floating
20 Rich Media Overlay
21 Rich Media Floating With Reminder
28 Rich Media Flash-In-Flash
30 MobileDisplay

Since the creatives I am retrieving using the API match the list I
posted above I am assuming that it is in fact correct and the 16
creative types listed in the documentation page are wrong.

Can you please verify that this is the case?

thanks

Hello Brian,

The creative types returned by the API are the correct ones. They are
also listed a second place on the code site (correctly), here:
http://code.google.com/apis/dfa/docs/creative_types.html#creatives

We'll fix the location you've pointed out so that it also reflects the
correct values. Thanks for bringing this to our attention!

Regards,
- Joseph DiLallo, the DFA API Team
