How to assign Creatives to a Campaign via API

Hi,

Can someone guide me how to map the creative to a campaign via api. I got an error as Creative must be assigned to the campaign before it can be associated with the ad.

Hi Canvas,

 

It seems that you did not receive my last response so I am reposting it here.

 

"I'm Michael and I work along with Teejay, allow me to assist you here.

 

It looks like you have not assigned the creative to the campaign. Have you tried associating your creative to the campaign? Additionally, please ensure that your creative type is compatible with your ad type as well as the sizes should be the same. Please check here for more information."

Hi Michael,

I have solved the problem, but once AD has been created how to enter the event tag values/data via api? Can you help me how to add Event Tags to the exisitng Ads/ adding event Tags during at the time of AD Creation? I have attached the screenshot for reference.

Hi Canvas,

 

Glad that the previous issue has been resolved.

 

For your current query, as far as I know, you may create a new event tags by using the eventTags.insert() method then in the instance of the Ad when you are creating the Ad using ads.insert() method, under the eventTagOverrides field, you may add the ID of the generated event tag.

 

 Let me know if this helps or you need further assistance.

Thank you for the response. Why I cant use the Get eventTags.get(). It throws an error saying 3140 : Version v3.3 of the DCM/DFA Trafficking and Reporting API is no longer supported.. I make a get request to get the sample eventTags json so that I can make use of for the insert?

Hi Canvas,

I work along with Michael. Allow me to assist you in this.

The reason that you're getting that kind of error is because you're using an old version of the API. That said, would recommend to use the latest version 3.5 instead.
